Notes from author
The set up seen is for boss fights. for running around replace weapon with black knight great axe. replace crest shield with black knight shield. replace pyromancy flame with the black bow of pharis. those worried about the spells, yes they do stack on each other, and power within's negative effect is massively reduced because the bellowing dragon crest ring spreads the damage over 150 seconds instead of 100 seconds. the armor is chosen because it gives very high defence on top of some very high resistance to everything. royal helm is for killing vilifor in the catacombs. giant armor is sold by the giant black smith in anor londo. paladin gauntlets are in nitos chamber, after you kill him quit and reload and the paladin set will be on a corpse. xanthous waistcloth is picked up in the painting world after you kill precilla. the reason the build stop at 166 is because thats when i feel its the most solid. the build is open for tweaking depending on how high you want to level or how low. the only necessary stat is endurance unless you swap the bellowing dragoncrest ring for havel or dont mind the fat roll. enjoy, and leave me feedback and questions about the build
