Notes from author
Now you too can be the nicest man in Lordran! Strength should be the LAST thing you invest in, given that the Shotel has E scaling at all upgrade levels. Keep Vitality at 85 (how much more could you really need...) to be accurate to the max amount of health Lautrec can reach. Fire Keeper Soul and Divine Blessing as some fun little nods to his storyline, Gravelord Covenant and Eyes of Death so that you're practically ASKING to get invaded! Gravelord Sword Dance since it's simply capitalizing on the perks given by being in the Gravelord Covenant. Have fun, and be nice, and for a special challenge, kill as many NPC's as you can. Anything for Fina's love!
Extra note: If you'd rather not wait as a gravelord for pvp, you can alternatively just use Red Eye Orbs and/or Red Sign Soapstone.
