by IIdoneus Sat Apr 06, 2013 4:52 pmI always love hearing how people are keeping themselves busy in Co-op and PvP. What is your favorite build right now? Personally I just recently made a Paladin Leeroy toon and I am having a blast with it, despite some glaring impracticalities. I love helping people with it, but I have a personal rule to never use the two handed WoTG unless an invader or the person I am fighting is spamming Dark Magic, ridiculous pyromancy, or WoTG. So what are you doing these days, and what limitations/conditions have you placed on your build?

I've got an Ornstein/Ciaran/Silver Knight build that I use for Darkmoon invasions.
Right now I'm working on a Tarkus/Darkwraith build.

My Moonlight queen build. As always. I just get off on the rush of assassinating people and hiding in the forest.

Suprisingly, my favourite toon is probably my SL55 Dragon.
No attunement with Halberd, Estoc, and Composite Bow.

Quality builds are my favourite too. You can do so much different things with them. I have remade my quality build three times, not because i have not been happy with it, but because i always find different ways to improve it or make it slightly different than last time. The funny thing is that i'm not even that good with halberd or claymore or other typical q-build weapons. I just like to use them.The Letter X wrote:This is my favorite build and the only one I use: http://mmdks.com/1rba
Here are some setups of my current q-build:
http://mmdks.com/1rcr Basic setup
http://mmdks.com/1rcs Siegmeyer. You can do a lot of cosplays with this build. Like shiva of the east, solaire, kirk, crestfallen warrior and some others.
http://mmdks.com/1rct Dual wield. BSS + Estoc looks really nice. Sometimes i replace the estoc with any curved sword. The point is to have a weapon that can parry in off-hand.
http://mmdks.com/1rcw Murakumo or (ultra) greatsword setup.
http://mmdks.com/1rcx Bow/estoc turtle. This setup often annoys people and they usually go for backstabs against it. Gold tracer punishes bs fishers really nicely or i can counter bs with the estoc and then go for wake-up attacks with the gold tracer. Thorn armor sometimes saves me from getting backstabbed too. Also, 2-handed Estoc running attack deals really nice damage if i catch them at the end of their roll or trade hits (counter damage).
Unfortunately, at sl 100 i have to sacrifice some vit and end, so zweihander/murakumo setups are really difficult to use without green blossom. Hollow soldier waistcloth and mask of the mother would help with stacking poise/hp but i'm a bit silly and care how my characters look like. If you don't, put that mask on and make this build even more powerful!

@Fin lol Fin, revealing your secrets? Now I know how I got my arse kicked and how I'll probably get my arse kicked in near future 
And this is the best build of all: Beware!

@ Carphil - I don't mind sharing tactics. The things I mentioned are not anything that special really 
But i take that as a compliment.
However, you are mistaken. The best build is obviously this: http://mmdks.com/1rdp Pure melee logan.

Has been my favorite build for almost a year (except for the change from sl 120 to 100). My main weapons are the ones there and a GC, Zwei, Mura, Clay, halberd and regular rapier.

Tough to pick a "favorite". (I always have 10 builds that are getting used with regularity).
Two that never end up being deleted at some point are my 40/40 build; which currently looks like this: http://mmdks.com/1ret
And my Pyro/Dex build which currently looks like this: http://mmdks.com/1rew
I also have three dragons that will never be deleted:
StrengthDragon http://mmdks.com/1rez
DexDragon: http://mmdks.com/1rf2
DragonFist! : http://mmdks.com/1rf4 (Second ring slot varies a lot, Wolf for many situations, Steel Protection for GS and UGS users, Blood for katana users etc.)
My other five slots usually have a Mage, a Faith based toon, and one or two experiments/goofy/fun builds

This thing is probably the best build I've ever made. Lots of people on this forum said it doesn't have enough health or defense, but he can take a decent amount of punishment. Also, with 56 poise and fast roll getting hit isn't a big issue.
However, I wish I gave it 16 strength instead of 14. 2 more points would've given it a lot more options.
http://mmdks.com/1rg9
This build is so OP. So far it one shots every enemy in the game except bosses. I'm going to level it up to 100 later.
However, once I dueled a friend with it and died epicly. Hopefully it'll become more durable when I get some better armor.

PvP = my Velka/MLBH melee only build.
Co-Op = my Glass Cannon Mage or my Pure Pyro. Both as SL 50 and 50 int or 50 Att, respectively.

I have many builds, but my favorite its: http://mmdks.com/1rgj
More PVE oriented, but works fine for high level PVP. The GSoA its definitely underrated. It has super range and you can kite most melee fighters, even with low damage.
Others include: http://mmdks.com/1rgk , http://mmdks.com/1rgl , http://mmdks.com/1rgm , http://mmdks.com/1fg9 , http://mmdks.com/1rgn
