Astora Greatsword build for PvP

[Katsu]

What's a good/best Astora Greatsword build for PvP at the moment?

What attributes should i use and how many points to invest, what rings, armor and infusions, thanks :)

The leo ring with the astora's thrust attack can be amazing, but damn hard to time right and is easily punishable (have gotten hits of 1100+ in pvp, and have gotten backstabbed for trying it at the wrong time) and even with 40/40 str/dex it's best with a sharp infusion. With a sharp infusion you want to focus on dex. At full upgrade, its scaling with dex is insanely good. Refined infusion doesn't catch up to sharp infusion until both str and dex are over 50, like 60ish. As for armor, the Astora is a UGS, so it has hyper armor, which means that the poise value of your armor actually comes into play. If you plan on trading blows with anyone who uses a UGS also, (could be totally wrong with this, just from my own experiece) 37 poise in armor seems to let me hit, take a blow and hit again, but I'll get stunned if that second hit doesn't stun them. 45 seems to let me trade more blows.. and nothing seems to let me trade blows with a great hammer.

I play as a pyromancer with Astora Greatsword. I have a little over 20 for both strength and dexterity, but 25 for intelligence and faith (which will go up as I continue to level up). Dark or chaos infusion is good for my build since it scales from intelligence and faith. I did some reading around, and dark was recommended since a lot of players use armors that don't defend against dark damage well.

If you're looking to do a pure physical build, Ambugaton's advice is better to follow. Add me if you want to play sometime!

Sharp infusion and maximised dexterity.
Either for for hornet ring with parries, or go for leo ring for bonus thrust damage and try to bait people into R2 thrust or even WA. Absolute murder hell.
Or just... Be skilled and keep landing those hits. They cant heal forever.
