Notes from author
A quality pyro build focused on 6 units and under weapons (Claymore, Halberd, Gargoyle's Halberd, Lucerne... pretty much all the best weapons) with a free ring slot and a dose of fashion.
Keep the dagger handy. It's light, fast, has very good R2's and will fuck someone's day if you get a crit on them.
The elite knight helm and the collar of Chester's coat work beautifully together.
The leather gauntlets let you get some poise and keep the coat's sleeves down unlike other gauntlets.
The guardian leggings are the right shade of brown to go with the rest of the set and provide excellent poise.
All together you get 36 poise, enough for a 1HR1 of a greatsword class weapon and with the Wolf ring, enough for a 2HR2 of an ultra greatsword.
The defense rating is pretty okay too.
The pyromancies are pretty standard for a pvp build and will serve you well.
The free ring slot opens up A LOT of possibilities and makes the build incredibly versatile. Don't be afraid to experiment and hotswap rings depending on the situation.
Overall a really solid build that will not fail you any time soon.
