Competitive pvp builds

A friend of mine started paying Dark Souls and asked me to make him a decent pvp build, i ofc went overboard & made him a list of my favorite PvP builds.

These are nothing new but i find them to be great competitive pvp builds worthy of any PvP event (like the Fight club).
Also if someone is looking for a new PvP build they havent tried before maybe some of these will be just what they were looking for.

All are in the desired PvP Sl (105-125) with a little tweak here & there depending on idividual playstile.

I know these is a list of PvP builds on the Wiki board but i thought we could have one here.

Those builds are the basic PvP builds for anyone who wants to start PvP in Dark Souls. They are very nice and reliable. I realize the other day 40 Vit was the minimum for PvP indeed. I was making low Vit builds, but when I got to 40 in one of my toons it was so comfortable. I survived most backstabs, but that means I have yet to become a better player and get out of that comfort zone (so I don't have to rely on Vit, but on my skills).

I likely still won't. I always have 0-15 poise, so since I get stunlocked easily, I just avoid getting hit. I've killed players with up to 2700 HP before, and I win 75% of my 3 vs 1's.... yet I've never seen a point to having so much HP.

well thats even more challenche to join us!
so we all can test our skills on eachoter?dont see why not?
i almost never wins in 3 vs 1 but in FC tings turns an you will get better and its soooo fun!

The point is to not die in 1 hit because of 1 mistake. Its a matter of mathematical efficiency, If you can build to survive the hit, without losing power, why would you not?

Everyone tries not to get hit much, I'll eat my hat if even half of the swings taken in pvp situations hit their target, the health is to survive the inevitable hits you will eventually take. By your logic you don't understand the point of body armor in a fire fight.

I myself am trying to make most builds have 50 VIT but i start grinding my teeth when i realize i can't make a decent build for sl 120 with such a huge VIT investment.

So i started to drop END & it's actually working out great for me, you just need to menage your stamina better & learn to live without huge Poise which i never rly have.

Wow who downvoted Rynn for just showing her skills? Is that bad? This is a friendly zone talking about pvp playstyles don't be mean if you are getting the impression she is showing-off, she's just telling us how talented she is than most of us. Heck I thought 30 was the minimum. Lol so is the new meta 40 now? That's shocking for me now >.<...
