Notes from author
This build was primarily focused around being able to take punishment whilst having different methods of attack. The longsword is a simple and useful tool especially when switching up between the 2 handed and 1 handed move-sets. The shield is there for the extra stamina regen and for its 95% Physical block. The Composite bow pairs extremely well with a Quality the build, so it was added in as another method of attacking. The Bow gets used for long range, and has poison arrows to cause tension and arrest for the player that it hits. If you want more damage, then use Large Arrows for and extra 18 more AR. Poison throwing knives and the Rotten Pine Resin are also included to help the player inflict poison onto the opponent, making this combo very deadly. The rings of course, are there for the extra Health, Stamina, and Equipment load for the armor. Speaking of armor, this combo of armor will yield a total of 61 poise, which is aimed at withstanding 2 (R1/RB) hits from a 2-handed Katana. All in all, this build has multiple ways of killing your enemy, whether inflicting poison and doing the "Well what is it" emote, or by slicing them to bits with the Long-sword's R2/RT attack, you will definitely be slaughtering anyone foolish enough to go up against you.
