Notes from author
So this is for a playthrough I wanted to try where both Dex and Strength were about equal throughout the playthrough, which allows a lot of flexibility to wield different weapons as you go through, rather than being a "strength" weapon build, or a "Dex" weapon build.
Por Qe Do Los Dos? (Why not have both?)
This build relies on you to be good at the game such as rolling to avoid hits. It's a must, otherwise when you get into mid-late game, you will be one-shotted. ON the other hand though, you will also wreck face thanks to your double scaling.
(Hot tip, get the Black Knight Sword early on and you WILL one-shot the Taurus Demon, the Capra Demon, and the boar in Undead Parish.[note: must plunge attack] Not to mention all those black knights will be a walk in the park.[parry/backstab])
The armour is optimised to find the best lightning-physical reduction ratio. There are 1 or 2 other helms that will give maybe 2 points more lightning defense, but really not worth it with the amount of physical they take off.
Speckled Stoneplate ring is used in correspondence with the green blossom item. If you don't have green blossom, switch to cloranthy ring.
The weapon is your choice, as I said, flexible.
The shield: well Artorias' shield gives the best defense-stability ratio. It's boss, basically.
Anyway, if you're interested in this build then I hope you have fun with it :)
