Thinking of trying a new build

[Mister Shan]

I am towards the end of the game and am getting kinda bored with just a strength build. I have like 58 in str, 50 in Vit, and 43 in Endurance. My weapon is the Faithful Bludgeon +10 and it definitely hits like a truck but I assume if I spready my points out in a more efficient way I could do more damage. What are some fun builds to play with? Is inferno fun? Will that pair well with my weapon because of the fire damage? I was thinking building maybe something like a Paladin. As in, respec with Strength and radiance? What would be some good weapons for that. I have a sword called Justice and some grand hammers.

Justice is pretty good, str/radiance is a pretty comfy build because you just buff up, and away you go. i found the mobs at the end of the game are stronger vs fire (castle bramis)
the full radiance build with the pietas was stronger than you can imagine though, since they nerfed the holy goodness (teehee) outta it. you can try an replicate it with the quest flail you get at the bottom of the tower of penance. two of those go real hard if you dual wield them.
i kind of stuck to one playstyle each ending and ended up doing multiple endings over again, cause of a few quest bugs and my own goofs. like i did the radiance ending first and unlocked the holy char and did a holy run doing the inferno ending and then made an inferno toon for the umbral ending you see what i mean?
i always tested my builds on the lightreaper first fight. like you finish and make a new game and the first fight you try and survive with ur build. only my umbral build was able to beat him, maybe it just took me that long to git gud though.

Honestly the frost great axe is pretty good maxed it out damaged my great sword with a+ scaling.

Had to edit my post, it’s the weapon that drops from the Viking mini boss on the way to through frigi probably botched the name frostbite is pretty goatee on heavy weapons.

I havent changed my build yet, but Im enjoying some variety by using diff weapons( strength also). Like, I can be a fake "dex" build with the shovel hands, a fist weapon with big str scaling, so I can play like some quick light guy if I want. Or swap to hammer and shield/ dual axes to mix it up. Double grand hammer/ sword, plus super light armor is pretty nice. Its not that glass cannon since str boosts defense naturally and it hits really hard and has hyper armor on combo attack.

I want to try different things, but I just can't get off my INF build with the maxed out Fallen Lord's Sword. Is there any weapon that beats this thing?

While I’d mentioned end game enemies have some resistance to flame damage boils down to ng cycles. Frostbite is actually pretty good.
