Notes from author
Build revolves around the claymore. If you can, you should be buffing before every fight.
When enemies try to backstab fish you, swap to your off-hand chaos Shotel. Swapping will lose your Darkmoon Blade but covers a popular counter to the Claymore. This strategy keeps your enemy at a distance, something you'll want to try and manage to be successful with the Claymore.
Dark Wood Grain ring allows you to be aggressive while still being safe, useful for when trying to space with the Claymore.
