Notes from author
My current favourite build to use at this time. This build really requires you to be patient and make the best out of every open hole in your opponents defense, punishing them in one of the most cruel ways possible; a critical with the rapier. This is my first build making on this website and it is a 40/40 honour sword, which really isn't that great of a weapon but I think if used really carefully it can be quite a deadly weapon. This build isn't that great for fighting gankers, and falls short against bleed and magic, which is why I have the blood red moss clump on the hotbar. This build is actually heavily inspired by a PS3 player named Hells_servan_t23, whom I don't really know plays anymore. In fact, it might be his exact build. Anywho, you can swap out to crest shield whenever you run into Darkmoon Blade or Crystal Magic Weapon, since its unlikely they'll have pyromancy anyways so the black knight shield wouldn't do much good there. Other wise, the basic strat I use this build is to space the best I can with lunges and R1's from the longsword (Just like Kobra) and using the rapier when I am going for a critical (if you pull out the rapier then rush in for a backstab your opponent will likely notice it though) You can also poke with the rapier, which is very strong, the reach is less than an estoc and less damaging but still another tool you can use. Be careful when trading hits with a bleed weapon though. This is build is fun to use, but a more Min/Maxed "better" version would be a midroll i've seen fisto use, Estoc, Gold Tracer, mommy mask, giants, havels, giants. Basically the same strategy I think, but controlling space with the estoc and scaring your opponent with bleed. Again, this is my first time posting so i'm probably all over the place here but i'll get better at this. I'm by no means a good pvper, so I try to explain things the best way I can, but I might be wrong about some things.
