Soul Level 70 [Bandit/Cleric]
Can be taken to SL100 under one of three variants defined primarily by ring choice.
SL100 variants are displayed as such:
SL100 Variant [Letter] - [Ring Combo]
[Changed Stats from the SL70 Base]
[Notes on the variant].
==========
SL100 Variant A - Havel's/Leo
39 VIT, 14 ATT, 40 END, 30 FAI.
30 FAI provides access to Sunlight Blade and Great Lightning Spear, third slot is optional but Great Heal or Great Magic Barrier are both prime choices.
==========
SL100 Variant B - Favor/Leo
14 ATT, 52 END, 30 FAI
52 END required to midroll with Ring of Favor and Protection. Provides 1201 Health compared to Variant A's 1304 but does give some extra stamina because of the Favor ring. Miracles are as they were in Variant A.
==========
SL100 Variant C - Havel's/Favor
39 VIT, 14 ATT, 40 END, 30 FAI.
Loss of Leo ring is offset by the health/stamina gain. 1564 Health compared to 1304 in variant A, whether this enables the player to survive certain backstabs/ripostes is debatable but this would be the preferred layout for some players.
==========
Other than the variants included above there are other ways to direct the build to SL100.
A lesser faith variant (24 FAI) would lose access to Sunlight Blade and Great Lightning Spear but would still be able to use Lightning Spear and Great Heal. With 1424 Health at 45 VIT (Havel/Leo) the trade in stats would be quite direct.
A 40 STR variant would provide more power for the Greatsword at the cost of losing a certain degree of health depending on the rings used.
Moving away from the Solaire/Tarkus Fusion, a semi-Quality build can be achieved at SL100 using a different weapon set and markedly different armour.
