Notes from Author
This build is an Artorias cosplay build. The Wolf Knight Greatsword is one of the best Greatsword class weapons, and the Wolf Knight Greatshield has a wonderful Stability:Weight ratio (and boosts resistances by 100). Since the sword scales fairly well with both Strength and Dex, it's essentially a basic quality build.
My main variants include using Havel's Ring +2, and/or switching from the Wolf Knight Greatshield to the Grass Crest Shield. This allows a reduction in Vitality, and I spend the extra points in Vigor. When using Havel's, I usually see the most success in replacing the Knight Slayer's Ring. However, the build as listed usually sees more success than its variants.
I do not use the Wolf Ring, because poise does not seem to have any effect in-game.
