Notes from author
This build is not meant to be used in Dark Souls. It is also not a fashion souls build. No, this build is merely what you would see on a real battlefield, hence "practical". In real combat, your not going to just be fast rolling all over, tanking is a real deal strategy. And 53 Poise...HAH. The only real poise you will need is the willingness to continue even after you have been slashed down to the bone. Now Bleed Resist wouldn't exist, as every hit that pierces your flesh will cause bleeding. As for the tearstone rings, even on the brink of death you give it all you have, and then some. This is the build of a soldier I would gladly allow in my army. Why else did I not give it a covenant???
On a side note, I was going to go into detail about how the 0 Humanity would also symbolize a true warrior and support that statement with the actual warrior class but I felt it may be a bit too aggressive.
