Hyper Knight [Stone Statue Cosplay Build.]

Movement for you won't be an issue as you can cast twop infinitely. If you add health, equip burden, stamina and poise I feel you could better cosplay the knights as well as be more effective in pvp.

Also the dexterity was unnecessary. Try this build on for size. http://tinyurl.com/7u2plra
Also dex needs an extra point for that to work. I made a dumb dumb.

The main thing you should worry about isn't being slower, its backstabs which you can counter with the swords twop. The medium roll is more than capable of dodging soul spears at medium range, plus if you're hosting you'll have the advantage as far as lag and the soul spears go.

ErrJon6661 wrote:Just practice dude. Seriously, any build will be good in pvp as long as it has a focus, nothing says you can't use a slow roll speed.

ErrJon6661 wrote:Personally I hate twop, if someone casts it I run, spam arrows and get ready to be a poor sport and preform a pivot, because twop is usually followed by wog.

Now, in reality, its a spell provided by the game that is usable for pvp. Use it. Anything goes in pvp.

I'm sitting hear reading all about how you're afraid you won't be able to take the punishment if you're slow rolling, but you have one of the most powerful shields in the game. You don't need to be able to roll when you can block around 85% of all incoming damage. By the time they've exhausted their Great Combustions/Soul Spears/WoGs you'll still be up and running with 66%-75% of your HP in some of the most defensivly powerful armor in the game. It's called a tank build for a reason!

Anyway, here's what I would recommend. Take down the End all the way to 30 and swap out the Havel's Ring for the Ring of Favor and Protection. This will give you just enough equip load to fat roll, as well as putting your stamina right around where it would be if you had 40 End without the Ring of Favor and Protection. Pump up your Dex a bit to 40 to max out your physical scalings on the sword, and dump the rest into Vit for even more tankiness. Some other tweaks that you could change up would be to take away from Vit and pump End to 40 for greater stamina and slightly better stamina regen. Another thing is that while I put the Cloranthy Ring as the second ring slot to help prevent stamina starving yourself, for even greater tanking power the Wolf Ring, Ring of Steel Protection, any of the Stoneplate rings, or even the Blue Tearstone Ring would work if you have good stamina management skills.

Bottom line, don't put so much importance on flipping and rolling. You're taking a build that uses some of the most powerful armor and shield in the game. In all that gear you can actually afford to block or even take an extra hit or two. The fat roll does in fact have invincibility frames (just only at the very start of it) so if you get someone who spams Soul Spears you can still avoid them from a distance between blocking with good timing. Anyway, that's probably more than my two cents, hope it helps some.
