Dark Souls 2: PvP or git gud skrub?

[Azmodan412]

Okay, I was thinking of hearing everyone's Dark Souls 2 builds and rate them from 1 to 10 on how successful you think they'd be. I'll start:

Build Archetype: Turtle-spanker
Mindset: Constant aggression, giving no room to heal or recover.
Soul Level: 149 and counting
Starting Class: Knight
Stats from top to bottom: 22/17/18/13/32/20/19/25/26
Right Weapons: Dark Silverblack Spear +10, Lightning Red Iron Twinblade +10, Poison Manslayer +5
Left Weapons: Longbow, Dark Caitha's Charm +10, Drangleic Shield +1
Armor: Raime's Helmet/Armor/Leggings, Engraved Gauntlets
Rings: Cloranthy Ring, Royal Soldier Ring +1, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring +1, Third Dragon Ring
Spells: Resonant Soul
Rating from 1-10. I'd rate a 8.5-9 because I've won 85-90% of my PvP matches, and the losses are against people with Murakumo or similar katana-esque weapons.

Edit: You are allowed to rate other people's builds.

I only really do the occasional pvp on Dark Souls 2 due to several reasons

1) Lag.
2) Fucking Russians.
3) Fucking Asians.
4) More lag
5) Fucking Aussies.
6) Lag again.

I have however had luck using the "STAND MOSTLY STILL META"

How to into this glorious tactic:

Stand still 90% of the time. Don't move unless you have to, and let them come to you. When they do, punish them for it via lightning/dark weapons. Maybe use a few poison knives/pyromancy/arrows/hexes to force them into aggressive mode, then just...

Wait. Seriously. Just wait for them.

It's infinitely easier to predict when you're not moving at the same time.
