Build Strategy

Control the darkness!
Take down your targets!
Teach them to fear the Dark Casters!
Unfortunately this build requires DLC equipment
Spells:Pursuers(2) Dark Bead and Crystal Magic Weapon.
Don't be afraid to get up close and personal with the Dark Sword
Hit them before they hit you!

We are Dark Casters, we fight to kill no longer bound by the luxury of "Honor Codes"
We take joy in watching our opponents fall time and time again.
Control all Humanity, take it for the darkness.
We are Dark Casters.
Masters of the shadows.
You are not bound by honor, therefore anything goes. BUT~ there is a difference between anything goes and being a jerk. With that out of the way...
Cast your Crystal Magic Weapon if you're going to use the DarkSword and keep Pursuers if you need to distract your opponent. I myself, personally prefer to have Pursuers fire off and while your opponent is distracted with blocking they're wide open to backstabs or a few hits.
Save that Dark Bead if you need some range or a moment to breathe, or just a chance to crush a turtle.
Use Velka's Rapier to keep some range and get a few pokes in, the backstab/riposte damage with Velka's Rapier seems to skyrocket.
Leave no weaknesses unexploited, punish your foes for their mistakes.
