Notes from author
With two great machetes and armor made of stone you will strike fear into your enemy and will be known as an immovable force. Why would you need a shield when you are the shield. With powerful chaos AOE pyromancies and the addition of iron flesh for even more defense. You are both a great offense and defense player (when using this build). Just make sure not to get stabbed in the back. Your main weapon is imbued with fire, it is mainly a fear tactic, however it is great for dealing fire damage to your foes. Your offhand is normal allowing you to deal max physical damage with your left hand strikes. Of course which machete is your main hand option is up to you and it is good for you to vary up your play style (That's the fun of it). Your dark hand can be used to absorb the life from your foe making them even more scared! This build is all about the fear. Make your opponent cautious and not aggressive. This is boosted by your high vitality, allowing you to absorb blows and be aggressive. Good luck and Hunt or Be Hunted!
(P.S. You can get exact 50% equip burden with 49 endurance but I though that looked wrong so I put and extra point in to even out everything.)
