Notes from author
Artorias roll play build, as Artorias after being corrupted by the abyss.
Being proficient with mid roll speed highly recommended, use dark hand to block spells, and perform setup parries only.
pyromancy flame in left hand for two reasons.
1) with the dark hand in the same hand, its harder to distinguish what you are using in your left hand
2) allows you to have both the pyromancy flame and weapon out at the same time, making your attack less predictable.
dragonslayer bow used instead of gough's bow because gough's bow weighs too much, and this is an artorias roll play build, he wouldn't be using gough's bow now would he?!
