Notes from author
This build is both for myself and sharing for new players who will join in the Remaster. It's a take on an old build I made, and the sole purpose is a build that can use almost every weapon in the game with maximum efficiency. Unless you have a vendetta against high level builds, this is a build at least everyone should have pocketed down, simply for the flexibility of it without sacrificing any stats save for magic-based ones. As for armor and weapon set-up, that's a personal custom geared for just above the 61 poise threshold, which can let you tank all but the heaviest of attacks. The armor combinations you can come up with are near limitless, so it's best to just use your own imagination with this build and stick to whatever you're most comfortable with. In High level play you should be comfortable with quick-swapping your weapons on the fly using your menu so as to be ready for any occasion, PVE or PVP. What weapons you use are, again, up to you. Sky's the limit with a build like this, unless there's an int/faith requirement.
