Finally got to make some progress on NG+, I was stuck a long while on 2-1 and 4-1. Now managed to beat Dragon God and got Northern Regalia and i'm using a Purple Flame Shield +8 which has 79& Guard Reduction.
That build, coupled with the Ancient King Set and a Ring of Great Strenght has allowed me to breeze through most of NG+ now, except for the occasional mistake (and NG+ doesn't allow any room for mistakes...)
