Tips for strength/faith build?

[Elbonris]

I am a Hero class, using just strength, HP and Endurance.

I am having fun in pvp and PVE but am curious about pyromancy and miracles/incantations.
Or
Bleed/poison

Should I just spec for minimal weapon requirements and then the rest goes into faith and/or arcane or???

Please share tips and builds.

I like the anchor and hand axe but would also be up for trying other weapons.
Goal is to have fun in pvp and pve

Clawmark Seal scales with Str, and you can get a lot of useful Incantations with a mere 12 Faith (Urgent Heal, Cure Poison, Fire Sling, Beastial Sling, Beastial Vitality, Flame Cleanse Me, the Fortification spells, a few others).
Most I aim for is either 12 for utility, or 20 (Black Flame, Dragon incantations). Hero starts at 11 Arcane, bump it up to 12, Faith to 12, 15, or 20 tops, and use that Clawmark Seal.

You're probably not looking for a buff build, but I have to say it's a really strong option when using a non-somber weapon. Bloodflame blade+golden vow+fire grant me strength is an incredibly powerful combo. You may struggle if the boss fights last longer than your buff duration, but that combo with a flask that buffs fire damage can really shred, especially on bosses that bleed.

Realised I can go pure strength, end and HP and still use most of or even all the spells you mentioned, by just putting on a talisman:D
