Notes from author
ok so after researching all the vids on youtube from all the best players (peeve, oroboro, mriwont4get, jblackmel and many more) this is what i came up with
you get the leo ring so you get massive counter damage as seen used by mriwont4get and you got the grate lord great sword for ripostes and its awesome r2s on wakeup when you land parries
falchion is main weapon (like oro :-D) but only buff if the other guy clearly has no honour (mom mask anyone?? ;-D) because r1 spam is not cool, just rely on your leo counters, only use wog if you're getting ganked!! which happens in the forest all the time
buckler is best shield for parries, parries are good because they require skill not like backstabs so even though you have high poise don't bs (unless gankers or tryhards then anything goes!!)
you don't need dumb mom mask because all that does is give more hp, just don't get hit, 50 in vit is just so you can survive a lagstab
with this build you get all thr pros but you still need skill, not like tryhard build which is just easy mode but with this build tryhards will all get rekt anyway..........
happy hunting!!!
