you can literally just google fun builds, or make whatever you want.

imagine asking for a cookie cutter build in a game with many possibilities.

50/50 str dex quality build lets you use experiment with most of the weapons. Carry a greashield, a thrusting weapon and a bow and you will be well equipped to face almost any challenge even without magic nukes as a crutch.

70 int build will let you melt pretty much all the bosses with almost zero effort.

Tree sword spear with ice spear/cold infusion Dex/int and some mind.
You are welcome.

I went for 20/20 dex / strg and put most in faith then in int.
It lets you use alot of weapons and you can just make them scale with holy / fire with an ash or later with the whetstone.

I can use katana, great sword, short sword and alot of spells and incantations.
You only miss out the really heavy stuff like greatshield and huga axe and GS.

But i'm not into these anyway.

My best advice is to just ignore all other advices and just play the way you like to play. You'll be amazed how many builds are fun to play even if everyone thinks it's not strong enough or not "meta".

Just FYI I'm going with an INT/FTH build right now that everybody think sucks and it's pretty strong and fun. Double Greatswords ftw baby, one holy and one magic :)

Grab the Greatsword in Caelid, get swole and swatt everything that moves. Profit.

In Dark Souls 3, I made a Joker build and it was so much fun! I gave him the soldering iron, jailer's robe to hide a leg of thorns, and primarily used a bandits knife to inflict bleed. I also gave him a crown because that seemed to fit his character. I allowed for a few pyromancies that centered on poison and toxic as well. The build was not at all optimized, but it was super fun.

I copied this with a few adjustments to get the look right:

They are all good for PvE. Faith has the support spells going on. Melee characters are great for keeping the boss in one place. INT is the quintessential nuker stat.

If you are imposing a level cap on yourself the only thing you can mess up is spreading yourself too thin.

Personally I found the colossal swords had great utility for helping hosts versus bosses. You can interrupt a lot of enemy attacks with high poise damage. Some can even be stunlocked with chaining crouch pokes. You can help open up crit opportunities faster. And you can get those hefty charged attacks out much more often and safely when the enemy isn't always facing at you. The only real weakness are enemies who bounce around like crazy, making it difficult for you to chain hits or keep aggro away from ranged characters.

All builds will provide good meta power at end game, nothing saying otherwise will matter. It's not even subjective as the weapon upgrade plus the add ons + ring level+ stat priority will make you powerful no matter what.

Some good builds?
Arc proc is very good.
Str builds are very reliable for self survival.
Obviously toughness factor makes a difference over softness of mage style. Glass cannon.
-Mage power on the flip side can be viable when used correctly.

Shield. ONLY shield.
