What is your favorite build that you've either created or used in your playthroughs in the Lands Between?

I'm partial to a build im using currently that incorporates a greatspear myself

[The Icecream Snowman]

I always like the spear and greatshield build. The shield is the most important part of this build, the bigger the better.

It can tank bosses while I poke them down. It can tank Crucible knights and poke them, too. It can poke lobsters and dragons and run bears, it can poke snipers and giants and assassins.

In my world, it is the age of poke.

I've always been partial to halberds with faith for support in the franchise, but that hasn't worked out for me here since healing is so weak.

I liked how pyromancers played out in DS3 so I'm experimenting more with that type of jack-of-all-trades build in Elden Ring.
So right now I'm running this abomination with medium armor, a scimitar, a small shield with projectile parry, a bow, sorcery, and every consumable I have all at the same time so I have basically every damage type and status effect available to me.

I have to spend extra time prepping the right consumables sometimes but it pays off.
