Recommended equipment	Here is a list of weapons that you should be using if you follow the build and I'll be listing them in priority in which I think they are needed. Please note that you can't use these all at the same time and you may need to mix and match these to suit YOUR OWN needs. Recommended Equipment RH: Slot One +5 Dragon Bone Smasher I'll refer to it as DBS +5 Crushing Great Axe (Probobly your best choice if you like to roll strike. Always good to have one) +5 Crushing Claymore Yet again I don't use it too much but from the battles I HAVE used it in it was very effective. Meat Cleaver I don't use this for pvp because I think the DBS (Dragon Bone Smasher) and great axe are better weapons, but I know a lot of people use the cleaver to so I'll put it in the list for those guys. Slot Two This is where you can put whatever back-up item you wish to use but this is what I use and find useful when backed into a corner. +5 Crushing Mirdan Hammer Yes, the infamous n00b stick. It definitely gets the job done when it needs to. +5 Crushing Guillotine Axe Good for non-n00b stick stunlocking and DEATH LH: Slot One The left hand is typically for trinkets or shields or whatever else you may want so here are my recommendations. +5 Adjudicator's Shield Regains health pretty quickly when at level 5. I usually don't block with it but have it on my back for it's health regeneration. +5 Dark Silver Shield This is for blocking or parrying attacks because it blocks all weapon damage. It also blocks all magic so it's useful against mage builds. Slot Two Feel free to use whatever talisman you want but the talisman of beasts is the easiest to cast both your SC (Second Chance) and Curse Weapon. Since this build can't use Talisman of Beasts efectively, it decreases the damage that Cursed Weapon deals on yourself. Thats a good thing! Talisman of Beasts Armor This is a strength build so you're probobly going to be weilding some pretty heavy weapons so light armor will probobly be your best choice. Mix and match any armor sets that will allow you to roll with ALL your equiped weapons or trinkets. The current armor I'm using is listed below. With DBS Head - Assassain's Mask (Both) Chest - Rogue's Clothes (Female)/ Black Leather (Male) Arms - Rogue's Gloves (Female)/ Black Gloves (Male) Legs - Rogue's Boots (Female)/ Black Boots (Male) Without DBS Head - Binded Hood (Female)/ Ancient King's Mask (Male) Chest - Binded Cross (Female)/ Ancient King's Breastplate (Male) Arms - Binded Gloves (Female)/ Ancient King's Gauntlets (Male) Legs - Binded Boots (Female)/Ancient King's Leggings (Male) I play a female character and I'm not sure what works for Males. I think your best bet is a mix of Ancient King's Armor and Black Leather If not using DBS. If you use DBS you are strictly limited to the Black Leather set. As for Female you should use the Binded Cross set so you don't hurt your stamina regeneration rate too bad. Rings Soul Form - Cling Ring, Foe's Ring or Friend's Ring Body Form - Eternal Warrior's Ring, Clever Rat's Ring Items Dark Moon Grass Old Spice Sticky White Stuff / Black Turpentine Sticky White Stuff deals slightly less damage but lasts longer, and Black Turpentine deals more damage and lasts shorter. These are used when your Cursed Weapon runs out of time.
Recommended spells/miracles	Spells Cursed Weapon (To buff your weapon at the beginning of a duel) Second Chance (Self explanatory) As soon as you're summoned, invaded, or invading you're going to want to cast Second Chance as soon as possible. Take an Old Spice to regain your MP (mana points). After bowing or when the fight is about to begin cast Cursed Weapon and take another Old Spice (This will set you up for the next fight or if you want to use Cursed Weapon again once it's run out. It's optional though because it's risky in combat. You may also wanna cast Sticky White Stuff or Black Turpentine if run out of MP.
Gameplay tips and progression	Progression If you follow my instructions you can meet my build's stats in little over 30 minutes! Getting weapons and completing the game (to get beast demon's soul and the Red Soul Sign) may take about and hour or two more time depending on if you're still a novice or are an experienced player. Let's get started! After you customize your character and create your Temple Knight you will have the choice to go to the nexus or complete the tutorial. Novices will want to take the tutorial for the grass. Whether you completed the tutorial or just started the game, go to Boletarian Palace. You don't need to save Ostrava, of Boletaria but you can if you want his telescope or other goodies. Continue through the level skipping all the monsters possible if you're experienced. Novices should kill all the creatures to progress through Boletaria. Be sure to pick up some Firebombs and Turpentine to kill phalanx faster. Once phalanx is dead head back to the nexus and talk to The Monumental and accept his mission. You need to accept the mission if you want Friend's Ring.

this is just a repeat of the normal strength build…? :/ -1 because it's not at all original in it's design. You would also benefit from using a priest because you don't need dex for anything. The polearm is very easy to parry, so i would just recommend the claymore, guillaxe, or knight's sword.

That's because it's NOT FINISHED YET…This was a rough rough draft and I intend to do much more work on it as soon as I'm off vacation. I urge you to take back your vote until I can begin actually working on it.

Nice in-progress design, the only thing I'd say is to cap Str at a max of 66 unless you want more damage when one-handing weapons; two-handed damage caps at 66. You probably knew that though :p I'll stop bugging you lol… So far so good as far as the framework, can't wait till it's finished.

Thanks

Thanks for the tips! I'm sort of new to the game so I'm trying to get all the help I can!
