I think we should call these the 4 horseless men

Why hello again, everyone.
It's been quite sometime since I've posted anything, so let's get right to it:

I really like the builds I've been seeing. Keep 'em coming! I haven't posted anything for WAR or FAMINE yet because life happens and I've really been trying to finish WRATH. It's been tough duel-wielding claws in PVE, but now that I have almost reached the optimal SL for that toon, I plan on starting my version of either DEATH or PESTILENCE.

@Reece: Hades is a BAMF idea (that I might borrow since I will lead the PSN section). I think he should have all the black magic from the AotA expansion. Totally bleak darkness. I might also start working on my own take on him. Not sure yet. All these ideas are making my ADD go carazay. You on 360 or PC? If so, you interested in leading either section?

Honestly, if this covenant is going to work, I would prefer people simply use their own ideas and visions of the horsemen rather than standardizing builds.


Couple things needed:
-A name. I was thinking about naming it the Acolytes of the Apocalypse, but decided against it since I wanted to avoid alcoholics come to out AA meetings (haha joke). But seriously, the name "Acolytes" doesn't fit. Perhaps "Harbingers". Not sure at this point. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
-Representatives on 360 and PC as I am on the PSN and will take the helm in that respect.
-I have some solid ideas for lore, but I am pretty busy outside of this game to do it myself. So if anyone is interested in writing a fleshed-out background story, PM me and I'll let you know the direction I'm looking toward.


I will try to post on this thread for this covenant more often, and once we are a bit more established, I will begin regular posts in the COVENANTS section of the forum.



Let's start a list.

My take on Hades. Just a draft >>> http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=280824098555962287


Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged.

OMG you're back! I thought you left permanently. Also, I'm on PS3, and not interested at leading covenents at the moment. Thanks anyway.

We could call this the Chaos Servents, but that's taken already.

A great name would be The Usherers of Armageddon.

I chose two scythes for a couple reasons. First, since this is the Grim Reaper in the flesh, so he needs to be a master of scythes. I also wanted to make use of SB perhaps in future drafts but still use the LHS. Additionally, since the LHS has a good chance of killing the player if they aren't careful, the GS should be used in difficult boss situations where he or she would need as much HP as possible, and against enemies that don't bleed (skeletons, slime and a couple others) However, I did intend to make the LHS the primary weapon with the GS as a backup secondary weapon.

IT HAS BEGUN:
