Gameplay tips and progression	First of all I'll explain the stats: 50 VIT: Standard for PvP 18 INT: 3 Spell Slot option to add Poison Cloud with LW. Otherwise leave at 14 and wear Silver Coronet 26-28 END: This is all you really need to effectively use Daggers and Estoc 10 STR: 1 point above Royal Default. You need this to 2H a Kilij. If you are not using a kilij, STR can be left at 9 and used elsewhere 48-50 DEX: Self Explanitory 30 MAG: LW returns diminish beyond this 16 FTH: For SC 7 LCK: Don't see a need to explain this Pro's: 1. LW Daggers demolishes Warding Users. 2. Very fast weapons, gives you speed advantage over most other builds. 3. Great harrassing capabilities. 4. Multiple lethal combos. BS's and ripostes will instantly crack SC on any build 50 VIT or less with LW active. Con's: 1. Big Melee Range disadvantage 2. Lack of versatilty on melee weapon choices 3. Lots of farming required (especially for Pure Bladestone) unless you find a duping partner.

this is not a spellsword, it is a light weapon dex build and should be marked as such. The iCat significantly diminishes your mana (1/2), so using spells is a bit ridiculous when you can add the extra 9 points into dex or end. More damage/stamina is better for a LW build anyway because it can mean the difference between a win and a loss in a number of situations. The sharp estoc and kilij would be very valuable weapons for this kind of build, so consider them as well.

To all: I scrapped the original build and revamped it. Any new comments are welcome

OK I have a similar one and it can be crazy good sometimes. Here are my thoughts.
1. With those stats, consider using a shotel with LW as it will help you with turtles.
2.Leave int at 15 for so you can cast LW and SC. With the 50% reduction it would be a waste to go up to 18.
3.Consider using an estoc to parry instead of bucker since it barely looks like its parying but it does.
4. I would have endurance ranging from 30 to 35 at least. WIth the estoc you will be wanting to spam pokes and rolling pokes. With dagger you want to be rolling all over and combo chaining, at least 30 for that. Take these points from Vit, which should be enough with 47 or 45.
5. If you are decent with backstabbing, sometimes use a fatal secret dagger after LW is off.
6. With claws, abuse the push combo. Its crazy hard to get them to it but it will kill . its more of a headbutt than a push but it will do around 2300 damage or so, enough to crack sc and finish off with the rest.
