What setup do you use?

I vary a lot, but i prefer a mix of Med and heavy armour with some light armour headpiece for fun and weapons depend on class, though i usually lean more towards Dexterity than Strength weapons.

Maybe using a shield, maybe having grass shield on my back depends how i feel to be honest

for pvp i wear a mix of light and heavy armor cause my demon great machete weights so damn much. i always wear light armor for pve with the msgs.

I have been rocking Black Iron Armor, varying shields (but most often either Sanctus or Grass Crest on my back) and I am switching between Grant +5 and Chaos +5 Great Scythe.

I switch between these two to keep the Fight Club kids on their toes because they are so different. I might bring out my Dragon Great Axe next!

Dual weapons all the time, pve and pvp. Mix of med/heavy armor, always havels gloves and legs. Finish it off with a sack on top.

Dual weapons with a catalyst and a talisman in my backup slots. Black iron chest, black iron arms, Solaire's legs, and a dusk crown. In the past, I've done dual rapiers, and one toon used a shield (heater shield for the fast parry, but I kind of sucked at parrying, so that didn't last).

Lately I've been ditching the armor and going for light (or none if using the dragon covenant stuff) armor, while two handing a katana. The rampant backstabs kind of forced me into this new style of gameplay, since they can't stab what they can't catch. I once went through a 7 minute duel in Demon's Souls, so I have all the patience in the world.

silver knight armor and silver knight shield(sometimes grass crest shield and spear. DWG ring for fast movement and poise ring so that i don't ever get stunlocked. i two hand my spear, poke them then flip away, flip towards them, poke them, flip away and repeat

For Dex builds: Aways wanderer coat

For Str builds: aways black iron or black knight chest.

Then I adapt depeding on the situation, normally with gloves/leggings of thorns, havels, black knight..

And I like the Pharis hat, if I don't have it I go without helmet! (absolutely no mask, way too ugly)

to add to my first thing i pretty much use same/similar armour for each build, just change the hats from time to time, just for **** and gigs

Big hat
Dingy robe chest
Giant gauntlets
travelors boots

Crown of Dusk

Crimson Robe +5

Havels legs/Gauntlets

R of F & P/DWGR/ Grass crest shield/Canvas talisman/+15 Great Club/+5 Chaos Long sword

Enough poise and just scrapes me into flipping range.

I see that setup in 50% of my fights, just change the weapons lol

Thats funny - I hardly ever see it! 50 matches last night, many katanas, rapiers and BKGA's but no clubs. I use MSGS, GD Machete and Effigy shield too. Its a strength build so I've gone for the best scaling weapons.

I see that a lot with moonlight greatsword and butterfly spear, not much str weapons indeed

Still is funny, they can stag you in one hit and have decent poise and ninja flip

Its a pretty good set up as the crimson fully upgraded has pretty good defence.

I'd love to go 'club to club' with someone (ooh I say!) but it never happens...

As I have the stats, usually full giants, but sometimes Elite Knight. I'll swap between a longsword +15, Silver Knights Shield, and Greatsword/Shield of Artorias depending on my mood. I usually have the Cloranthy ring on and swap my second ring for Wolf or Havel's depending on my weight. I always keep to 50% so I can stay dodgy if need be.

Havel's gauntlets and leggings
(makes me look like a badass medieval robot with 78 poise)

Havel/DWG rings

left: grass crest shield/pryo (toxic mist/great combustion/2 servings of fire tempest)
right: mainly BKGA, but i've been trying out Man-Serpent greatsword +14 and Great club +14 (need some more slabs dammit!) and the Avelyn +10 loaded with lightening bolts

Oh right oops.

I'm sporting a Zwei setup. I recently changed armor as well, and am loving it. Havel's gauntlets and leggings. Dingy chest. Love the lightning defense. 56 poise prevents stunlock from most weapons, except ultra greatswords.
