The Abyss sword can be difficult to use in PvP effectively, as such Dark Bead usually compensates. Fast acting pyromancy can also be used, the stats can be rearranged for extra attunement slots and the Wolf Ring can be swapped when fighting low poise-damage enemies. The Silver Knight +5 shield and Ornstien's/Demon's spear can be used effectively with this class for a faster and better defensive move set in PvP
