Notes from author
Reject Falchion, embrace hand axe.
Same speed, similar range, mmuch lower stat requirements to reach first soft-cap when two handing, strength and faith go better than strength and dex, the list goes on.
Even better, you know how Oroboro's build has 12 more physical AR? The 50 faith here gets 113.4 more magical AR from Darkmoon blade, and our WotG does significantly more damage. (Due to the way defense is calculated, even a slight increase in magic AR can lead to significant increases in damage dealt, so that 113 is absolutely bonkers. Moreover, Gravelord Greatsword Dance is underrated on recovery, it catches people getting up like nobody's business. Finally, we hit a higher poise breakpoint than Oro, and the combination of the Mask of the Child and Power within means that we can spam far more than any old curved sword user, and do far more damage.
