Notes from author
The object of this build is to have a build that excels at both PVE and PVP. I picked the Wanderer as the starting class as it provides the greatest benefits to the stats we need, while also staying away from those we don't. Now on to the stats break down. Vitality is where we dump all of our excess points for the extra health. Endurance is leveled to 40 as that gives us a nice pool of stamina to pull from, and it also gives us the exact equip load we need for our gear. Strength is at 14 to allow us to use more weapons. Dexterity is at 40 to make sure we hit as hard as we can. And finally faith is at 40 so we can use all our selected miracles and to enable us to use the Darkmoon talisman. Leveling priority should be enough strength and dex to use your desired weapons, then endurance and vitality up to a reasonable level, and finishing it off with attunement and faith. Now on to gear. We use the Grass Crest Shield for the extra stam regen, and we won't be blocking much anyway. Balder side sword just because it's a great all around weapon, though this can be switched out for other things like a Chaos Blade or Ricard's rapier. And darkmoon talsiman and pyromancy flame for spells obviously. Mask of the Child for more stam regen. Gold Hemmed Cloak due to its excellent stats and weight. Havel's Gauntlets to give us some extra poise. Hollow soldier's waistcloth because of its superb poise-to-weight ratio. ring of favor and protection to allow us to hit our desired equip load, the extra stam and health doesn't hurt either. There are a number of different options for the second ring slot, it really comes down to personal preference. Cloranthy ring for even more stam regen, leo ring if you're using a stabbing weapon like a rapier, or even Havel's ring if you want to use heavier weapons like the claymore. the spells should be fairly self explanatory, and i'm about out of characters :P That wraps it up for this build, be sure to leave any comments if you have any questions
