I found that I would rather have more hp then the 25 damage I get for 40 strength. But even 2 handing it I get a few point away from damage with the difference. I figured Staight swords are 400, great swords are 500, and ultras are 600 so as long as I was at least 500 I would be cool damage wise. and the bow gets a better attack rating with dex anyways so it at least sitting with 400 so all in all I think for a aesthetic build I didn't do to bad.
