Faith/Dex build utilising the Balder Sword with both SLB and DMB.
77 poise allows you to withstand a 2handed swing from a Zweihander. Make sure you mash the crap out of that R2 button if that happens.
Add 4 more points to End to use the Grass Cress shield over the Target Shield if you need more stamina. Points can be removed from Dex, as the buffs help to compensate for the lost physical damage.
Switch the Wolf Ring with the Leo Ring if you're fighting Rapier/Katana users to up your physical trading power with the R2s while still allowing you to poise through their hits.
Build is interchangeable with the Falchion if you feel like ruining someone's day/your R2 is broken.
