Need new build ideas.
What's your favorite build to play with? Something different. Not the ever so common katana buff dex build. Something fun to play with that's viable.

Re: Need new build ideas.
I have been having great fun RPing a Stone Knight SL55. Fat rolling, massive poise, slow (ish) weapon, and awesome shield. It's really great fun.
Next to try is full Havels with the Dragon Greatsword as I haven't used that weapon since I left PS3 when the DLC dropped.
Time to revisit an old friend
Give the high poise, fat rolling ultra weapon build a go if you've never used one before, it's a good change.
You'll get a lot of BS fishers though, and the skilled guys will parry you blind, but crushing someone into the ground is mega fun

Re: Need new build ideas.
My personal favorite build is full dragon form, with just your dragon claws and maybe some pyromancies. You'll need a lot of dragon scales to get the Dragon Torso Stone (and way more if you want to get to +3 in the covenant). So, you'll either have to farm drakes for a day or two, or dragon-eye duel for a LONG time.
Keep Str and Dex near base levels. Maybe put a few levels in attunement if you want pyromancies. Take Vit/End to 50/40, and any levels you want after that (to get up to 100, 120 or whatever) just dump into Resistance. Or you could take it a more magical direction. Instead of any resistance, add some intelligence or faith.
With no weapons or armor you'll obviously fast roll, and you will definitely need it. But, your unarmed claw attack is pretty strong and your roll attack is a quick headbutt.

A strength build that's less tanky but fast rolls! Now featuring the totally over nerfed BKGA

So over nerfed
That looks fun, makes me wish I had more character slots to make it.

I've never even thought of this. Is it even viable? Whenever i see someone in full dragon form right away i figure they're tryin to pull some bull shiz. Like "oh i'm just a dragon don't mind me, BOOM! DARK BEAD TO DA FACE." Somethin stupid like that.

Haha, dragons do seem to be known for questionable tactics. But, I don't do any of that and I do alright in PVP. Definitely viable. Keep the wolf ring on against people with light/medium weapons, and switch to Steel Protection against anyone whose weapons will stagger you anyway. People with big slow weapons are super easy with a build this light and fast anyway.
You can use weapons, or use a shield in your offhand for more defense, but people never expect to lose against someone with nothing in either hand. It makes for some fun and satisfying duels.
I imagine it would be a difficult build against groups, though, unless you spam the roar ability. And that's almost as bad as WoG spamming. Really more of a dueling build than anti-ganker.

Re: Need new build ideas.
It sounds fun. Probably better at lower levels. Pretty much all i do is duel in the burg so i'd like to get out of that rut and try something new.

You think THAT will get you hate mail? As a long-time hardcore griefer, this is my favorite build for hatemail.

Poison. Plague. Roll. Shotel R2 for turtlers. Bandit knife for healers.

This one might have hit the money. Haven't done much griefing. Have anything worse than that?

Build-wise? No.
I've made a tank that used a gravelord greatsword, greatshield, and a ricards rapier(with poison resin). I'd poison/toxin them and then just slowly keep the pressure on them and wait for them to die.
Invisible, low level assassins that kill people in one hit.
The use of chameleon, and soul spear.
I've hosted in the forest and cast homing crystal soul mass, put an item nearby and used chameleon. People would invade, walk up to the item to grab it and then get killed(since they can't see homing soulmass/pursuers if it was cast before they entered the world).
I've put an item near a ledge and then camped with a dragonslayer bow to knock them off when they get it.
You can camp at the end of one of those narrow walkways in Sen's fortress or the top part of the painting guardian church with a dragon greatsword.
You can invade in the beginning of Anor Londo, wait for them to lower the elevator shortcut, then raise it back up before killing them.
You can camp near a boss door and then backstab them right as they're about to enter it(You can attack them for a good half a second after they reach the fog door)
It's all about using the weapons and the environment really. Just keep in mind a couple rules for griefing: Oh. And I suggest you check out Red Rosie on YouTube. She's come up with some genius ways to grief.
1.) It's better if cause long-lasting(wasting their time) or permanent(killing an NPC) damage.
2.) It's better if you don't fight them directly
