Why doesn't anyone help with the Sanctuary Guardian?
I've gone through the DLC area between SL 20-100 and not once have I seen a summon sign before the Sanctuary Guardian. This boss can be really easy, but on a couple of my builds he was damn near impossible and I could've really used some help so I didn't waste hours on him. I've also put down my sign just before the Sanctuary Guardian for probably a total of 2 hours and only got summoned once.

I've beat him with a magic and a dex build quite easily. Ranged battle is simple and most of his attacks can be dodged rolled easily and provide big openings. Add that with the fact he is easy to stagger and the battles a breeze.
What you say is true, I've had trouble with him on two different builds that were both medium rollers with a slow weapon only. I was prompted to ask why I never see summon signs tonight because tonight was the second time for me having trouble here. My current build is a faith build with a divine lucerne and using the elite knight set, I'm probably going to have to switch some of the armor around for fast roll.
Actually I've found being a fat roller with a slow weapon to be the easiest way to beat the Sanctuary Guardian. Full Havel's set + chaos zweihander + crystal shield works wonders.
In fact switch the crystal shield for a silver knight one and you can pubstomp Artorias as well. High defence, high stability sets like Havels take almost all of the challenge out of those fights.
I beat him with no shield/no armour with wolf ring and +10 fire zweihander. Just don't get hit, and his combo melee attacks only require two dodge rolls backwards and you're safe to heal.
