Notes from author
This is my first build, you don't have to use it but I would like to think it's decent. If you want to fast roll all you have to do is equip havel's ring but the poise is there for a reason. (unless your godly at dodging or good at parries) I use Murakumo cause I don't' need much strength to wield it in two hands plus with darkmoon blade miracle this blade is unstoppable. For a good one handed weapon I use silver knight blade, just cause it has gotten me through almost the entire game and if you want to switch it up. If you use one handed I recommend crest shield it's light, magic resistant, and blocks pretty well. Try not to block a lot as some attacks or magic may take up whole bar (try to parry or wait for an opening). Use great magic barrier if you get those people that like to spam magic (force, pyro, dark magic, etc.) Other than that if you want to change any of the weapons or magic feel free too. Be careful of backstabbers they take every opportunity they can get, also if you were to parry someone or back stab them it would be fatal. Any dex weapon will work and like I said just have fun and good luck. If your one of those people who like katanas this build also works( I've also have done decent in arena with this build, but like I said BE CAREFUL there are chances if you get critical hit, back stabbed or parried you may die)
