I might try something like this: https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=274607102363082772
-It gives 42 poise instead of 46, and replaces the Oolacile with the Darkmoon catalyst.
-I think force would treat you very well.
WoG, BF/GC, the MSGS, and even HCSM have great poise damage potential, and force can assist with stagger set ups. Since you dont have a shield, it could also serve as great tool to set up your roll backstabs and what not for magic spammers.
-Cycling attuenments is always the biggest challenge when you have 5 or more castings to choose from imo. 3 is easy with practice, 4 takes practice, and 5 takes a lot of practice imo. My attunement builds have 3-4 castings and I just duplicate them through NGs in order to minimize cycling. When I have 12 Dark Beads, then they are my "bow", when I have 9 WoGs, they are my "360 degree Claymore"...if you catch my drift.
The reason I feel this poses such a big problem is when facing experienced players. Spamming a WoG or combustion will not work with them. You MUST, again imo, combo them. You must throw off their timing. HCSM is a great way to force that mentality on them. I've casted WoG and/or Black Flame for instance knowing I'm out of range, but also knowing they will press afterwards and I already have a different casting ready.
The way I look at it, if I have 3 wogs, 8 BF/GCs, 10 HCSMs, etc, and I land 30% of those castings, I'll more than likely have taken close to 50% of their health regardless of my "casting adjustments" compared to their defenses at soul levels 100-130.
I also think
are the most fun to play.
Lastly, love the concept. Good luck bud.
