Notes from author
I don't really know what to say, the title alone says most things. It took me a lot of time to make this build, although I don't know if this is already a popular one and I just copied another build without even realizing it, but it's just my take on it. Basically how it works is simple: You are melee only, but very mobile. You can also break guards efficiently thanks to Black Flame, however if you want more damage and if someone isn't turtling very much, I put in the option to use Great Combustion. I didn't choose Great Fireball because it's easy to get backstabbed while trying to toss it, even while having 45 DEX and it can easily be rolled through. It's best to just avoid it completely, so I decided to add these spells because they are very fast and do a lot of damage for their speed. I also managed to put in 1800 HP, while still managing to make the damage of the sword decent. I wanted to choose the Long sword, but this ended up being better because they have similar damage, I can put in more stats somewhere else, and it has more range. However, I do miss the quick 2 handed heavy attack, but this one is just as good. I also wish I could put in the Leo ring instead of the Wolf ring, but sadly, the Wolf ring is much more important, and the Leo ring is very situational, so I decided to put this in to get that sweet 58 poise to withstand 2 handed great sword attacks. This build has some utility, and it's pretty simple, you can also buff it with Gold Pine Resin if you get the chance, so that's great as well. Enjoy.
