Notes from author
The concept you're looking at this is meaning that you're already a veteran or a fan of the game and you want more to come. The more players we get, the better the community becomes (aside from some of the twinking/ganking/chicken hawking we get, but come on, we need those guys too: need some "bad guys").
Here's a way to spicen-up a newcomer's play and to greet them to Dark Souls. Here I have, the welcomer build. You're basically a ragged, humanity lost, soul rotten undead, ready to pounce on fresh meat. Greet the newcomers with this build by swinging your broken sword like crazy. No need to really even power your weapon and armors. Best is if you keep the broken sword up to +5 normal and armors at base (remember, you're not doing this to win all fights; main goal is to greet everyone into Dark Souls). No elementals on the broken sword... none of those ragged undead swings swag like that. You're one of them, so be one.
That also means no parry and backstabs and rolling. The roaming undead can't do that, so you shouldn't too. Swing your sword like there's no tomorrow and get the newcomers welcomed to the deep world of Dark Souls!
...but, not everyone are newcomers. You still see twinks and chicken-hawkers around low level areas, so to make sure you beat the living daylights out of them, don your most awesome element swag weapon you can carry (like a Lightning Battle Axe +5) with a decent shield and take them out while you're at it!
Again, the purpose of the build is to greet guys into Dark Souls, so be sure to invade in Undead Burg or the Undead Church area and let's make everyone enjoy this damn awesome game.
Praise the damn sun y'all!
