    Looks nice, that build is oddly similar to what I used at the Blighttown pit event. I'd personally do something like this for Blighttown

    Here's an atrocious low lvl trolling build:

    Very good for using at Sen's or Blighttown (or the Parish if you want to be a total d*ck!)

    Gross dude. Make that Large Club normal and 2H you have like 20 less AR and it's not split. Chaos is for weapons that DON'T scale like monsters.

    Here's an updated version of my trolling build- it's truly dreadful- taken it up to lvl 30 since it's much more fun to invade people in Sen's/Blighttown.

    I've been trying to come up with a good troll build for sen's fortress, myself. Any advice would be appreciated towards creating an optimal build. I think this thread should be stickied, and we should maybe organize the OP with some basic goals towards defining what kinds of "optimal low-level invading builds" (troll builds) can exist.


    Some things I'd like to discuss / see discussed:

    - "Best SL for maximum potential / fast invading" (so far I think somewhere between 20 - 40 is perfect for sen's fortress, but I have a hard time deciding on a number)

    - "Best spells to use" (factoring in preference and low-level viability.)

    - "Best armor setups" (for hitting the 53 poise & best defense-to-weight ratio)

    - "Best rings to use" (is the wolf ring + Ring of favor and protection ((or havel's + different ring)) the majority choice here?)

    - "Best weapon choice" (is the rapier the majority decision here as well?)

    - "Best spawn locations to choose per area"

    etc

    To get the ball rolling, I think I'll throw in some of my own general thoughts on low-level invading ("trolling," as some people call it):



    - At least 12 dex (for rapier/composite bow)
    - At least 14 str (for the scythe, though this is a personal preference)

    - Black Flame (for easy guard-breaks / damage)
    - Great combustion (or another black flame if on ng+)

    - Dingy robe +10 (amazing elemental defense)
    - Crown of dusk (magical damage boost is too great to ignore IMO)

    - Need to be able to fast roll with 53 poise (so probably wolf ring + favor and protection, though possibly switching rings depending on situation ((like changing from wolf ring to hornet ring if you feel confident you'll get an unsuspecting backstab)))



    I'm not sure where else stat points would be optimal, or how high a level we should shoot for (depending on area). For sen's fortress, I feel that somewhere between SL 20 - SL 40 is optimal, but if anyone has an exact number that would be best to shoot for, that would be appreciated.

    *Edit* -- Something like this is what I'm currently trying as a sen's fortress troll invader. As for spells, I'm a little conflicted. Great chaos fireball is mainly there for the lava pools, which have a lot of utility-- but the spell itself is rather slow when you're under 45 dex.

    **edit again** fixed link, was accidentally linking to someone else's build for a short while



    I understand a lot of people look down on troll builds, but to be honest I feel that it takes planning and skill to create a good one. I've also encountered many good players, whether low level or not. I feel like these builds aren't just aimed at killing a noob that has a sword hilt for a weapon-- they're aimed at being able to invade your favorite places without delay.

    To be quite honest with you, if you're making a build between level 20-30 (optimum levels for trolling), you won't need to worry too much about having loads of poise because if you stay within that level range you are most likely to be matched with players of a similar level, especially at Sen's.

    Occasionally you may come up against a higher-level player but the build certainly isn't geared towards being able to tank hits. 12 strength and 12 dex will be fine, the reason my troll build has a lightning rapier is just as an "insurance" in case I come up against someone significantly stronger than my own character, and also because it's very light

    If you're going to focus on Sen's you could use spells such as fire tempest which is great for ambushes down the narrow corridors. Also, if you are able to decrease vit and strength slightly, you could get 12 faith and have access to healing miracles and force (this is essentially for any troll build, particularly in Sens). With 4 attunement slots you could have 3x pyromancies of your choice plus force, which would make a formidable combination.

    Overall it's up to you but those are my thoughts, have fun creating your build!
