Notes from author
Hello, I'm introducing a build that demonstrates the flexibility and power of having high dex and somewhat minimal strength, with incredulously high VIT and END.
You fastroll with decent armor, poise, two weapons that go in the right hand, and the lightest 100% physical shield with good parry frames.
Not only can I find the movesets of these weapons swift and applicable in my style of play, but their own abilities also come into mind, considering how critical they can be.
Naturally, the Estoc would be used to attack while guarding up, or to riposte.
The curved sword will be used to punish people who block too much for their own good.
There are other weapons you can use (yet perhaps alone) such as the Flamberge that can be buffed with the rotten pine resin.
I find the synergy of that greatsword's bleed effect paired with poison to be more than fulfilling, while especially considering the Flamberge's swift R2 attacks and overall output.
Yes, feel free to bamboozle your opponent by donning such humble looking armor and then spamming R1 away with a Gold Tracer as much as you want; but please do try to play around with the Estoc and Shotel, or perhaps run around with the Partizan or Flamberge!
