this is a build primarily for murakumo with pyro as support.
main issue: i want a thrusting weapon as a backup. with the inclusion of a backup weapon though, i need 0.3 more weight to replace the heater shield for crest shield. i would prefer the crest shield since i already have low magic defense with the dusk crown. i feel that any chestpiece lighter than tattered cloth robe (2.7 i believe) looks hideous.
is there a good pvp weapon lighter than the rapier? should i just suck it up and learn to dodge and keep the heater shield? look dumb with the sorcerer's robe? all suggestions are appreciated!

Your build is fine, just learn to dodge magic and I'm sure you will win more than a few matches.

You won't switch out the chestpiece but you'll keep the waistcloth? That's... puzzling.

Anyway, that would be the easiest way for you to get your Crest shield, swap out a lighter chestpiece. If not, take some points off VIT and put it into END. You're so close, it would be so slight what you'd lose in life.

But... but... but... All the cool kids use the Hollow Warrior Waistcloth... It looks so good and makes such a huge difference.

im only 0.3 away from the crest shield, but i guess im just gonna suck it up and dodge the casters. besides i see more pyros than mages, and the heater shield is strong against fire, so...
yes, i like tattered cloth robe cause it can cover than stupid looking waistcloth hehe

Just the word "dentist" gives me goosebumps.

you could try the warrior's round shield and upgrade it along the magic path.

alternately, you could also try the dark hand. it blocks magic, lightning and fire surprisingly well. plus it has that swag factor.
