Notes from author
Everything about him is golden. Simple.
SL133 allows you to still fight as low as SL120 builds, go any higher, like SL134, and you won't have that opportunity.
Remember to make his hair and eyes golden.
The Crown of Dusk is usually ugly, but it fits the spikiness of Ornstein's armor perfectly. Speaking of armor, it gives a nice 36 poise, which is enough to tank a 1HR1 of any greatsword. Defense is pretty fucking shit though. But hey, who needs 400 defense anyway.
Crown of Dusk + 50 faith + Sunlight Spear = destruction, and 45 dexterity allows you to throw them quickly. I wish I could throw in the Sun's Firstborn ring but egh, weight and HP restrictions and all.
You have 6.6 weight left to fuck around with, that's enough for a 6 unit weapon and the mail breaker as back up for example. The BSS + shotel combo works really nicely for me.
37 vitality + FaP ring = 1500+ HP, it's enough really. 1500HP is 50 vitality without any sort of HP enhancing item, so it's nothing to sneeze at.
You also got 170+ stamina, you need 40 stamina to reach 160 without the FaP ring so it's pretty decent too.
16 strength because lots of good weapons require that much. Simple as that. If you somehow won't find yourself using those, feel free to downgrade it as you see fit.
Sanctus for the obvious golden theme.
Try and see if you can use the Paladin's set instead if you can by tweaking the build to your liking. I don't because the ringing noise of that armor is really obnoxious to me.
That's pretty much it. It's a pretty cool build in my opinion but what do I know, I'm only its creator.
