Weapons
Rh1: Blue Flame+5, this is what I've focused this build around due to it's fast casting speed and dam output for both spells and melee. Lh1: Kings shield, not recommended but there for high damage block and fire resistance. Lh1: Avelyn or sanctum repeater if you have the dlc, used as backup in case you run out of spells.
Equipment
Head: Leydia White Hood+10 pureley cosmetic. Armour: Throne Watcher Armour+5 offers decent defence and high magic defense
Hands: Drakeblood gauntlets or Throne Watcher gauntlets, doesn't matter which ones due to similar resistances
Legs: Throne Watcher Leggings+5
Ring1: Ring of blades+2
Ring2: Third Dragon Ring
Ring 3: Southern Ritual band+2
Ring4: Blue Clearstone Ring for even quicker casts or Northern ritual band for more spell uses
Spells
Soul Greatsword X2
Focus Souls
Soul Gyser
Soul Vortex
Homing Soulmass X2/ Crystal Soulmass when obtained
Heavy Great Soul Arrow
Tips
You can switch focus souls out for either: Another soul geyser and vortex or X2 Soul bolts
Don't enhance Blue flame with magic or enchanted as it will lose damage output for spells
If you are feeling reckless remove the soul geyser and focus souls, and replace them with unleash magic ( not recommended for PVE unless you like punishing yourself that way) Message me on PSN for any more help on this build or for feedback my PSN ID is THE_ASSASSINBANE
Forgot to include the stats Vit: 28, Str: 40, Dex: 30, Int:71, Faith 7, Adp: 7, Atn: 30
I did the math & discovered the soul level is supposed to be 240, not 220. Also, the Adp value is originally 9 in the knight class, not 7. I've made one change to the build: 18 faith. It allows for some hexes like dark fog and the like, but also allows the use of the Homeward miracle, mainly because continually buying homeward bones is a waste of souls that could be spent on leveling up. My leveling plan is this: 1) get 7 faith, 2) get 30 dex, 3) get 28 vit, 4) get 40 strength, 5) get the 38 end, 6) get the 40 vig, 7) get the 30 att, 8) get the 71 int. All this while following the elite pyromancer build that is on here, with a few modifications to that one, of course. That's all.
My current level is 116 with 12 vig, 12 end, 28 vit, 15 att, 40 str, 30 dex, 9 adp, 16 int, and 7 fth.
My equipment is:
Rh1 heide spear +7,
Rh2 sorcerer's staff,
Rh3 pyro glove +1
Lh1 drangleic shield +2
Lh2 lightning short bow +2
Rings:
Silver covetous +1
Ring of restoration
Chloranthy ring
Ring of blades
Armor:
Alonne capt. helm
Alonne capt. armor
Jester's gloves
Alonne knight leggings.

How's that?
