A Dark Solaire Build?

[HeroicNinja1337]

So, I literally thought of this a couple of days after posting my Poison Build and I wanted to try and see if this is doable.

Okay, so first and foremost, here's my Sunbro Solaire cosplay.

Head: Heide Knight Helm.
Chest: Insolent Armor.
Arms: Engraved Gauntlets.
Legs: Heide Knight Leggings.

The only weapons that's needed is the Sun Sword and the Sunlight Parma. Spells should primarily be the Sunlight and Lightning Spears.

Now, onto the actual build. The idea of Dark Solaire was thought of when I wondered; what if Sunbro Solaire wasn't the fun loveable, jolly cooperation Knight that we all know and love. What if he was corrupted via... [fill in the blank.] And no, not corrupted because you didn't bother with a certain covenant in DS1.

So, the main idea would be to use Hexes instead of Miracles. The armor would most likely be changed up as well. The Dark Mask and maybe the Dark Gauntlets come to mind. I don't know what to do with the Leggings, maybe the Dark Leggings?

I'm not 100% sure in regards of the Sun Sword, to swap it out or leave it. But I would likely switch out the Sunlight Parma for... some other shield.

Anyways, that's about it. Again, this isn't a build in the makes, it's simply a concept, for now. Any and all help would greatly be appreciated. \[T]/

that just kinda seems like your regular hex build but with a different armor and shield, huh?

Yeah, now that I'm actually thinking about it, trying to make a Dark Solaire character in DS2 would be tricky (maybe even impossible) considering the fact that Solaire's Armor isn't in the game and that it's a pain to cosplay as Solaire in the first place. It would basically be like trying to cosplay as Ornstein or Gwyn.

Something like this would probably be best suited in DS1 or DS3 since both games have Solaire's Armor and Dark Magic/Hexes. Although, I'd suspect this would work better in DS3 considering the fact that you get the best of both worlds in DS3 with an abundance of Hexes compared to DS1 measly four or five Dark Magic. (That's if you consider Dark Fog among them since no one really uses it.)
