Strength Build (Strength > Dexterity)

Stat Distribution (Assuming Wretch):

Lv: 60,  VIG: 24  MND: base  END:20  STR: 40  DEX: 16  INT: base  FTH: base  ARC: base

NOTE: Level up Dexterity and Mind to match your weapons / ashes of war.

 

This build focuses on increasing Strength as the main stat, and using weapons like Greatswords, Ultra Greatswords, and Heavy Armor.

Two-Handing weapons will also increase your damage by 1.5x, so using Strength-scaling weapons will make you deal an insane amount of upfront damage.

In order to be able to comfortably equip and use heavy weapons and armor, however, it's recommended that you also put points in Endurance to increase equipment weight and Stamina.

We also recommend leveling Strength to 40 and then increase your other stats depending on your weapon's scaling.

If your weapon scales with purely Strength, however, we recommend investing more than 40 points in Strength.
