Notes from author
-You can use Grass Crest Shield instead of Silver Knight one.
-Main weapon will be either Lifehunt Scythe, Iaito/Uchigatana+15, or Great Scythe (Chaos+5 or Normal+15), or Rapier+15
-Switch Fire Whip with Crystal Magic Weapon if a normal weapon is used instead.
-You can subtract a few points out of vitality to achieve fastest dex casting speed but keep int at 36 to use Soul Spear.
-Fire Tempest is to protect yourself and phantoms from backstabs. Coupled with the fast casting speed, this will be really useful along with using Fire Whip.
-If you want to keep with the whole Death mood, use a Great Scythe(Normal+15 or Chaos+5 with 10 humanity) and Ring of Fog or Wolf Ring for the 40 poise, and change all spells for the Dark ones.
-Lloyd's Talisman is to stop the invaded from healing so it's a fight to the death if you don't use humanity. Silver Pendant is to deflect any Dark sorceries in case you find a Dark Bead spammer.
