Notes from author
----General introduction----
A fairly low level tank build with decent damage and great defense against physical dmg and also has a miracle to counter casters. This build also has a high amount of poise.
But the biggest disadvantage is mobility, with this specific build you are only able to fat roll. (You can change the rings and tweak the build to your own liking of course).
This is designed for PvP and I recommend to ask a friend to help you get all the required stuff. List below.
----Souls needed (overall)----
- 706 000 souls (this includes: lvl ups, twinkling titanites bought from the giant blacksmith [for the giant armor set], Thorolund talisman, Karmic justice). I recommend using the boss soul glitch to save time.
- You also need some souls for the upgrades and titanite shards/large titanite shards
----Usage----
- You will most times be able to tank through any attacks that are thrown at you.
- If against a caster you can use the Great magic barrier and rush them. (Beware of your low stamina)
- Karmic justice is just for that extra damage, use when hidden so you can catch your opponent off-guard (Remember the 1 min duration).
- A semi-high stability shield for blocking attacks.
- A Lightning Zweihander +5 for semi-heavy dmg against most people.
- There is a sweet spot between aggressiveness and cautiousness that you should have with this build. Try to find that sweet spot for maximum effectiveness.
(I do recommend to have 20 estus and max upgraded estus for maximium hp and lifetime, obviously).
----Extra comments----
Again, you can tweak this build to your own liking, like the rings or spells for more protection or mobility.
