Notes from author
SL 122 because this lets you be summoned by SL 100 Red Sign Soapstones.
Largely a flavor build that relies on Gravelord Greatsword's decent (although lower than Murakumo) damage and useful thrust attack. Gravelord Greatsword Dance and Pursuers help with flavor as well as situational damage. Pursuers is the engage spell while Greatsword Dance allows you to do some tricky bullshit. The idea is to be in the Gravelord Covenant, get people to counter-invade you to stop your black phantoms, and then cheese them with Greatsword Dance and host advantage.
Gravelord Sword as the main weapon with Velka's Talisman and the Sorceror's Catalyst for the spells. Grass Crest Shield will be on the back for stamina regen. Dark Mask and Gloves for flavor and badassery, Black Iron Armor and Leggings cause it looks dope and gives good armor. Ring of Favor and Protection because why wouldn't you use it. Cloranthy Ring substitutes the lack of Mask of the Child, but it can be substituted on the fly for Wolf Ring for extra poise if better trades are needed, although 64 poise is already pretty high. Light Rolling isn't worth the Endurance investment to get to it, but a large Endurance is still useful because of Curved Greatsword's high stamina cost.
