Notes from author
This is an Int-Warrior build. Relying mainly on weapons and using spells either as support or bait.
I'm posting some of the stuff I do with this build, as well as the purpose of some specifications. Please take these items as mere suggestions and dismiss them at will.
1. I usually menu swap the MGS to MBH when I feel I need it, like when facing a spear flipper.
2. The armor has enough poise to endure 2h katana and halberd hits, but I occasionally switch to a lighter setup (Big Hat, BS Cloak, BS Gauntlets and Black Leather Boots) in order to free the ring slot occupied by Havel's. Use any ring you want. I recommend DWGR, Dragoncrest, or Leo for Velka's Rapier.
3. I use CWM on a 2h Obsidian Greatsword when I feel like harbingering death. If you don't feel like using this "strategy", feel free to change CWM to something more useful.
4. Chameleon is mostly for trolling, but can save you if you manage to lose the host for enough time.
5. Tin Crystallization Catalyst can replace Logan's if you don't mind the reduced castings.
