Notes from author
My kamikaze, crazy damage STR/FTH build.
This is the fast-rolling version. If I'm playing in most PvE situations or invading in the forest and expecting gankers, I go for a mid-roll set up: Chain helm, Knight Armor, Smough's Gauntlets, Elite Knight Leggings, Crest Shield. Usually with TWoP instead of Power Within (only used on gankers). You can swap out the Wolf Ring for Hornet if you're using that set-up (and want to be a massive prick).
Build also works well with Greataxe if you can cope with its shitty range.
