Notes from author
This is the way I have it set up but you can go many ways with this really.
You can swap the Whip out for the Large Leather Shield with decent Defenses and Stability.
Your primary weapon choice can very easily consist of the very popular Dexterity weapons with this build. The Great Scythe just happens to be my favorite since I got into PVP in early 2013.
I prefer the Crown of the Dark Sun over the Dusk Crown every time. If you're comfortable with low Magic Defense then by all means feel free to swap it for that. You would be able to add something heavier than the Maiden Robe probably.
I just love the Iron Bracket + Iron Leggings + Wolf Ring combination. I use it when ever I can really, excellent Defense-Poise-Weight ratio. The Iron Set has really good elemental defenses for Medium Armor and retains excellent Physical Defenses.
Oh boy time for the rings now...
Well, you have many routes to take...
You can stack Favor and Havels for insane Poise but with just Havels you can have the full Iron Set + Grass Crest Shield on with a free ring slot for all sorts of options like the Wolf Ring for 80 Poise or Ninja Flip with 40 Poise.
You can swap either Wolf Ring or Red Tearstone Ring for the Darkwood Grain Ring, depending on if you prefer Defense or Offense.
And of course the Red Tearstone Ring can totally be swapped out for the Hornet Ring if you prefer immediate damage without the risk vs reward dilemma that I prefer.
Wrath of the Gods can be subbed for Pyromancy like Black Flame or if you really like hatemail, run Power Within + Crown of Dusk + Red Tearstone + Whip-Great Scythe buffed with 150 lightning damage from Gold Pine Resin-Composite Bow-six casts of Wrath of the Gods combination.
You can also take two points out of Attunement and put it into Faith for Sunlight Blade or Darkmoon Blade with either three casts of Wrath of the Gods, eicht casts of Black Flames, or Power Within-Crown of Dusk-Red Tearstone Ring combination.
Again please rate and enjoy! \[T]/
