I played the game as a high int/dex spell sword using carian greatsword and stuff which would be notable other than as soon as I got the dark moon greatsword I respecced to use that and my spells and pretty much cheesed the fuck out of the game with weapon arts and magic. I was gonna try out a strength/faith build since I never even found Goldmask or that storyline in my playthrough but then I didn't and haven't played it since. 

Blue sword go brr.
