[Cthulhu]

I love my rooftop defender build.  It gets a lot of NG+ guys but that just let's me practice my guerilla warfare.  Pied a guy fighting the respawning taurus demon.  Dropped onto the square bridge in sen's fortress behind a guy and backstabbed him off the ledge.  Fucker still wasn't dead so I had to do a plunge attack.  Suck my 31 vitality dick, Fats the Bandit.

EDIT:  Okay, I'm looking into another build for level 120 PvP, but I'm not sure about it.  I realized with my Oswald cosplay that I'm way better at fast builds than big knight ones.  This build's out of date though and I'm trying to figure out how to tweak it to work properly.

Here it is.  The problem, of course, is that the gear is too heavy for fast rolling, and since I'm going shieldless I'll need to fast roll and preferably flip.

Anyone have any suggestions for gear that:

A.  Looks good
B.  Has decent poise
C.  Is light enough for an E45 character to fast roll in, assuming he's using a Chaos Blade which weighs 6?

EDIT2:  Looks like Dark Mask and Armor, with Gold hemmed gloves and skirt, will give me fast roll with FaP, and I can always drop the DWGR for Wolf Ring.  Does this sound viable at 120 to you guys?

Also is the build I linked worth using at all?  Chaos Blade seems a little risky, and while I like the idea of going all out with power within that seems pretty suicidal.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:

This is what I've finally come up with.  Anyone know if it's worth pursuing?

[majikero]

The chaos blade drain is barely noticeable in PvP. Power Within IS suicidal since people tend to wait it out. If you have the faith for it, get Force. Take a few points of Vit won't hurt much.

Just getting into the Tomb of Giants.  I found Patches, he kicked me down. Talked to Rhea, and then her bodyguards attacked. I still had my Zwiehander equipped, from the large skeletons. It's got a considerable range, it does.
 Anyway, I came out of that fight seven humanities and an ivory talisman richer, if only by accident.  Also, any strategies for the giant skeleton crawler things? The ones with four legs? My Zwiehander does not seem to stun them long enough for an attack, as was recommended a few pages back.

Just run past them. Ain't worth killing them.

Are you using the two-handed power attack?

[Lukewarm]

 The attacks from the zwiehander make the skeleton rear up, which is as close as I can guess to a stun for them. I have to have my Skull Lantern out to see, being a faithless fellow with no maggots and a dark television.

A bit unrelated but I just finished a session of Demon's Souls and decided to check what's new on Playstation Plus. For anyone that is interested, Demon's Souls is now free for (atleast european, I know there are sometimes differences between regions) PSPlus members. So go pick it up

Also, Ico, Catherine and Shadows of the Colossus are free as well.

How the hell can Microsoft keep a straight face when advertising XBox Gold when Sony is continually so awesome with this.

[majikero]

Wait what? How much is PSPlus again?

Wait what? How much is PSPlus again?

Swedish prices are something like 150 SEK for 90 days and 450SEK for a year or something around that. So assuming the same pricing scheme, roughly 70 bucks for a years membership. I have more than made up for it so far and I still have several months left on my membership.

Draw me like one of your French girls.

[Cthulhu]

Slack-jawed girls you make the hollow world go round.

I'm wondering, who do people trust more?  Frampt or Kaathe?  I don't think either one has my own interests at heart, of course, why would they?  They're probably older than the Fire.  I usually go with Kaathe because I like his whole "Mankind up, gods down" thing, but the more I think about it the more I think the Four Kings are a good example of why Kaathe shouldn't be entrusted with the fate of the world.  If you know where humanity comes from*, you know that it's a finite resource.  Kaathe's solution to the Curse seems to be "just take humanity from people weaker than you."  The only way I see this ending is a dark, barren place with a small group of very powerful dudes waiting to Lifedrain each other as soon as one blinks.

Yes, but it'll happen eventually anyways. Linking the fire is a temporary measure that maintains the power of what few gods are left, most of which have, at this point, gone mad. If there were some kind of third choice, that'd certainly be the moral one, but for now, I think that the Dark Lord one is better.

[majikero]

The only reason I go to Kaathe is because he has a very convincing voice. The invade other people thing is just a perk.

[Stworca]

Kaathe is - oh dear - more honest than Frampt. They both lie, but Frampt's ties with Gwyndolin are a step too far.

[Girlinhat]

There's only one god left, who maintains a shroud of lies.  Why should the chosen undead work to aid the gods?  They've already left.

Unless you count the "archdemons" like the Witch of Izalith or Nito.  In which case, one's a disfigured being of raw chaos and the other is literally a gravelord.  Neither of those sound very appealing, compared to what humans might provide...

Although some lore sources state that humanity can be reproduced, that the Furtive Pygmy's entire plot was to split the darksoul to humans, where their unique life can produce more humanity (presumably via breeding or warrior's spirit or something).  In that case, you can continue throwing humans on the fire, keeping the mad gods in power, or you can simply let humans live without them.
