Notes from author

This build relies on the Thrusting Sword's counter attack damage which makes bosses a joke. 50 AR from ROB & Flynn's Ring packs a punch. 105 Agility provides 13 iFrames which makes dodging attacks significantly easier. Use a +10 Rapier until you can get your hands on the Espada Ropera. If you must use a shield then use Drangleic Shield until late game where you can get Defender's Shield from trading the Throne Defender's Soul as it is the best medium shield in the game. Replace 5 points from Vigor into Strength to allow the above shields to be used. Get the bare minimum stats to use a Rapier and prioritise 20 Endurance, then 20 Vigor, 26 Adaptability, 30 Vigor, 32 Adaptability then balance Dexterity and Vigor as needed. Delaying Dexterity until the other soft caps have been reached won't hinder you from stomping on enemies whatsoever. For trash you can replace Chloranthy Ring for Stone Ring to increase stagger damage (extremely effective against NPC invaders). For bosses Old Leo ring is a must. Gold Pine Resin is the best augment for this build and most enemies. If you want to go above 120 SL then just put points into Faith and Attunement (for 2 slots) so you can use Sacred Oath.
