Profaned Greatsword Build.

[Elllll]

I'm bored of quality and dex (and dark) builds but haven't played Strength since DS1
Question is, what are the best UGS (aside from profaned), and how far should I raise Vigor, END, Vit and Strength?
Secondly, will a fully upgraded Profaned out-damage a heavy infused UGS?
Thirdly - which rings?
Fourth - Is it worth going for heavy armor or stay under 70% equip load?

Profaned is a quality wp so......
Str use the great club/yhorm's machete/ledo great hammer/Fume Ultra Greatsword/Greatsword.
66 Str then put whatever you like elsewhere

Why 66? Is it the breakpoint?

-stay under 70%
-for rings RoF+3 and Havel+3 are a most have

-in regards to weapons:
You can decide between the vertikal and horizontal swinging UGS.
The best vertikal ones are: Greatsword, fume, cathedral knight GS

-> Greatsword has the most damage heavy infused
-> fume has less dmg than Greatsword, is heavier than Greatsword, but in return has poking rolling attacks and a thrusting heavy attack. The Full WA is useless though
-> The Cathedral is the lightest of the 3, has less damage than the other 2, has the thrusting heavy attack like the fume, but the rolling attack of the Greatsword, has the same WA like the Greatsword which is more useful than the fume

all 3 are buffable. They all have pro and cons

The best horizontal ones are: Lothric knight GS

The LKGS with a lightning buff outdamages lorians GS selfbuffed, zweihänder buffed. LKGS has the same moveset like lorian and zweihänder, while zwiehänder has a worse heavy attack. The LKGS is the best horizontal swinging ugs for a str build.

not a UGS but other great strength weapons are the exile CGS, ledo, door, great club, splitleaf GS
