Class Explaination 

The purpose of this class is to exploit your self like one of Havel's Knights with the bite of the Everlast Dragons. 

With high defense, agility, powerful attacks, fire damage, and the unique ability to turn your self into a dragon in the end for your own purposeful gains you will become an agile tanking machine. 

I've been playing this through my self and I've yet to come across something that has severely hindered this build, this includes Smough and Ornstein, they are beatable, simply for pyromancy and heavy defense. Armor choices and weapon choices are scaled to the soul levels and points of the game necessary for their usefulness. Optional items are ones I deemed so because i picked them up on my travels, used them, and then soon replaced them because of a required item I felt suited the build more. 

When it comes to using shields, this was a hard decision on my part as shields are as useful as the situation that their resistances are valuable for. Overall I have ran through the game from after the Gaping Dragon and on with the Crystal Shield, note that if it was not for it being unrepairable, it would be exclusive to the build, but until I test further with this build I will not state what shields to use, only to suggest selecting shields that reflect positive on the battles you are currently facing.I am currently looking at the Black Knight Shield, which is relatively close to the crystal shield, if not better once upgraded. 

Advantages: High Defense. High Attacks. Pyromancy. Agile. Ability to heal. 

Disadvantages: Limited Ranged Weapon Selection. Medium Hit Points. Medium Endurance. Low resistance increase. 

Most of the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for this build. It is actually a build that will improve your swordplay skills, rather than requiring on ranged. Using tactical advantages of medium ranged pyro spells, close combat pyro spells, and some defensive pyro spells you can become more of a tank and a higher threat to enemies. Causing you to be able to take out mini boss creatures and many other bosses with little to no necessary healing. Without practicing and feeling for the quick combat style reflexes this build requires, you will inevitably fall to the enemies. The biggest tip I can provide when playing this class, is to take your time with every move you make.as it could easily be your last if you are not paying attention. 

Rings are a valuable asset to this character, when it comes to the situation at hand be sure to alter what you wear, you'll most likely need the Havel's Ring to even begin to wear Havel's Armor. The Rusted Iron Ring will allow you to traverse lower Blighttown with ease in the Gold-Hemmed Black Armor. And if you choose to wield heavier weapons and shields, using the wolf ring is always good for the extra 40 poise it grants. 

if I start a NG+ I will go on to explaining the values past level 100, but for now there is no Meta Game information on this build. 
Level Stats 

NOTE: Faith stat is raised to 12 for the ability to cast the heal miracle which works both in PvE and PvP. Attunement stat is raised to allow pyromancies to be added to the build for high damage with low stats. 

Covenants 

This class starts with Covenant of the White. Use this for now until you need to battle Sif. 

Your second will be the Covenant of the Forest Hunter. This will allow easier access to Sif during blood stain runs back, otherwise it is completely optional. 

Your third will be the Covenant of the Chaos Servant. This will allow you to upgrade your pyromancy skills to +15 through the egg burdened servant before Spider Witch. She will allow you to access estus flask upgrades when Firelink Shrine's Fire Keeper is murdered by Lautrec, your first pyromancer trainer and until you reach the first bonfire of Anor Londo. You should take advantage of all pyromancy spells that Quelana of Izalith will provide you in Blighttown before leaving covenant. 

Your fourth will be the Covenant of the Path of the Dragon. This is a completely optional covenant, but for pyromancy sake and the timely usefulness of the dragon items they provide you, mind it is a lot of work to acquire dragon scales so it will require a lot of online invasions on your part, it is almost expected as the final covenant. It will also grant you access to the Dragon Greatsword, which is inevitably your final weapon for this build. It should be noted that the heavy attack will cause the weapon durability loss that will cost 800 souls per use, it is not recommended to be used often, unless you have the souls to fix this tool of destruction.
