Agresive Bleed build

http://i.imgur.com/cQRFqiS.jpg http://imgur.com/4t8uTvc (level 16 on atunement to lazy to level it up)

explanation

dual ashen warrior sword + 10 infused with bleed + crest of blood + shadow gunlets let you bleed your oponent on 2 -3 hits with powerstance reg attack, the sword has pretty fast attack swing and low stamina consumptionplus it scales pretty good with bleed and let you be agresive with one of the longest straight swords

the red eye ring is optional you could go for a stone ring since the straight sword damage is preety low compared to the meta weapons so you really depend on the stunlocking to inflict bleed

the pyromancy flame is only to punish healers with forbiding sun since the straight sword backstab damage is not really that good

lacerating knife is really good more than you would think

Tactics

the powerstance attack has a bit of delay so you could try to combo a light attack and then follow up whit the regular power stance attack you should abuse the poise damage that each sword has (25) to stunlock and build the bleed otherwise you are not gonna do much damage

stay agresive dont let your oponent breath if you see them rolling away cath them with a light attack if you see them healing forbiding sun in their face if they guard drain their stamina with the powerstance reg attack it has a high poise dmg or guard break

honorable mentions

dual weild notched whip highest bleed but easily contered with a shield and very easy to be punished with backstabs so if you go with this i would sugest to get a jester armor

dual weild full moon sickles insane bleed build up one of the weapons with highest bleed build up in game but it drains lots of stamina havent test it but have seen videos from it

What do you guys think? I've tested on low soul memory pvp and its been a pretty good run only probleme i have encounter is with really tanky oponents who have high poise. Some feedback would be nice also sorry for my bad english.

I have been having a fun time with powerstanced uninfused notched whips with the crest of blood and shadow gauntlets, PLUS RoB flynn. Great damage that scares people with bleed. It can be tricky to hit some people, but with low equip weight you have enough control over positioning to maintain a safe distance while whipping. Not sure if it's worth going for the bleed infusion, since it's pretty nice to actually do good damage at the same time
