My Drake blood build (suggestions on improvements would be appreciated)

[Worm Shepherd]

I have a soul level 206 at the moment and I wanted to share my drake blood great sword build as well as take suggestions on improvements.
My stats are

VGR: 50
END: 40
VIT: 10
ATN: 4
STR: 50
DEX:65
ADP: 29
INT: 3
FTH: 8

I run the drakeblood greatsword+5 it does
232 physical damage
50 lightning damage
50 magic damage

I use the cloranthy ring+2 so I can Regain my stamina a lot faster
Ring of steel protection+2 so I can take more damage
Flynn's ring so I can do more damage
And the ring of blades+2 do I can do more damage
The sword does 332 damage on its own when upgraded to +5 but with the rings I have on it and my current stats it does 222 extra physical damage for a grand total of about 554 overall damage.
Any suggestions?

Edit: I forgot to mention that this weapon is an E in strength scaling and an S in Dex scaling. It also does 140 counter damage and has 35 poise damage.

Its a build regardless of what level I am.

A lot more vit so you can wear more armor? I know you're using flynn's ring but what's the point of ring of steel protection+2 if you're not wearing real armor to assist in physical protection? I assumed you wear using the drakeblood armor set since you're using the sword until I saw you were using flynn's ring. Also both strength and dex stop gaining any damage at 50 iirc. Since the drakeblood greatsword does magic and lightning damage maybe get a little bit of int and faith. 20 int 20 faith is fine but 30 int and 30 faith is ideal.

THIS. Not everyone wants to stop leveling to stay at some pvp range. Also soul level doesn't matter in dark souls 2, soul MEMORY does.

Yeah I put more points into it since I realized the Benifit of the Flynn's ring goes down at about 60 equip load so I'm at 59.5 right now. I roll all the time and I'm very good at it plus considering I have 29 ADP my i-frames are very good and I can roll a lot easier so I would generally have no armor. But does the steel protection ring not work without armor or what? I'm confused.
But I'm gonna put points into INT and FTH when I go into the next new game.

there is noob ahead but dont give up.
pvp builds stop at sl 150. pve build mb can be higher sl but i dont think that u rly need to level up more then 150. at higher sl build necome not a build but overleveled character that can do \ wear \ cast anything. it is stupid to call BUILD charactewr like havel mages with great shield and all kind of magic in game and using any weapon .

to be honest 40 end? do u know about break points? i think that no
the same with Dex . 65?? rly? 65 gives u mb + 10 AR on S -scaling weapon. useless waste of 25 stats
27-30 END and 40 at DEX = sl 206 - 35 = now the same Build but at sl 171 ( look like almost a build now)

Again, it is a build regardless of my level. I have not invested points in anything other than having a good great sword BUILD I cannot cast miracles or hexes and I cannot use pyromancy, I am unable to do anything past a great sword and other physical weapons.

See thank you, I'm looking for suggestions. It would have been a lot better of you would have just said all that from the beginning.

all u did is wasted 56 levels for nothing. u get no profit from that overleveled ♥♥♥♥ that u call build

and now you're just be in obnoxious, either settle down and have a civilized discussion about the flaws in my character build without having to say things that are uncalled for or leave the thread.

Ring of Steel Protection probably does work without armor but I imagine it works better with actual armor (not light "armor" like leather armors, etc). Also i'm sure there are some very light armors out there you can wear that at least give you some elemental resistances.

Do you by any chance know of such armor?
Also then I should bring my Dex to 50
And my endurance to 20 and bring up my intelligence and faith

Don't go int/faith more then 20, 30 is useless , break points are 20 and 40.

No leave endurance at 40 but yes to bringing dex down to 50. Since you want to be really efficient with your stat points i'd say 20 int and faith is what you should go for. Divide up some other stats maybe...
