A simple character with a Bandit's knife and Grass crest shield. The armor is best with 40 endurance and the two items. Use a ring of favor and protection and with a dark wood grain ring for that easy dodge. Invade people and increase damage with gold pine resin, and just keep hitting to bleed them. If the enemy is using a shield that KB's you, then use two-hands to hit them for bleeding damage. The armor is based on physical defenses just in case a heavy hitter hits you or hits your shield and as you don't need the other resists unless you don't know how to dodge non-physical attacks. Poise is not needed as this is mainly a dodge and strike build. Perfect for Darkroot Garden.
