Notes from author
This is the ultimate backstab fisher. This build benefits from critical damage and ninjaflipping. If you can get into position for a backstab or even riposte, you are basically the winner. With 24 poise you can stand the hits of the smaller weapons, but you will need to be careful. Because of it, you have the Dark Wood Grain Ring. If you by any bad luck fail to OHKO someone, just use the rapier's poking ability and finish him. Mask of the Child for better stamina regeneration too, when it tight situations.
