Gankers Pay The Price - Crushing Defeats

This gank hunting build is a combination of my normal setup and my failed strength build. Being in the forest hunter covenant means that my soul level doesn't matter considering i invade everyone. Note that i only have 31 poise despite my high endurance, because a good portion of it is so i can wear the most stylish armor possible (gotta look good while murdering gankers).

The crystal demon greataxe is extremely powerful, especially in red tearstone range. It takes a while for the durability to drain, and when it does, you can buy more of them from Shiva in Blighttown.

Those desperate for the backstab are very easy to bait into the R2 smash, and gankers chasing you are easy to bait into a jumping attack. I dislike doing quick-revolution backstabs even in the most extreme situations, so this build provides an excellent alternative.
