    Well the in reqs are 24STR 18DEX 20Faith 20INT. It scales C,C,B,B according to the wiki, just don't put anything else into str and dex and you you're on the right track. Just put the remaining into faith and int.

    The good thing is you havent wasted any points on resistance. If your going for a higher level build then it could be rescued. You could use more points in endurance. If you like the weapons that get stronger with dexterity( Like the uchigatana, rapier, flamberge,Maurakomo) your build could be saved happy

    If you plan on making a build set to use Artorias' sword then definatley go for a high level. Get Int,Faith,Strength,Dex to 40. Endurance to about 30. Arty's greatsword is most effective with these stats i think? Then from that point you can put points into attunment if you wanna use any sort of miracles, sorcery or pyromancy but you shouldnt need more than 4 slots. Oh yea forgot to say that this would also optimize the use of the dragonslayer spear to since dex and faith are high

    Artorias builds are always flawed, you shouldn't hold it to the same standards as you would other PvP optimized builds. Like others have said, go for a high SL and you should be fine.

    Its very possible Useless Char? 4203215067 To be honest, vitality is ok at 20, but if you want it higher by all mines level it, it is your character after all

    With the lower scaling in STR/DEX pimp out your Faith/INT, maybe go with some more VIT, but other than that you should do fine in PvE.

    I would suggest deletion (or I suppose just making a new one) of any character that has STR+DEX+INT+FAI, even at soul level 200, you can't really make use of those stats. Any of the wolf greatswords that interact with both INT and FAI are just terrible weapons, there is no reason to make 2 weapons (Divine and Enchanted, they both do magic damage), you can't really benefit from a buff, I suppose if someone used Great Magic Barrier you could use Sunlight Blade instead, but at Soul Level 200 everyone will be better min-maxed then you. Lastly, using both Miracles and Sorceries is pretty flawed. You will have to pump a lot into ATT (and then you've put points into every stat, cept that nearly worthless RES), but it also takes up 2 weapons slots unless you don't mind some quick swapping, which I try to avoid, just cause.

    Useless Char? 3358384175

    I have considered a build that takes advantage of those stats and releases tension from END+VIT which allowed it to be a lower level character, but I can't remember it, give me a moment and I will try to make it again.

    I assume you started as a knight, because of the 10 ATT and 10 RES, I will design this character first for what I wanted to do with it, and then what you could do with it.

    http://mmdks.com/2isb

    That was the design to be the bestest tank ever and fast roll, you see I like Dragonbro so I understand you'd like armor. Make sure you remove that Orstein Armor as its never the best, compared to upgraded armor after you upgrade it.

    I see now looking at your stats that you could do it very close, and remain below SL 100. I would suggest you put more points into END (get to SL 100), and use the Ring of Favor and Protection, or Havel's Ring to increase your Equip Load and wear some serious armorage, if you wanted to try it of course. You can downgrade the spear into the Sliver Knight's Spear and that should also give you more EL to work with, or even a Winged Spear or Partizan or normal Spear if you are inclined.

    Not the best build, but not the best stats either. I maximized armor for highest lightning defense, where the defense is weakest (although with the Black Knight Shield and Great Magic Shield, it still would do almost nothing, but with Great Magic Barrier, magic is even less dangerous).

    I dunno exactly what you mean, but the Artorias Greatsword with c/c/b/b scaling does split damage, do against most players, its really bad for its stat requirements.

    The OP did ask after your post if he can still use that build for his spear. After reading your other post and thinking bout my build you and the guys helped me with, I gotta say I'm with you in saying do-over.
