Notes from author
A cosplay of the Iron Golem of Sen's Fortress. For the purposes of leveling, dump points into strength right off the bat and distribute into endurance and vitality subsequently. Dexterity assists with pyromancy cast speed (Iron Flesh) and the over-all damage of the weapon itself. Havel's Ring allows for a higher equip load and a mid-roll while the Wolf Ring ensures that you will not be stun-locked. Wolf Ring is optional and can be replaced with another ring of your liking (I recommend either RoDFaP, for increased vitality and stamina, or the Cloranthy Ring, for stamina regen). The strategy behind this build entails high defense and decent close-ranged combat. Medium to long range combat (such as fleeing opponents or casters) can be achieved with the strong attack which emits a shock wave, causing magic damage on impact and a knockback effect similar to the miracles Force, Wrath of the Gods, or Emit Force. Iron Flesh should only be used against opponents who are not using a lightning weapon, for you take increased damage from lightning sources while under the effects of Iron Flesh.
