Notes from author
Alright so, I like strength builds. I really do. I always enjoyed using a 50str/30fth hybrid, but I wanted to make strength weapons hit even harder, and what's better than putting on the best buff in the game with 50 fucking faith?
41 Vitality with the FaP ring gives you just about 1600HP, which is nice.
14 Attunement is enough for a faith build. That leaves room for a buff and two offensive miracles.
40 Endurance, couldn't really afford to put more there.
40 Strength. Wish I could have gone to 46 for the Demon's Greataxe but meh.
8 Dexterity. I actually went through each and every usable strength weapon with 40 strength and none of them requires any dexterity.
50 Faith to get as much as possible from Darkmoon/Sunlight Blade and other miracles. The whole theme of the build is to hit super hard without being a glass cannon.
Crown of Dusk and Ring of the Sun's Firstborn to deal ridiculous damage with our miracles. As if a hard hitting strength weapon with a 474 damage buff wasn't enough eh?
That armor setup is to be used if you wish. Don't hesitate to change it for something else. I just didn't really know what to put there and all the armor setups the armor optimizer gave me were all rather ugly looking. Not that what I came up with is extremely fashionable either, mind you.
Use Darkmoon Blade, obviously. Make sure you're rank 3 in the covenant, just to get the maximum out of DMB. You can farm Souvenirs of Reprisal in the Painted World, from the harpies. I'd suggest invading using Cracked Red Eye Orbs once you're done.
Put what you want in the other two attunement slots.
You should keep either the Hand Axe or the regular Mace as backup weapons, depending on the weight of the weapon you're using. Don't underestimate them. Seriously, don't. The Hand Axe is super fast and the Mace stunlocks like a motherfucker.
To put in perspective, with a Demon Great Machete + Darkmoon Blade rank 3, you'd have an AR of 1110. That's fucking ridiculous.
