Build Strategy

Notes
1. You have room to swap your Target Shield for a shield weighing 3.0 or less (Grass, Crest, Bloodbite, etc). So, you can quick adjust as needed based on your opponent's build
2. Second ring slot. Have a variety on hand. Custom tailor it to what weapons you want to play (Lifehunt = bloodbite, Great Club = Havel's, Red Tearstone/Blue Tearstone, Cloranthy, etc)

Pros
1. Very versatile. You can use virtually any strength or dex weapons at their max AR. This is because you get hit hard with diminishing returns for str of dex above 40, and many weapons have both strength and dex bonuses.
2. +15 at this level is stronger than virtually any elemental weapon.
3. 56 poise will allow you to avoid stunlock fro greatswords and below.

Cons
1. No powerful buff. Use fire or poison buff (I prefer poison). So, that is the main limitation.
2. No magic/miracles/pyros. This build is for melee fighters only.
