Notes from author
Weapons:
Main weapons I use are (all chaos unless they can't) Claymore, Flamberge, Quelaag's Furysword, Uchigatana, Demon's Spear, Shotel, Rapier, Dagger. Can also 2h Zweihander and still fast-roll.
Armor:
Mask of the Mother for the increase in HP. Gauntlets of Thorns for the roll-damage against no-poise builds. Knight Armor and Hollow Soldier Waistcloth for lowest weight to reach 36 poise.
Rings:
RoFaP for its increase to HP/Stamina/Equip load. Free ring slot for DWGR/RTSR/Wolf Ring/Hornet Ring.
Poise:
Enough to take 2hr1 katana/Falchion and 1hr1 greatswords, can also be paired with Wolf Ring to take 2hr1 ultra greatswords.
Stats:
Vitality:
Dump for the rest of my points.
Attunement:
Enough for one spell slot, usually for Great Combustion.
Endurance:
Min/maxed for the armor and weapons.
Strength:
Enough to 2h Zweihander and 1h everything else I use.
Dexterity:
Enough to use Shotel, I like to keep it as backup for turtles.
