True Gravelord build (RP-ish)?

Feel like some RP yet making an effective build at the same time but don't know what "path" to choose on this.

Requirements: Gravelord Sword, Gravelord (Great)sword dance miracle(s)

Any help with this?

Since you are one of Nito's followers, you should focus more on unleashing a miasma of death and disease. Have some toxic mist and poison mist. Have a DST as well. WoG is also good (since Nito has a similar spell).

You'll want to start with cleric.

You'll want high faith, and about 4 or 5 attunement slots.

This is how I'd do it. http://mmdks.com/2npy

Here is a slight variation on my Forest hunter build.https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=273696512525186244

Dark hand, 55 poise, fast roll, 120 http://mmdks.com/2nrf
Balder shield, 30 poise, aesthetics based, 130 http://mmdks.com/2nrg
78 poise, midroll, great shield, high faith, 130 http://mmdks.com/2nrh

The level 130 because I assume you will mainly just be gravelording.

I hate double posting, but your text is nigh impossible to read if someone is on their phone and their brightness isn't fully up. It is not too much a problem for the majority but I suggest a slight tone down in color.

Why are you wasting so many points in Dex? The GLS has double E scaling, and therefore putting any amount of extra points in Dex or Strength is virtually useless compared to where else you could put them. Personally, I think that a Gravelord build is most effective at level 55 or around that, as the GLS will out-damage most all elemental weapons, rather than being hopelessly outclassed at higher levels by other weapons.

Here is something I came up with: http://mmdks.com/2nsj

Granted; a level 55 build prevents you from having as dedicated of a Gravelord build you might want.

This is a more intersting 125 build I whipped up; http://mmdks.com/2nsv
According to a friend of mine; the curved greatswords are good in offhand, so that's where I put the GLS, as it has good poisebreak and supplements the faster BSS. I used TWoP so you could actually land the GLGSD miracle on people and make them fear Nito's blades. The armor is a bit of a mish mash that I figured would fit the theme well enough, while maintaining fast roll and granting 40 poise, though I'm sure there's a better combination somewhere. WoG is there for RP purposes and utility.
