Weapons
RH = Drangleic sword +5, Old whip +5 or Hunter's Blackbow
LH = King's Shield, or Drangleic Shield
Equipment
Armor: Anything you want. Though, it should be under 70% carry weight, unless you like being fat. I wore the Syan's Helmet +10, King's Armor +5, Drangleic gauntlets + 1, Drangleic Leggings +2.
Rings: Chlorhanthy ring, Ring of Blades +1, Ring of Steel Protection +1, and, of course, the Ring of Binding. Note that in pvp the Ring of Binding may be replaced if you want. I switch it out for the Red Tearstone Ring.
Spells
None. This is a pure quality build, so no spells.
Tips
TIP 1: Try to stay as close to opponents as you can. If the enemy keeps running away to heal or whatever, punish them with the Hunter's Blackbow. You could also punish them with the Old whip +5. The running attack in one hand with the Old whip is extremely useful for dead angling too, same with the Drangleic sword.
TIP 2: Roll and block the same. If you're a turtle, or a cheetah, try rolling or blocking more. The high adaptability allows for good rolling, the high strength/dex allows for good blocking.
TIP 3: Be careful what you use. This build is sort of overwhelming, due to how many weapons/shields/armor are available to you. Do not get overwhelmed and upgrade everything, only a weapon you know you'll like.
You should check out my heavy soldier build. Very similar.
I like it, excellent leveling/overall quality build! Using this build as a first character will definitely give you intuition toward the game, and the wide weapon capability is nice for finding your favorite.
