Notes from author
Faith/Dex build:
Forest, Sunlight covenant, and kill gwyndolin in ng, darkmoon blade in ng+
Haven't tried this build out yet. I don't think it needs great magic barrier or most of the projectile miracles but I will have more fun if the build has more spells than just the two buffs.
Cast replenishment and karmic justice on yourself before your choice of sunlight/darkmoon blade. Switch to shield and two hand buffed falchion. Go in ham! Your fast ninja flip rolls do damage and poise damage, the falchion R1s for great damage and bleed, and if you get stunlocked karmic justice will save you. Two hand the shield or switch to the scythe (or try another spell) to switch tactics and go for surprise if your life lead dwindles.
You could replace the spiked shield with any other shield of your choice, maybe one with 100% reduction, a Stat boost, a better parry, or (with the pierce shield) better physical damage. I like that the spiked shield also does bleed.
The great scythe could also be replaced with a smaller (or no!) secondary weapon to equip a better chest plate or to reduce the required endurance points for the build. I would suggest priscilla's dagger for parries back stabs and the tasty bleed, but anything could go in the slot.
The build caps at lvl 200, but by reducing the endurance, attunement, faith, and/or dex stat a lower level (or a different focus) can easily be attained.
I have not yet actually play tested this build. I plan to use this build in a co-op playthrough with my chat on the stream. I like this build because it is powerful and versatile, but also because it requires going into ng+ as well as doing lots of covenant multi-player throughout.
Definitely inspired by Oroboro's darkmoon falchion, I am not original! I'm also not 100% certain that he can truly take credit, but that is where I first encountered it.
