Notes from author
The Grand-Blade is a build that is focused on the look of the build and optimizing some strenght so it has a chance against the more professional players. This SL60 gives a serious beatdown to anyone who happens to lower their guard. (Do note that the Iron round-shield does not deflect in PVP, unfortunately.)
Optional: Switch Black Flame to Iron Flesh if you want to drive your enemies through a garden hose of pain, slowly.
Recommended items on your hotbar:
-Humanity
-Lloyd's Talisman
-Charcoal Pine Resin (For that look)
(If you switch the Charcoal to Rotten Pine Resin, add in Dung pies to your hotbar and some blooming purple moss, just in case.)
