Wolf Knight's Greatsword - Dex or Strength?

[E23Dude]

What is the best build for the Wolf Knight's Greatsword?

I currently have a mix between strenght and dex (S= 34 and D 31)
What should i currently focus on when leveling? my sl is 99 at the moment.

If you twohand it, Dex. Otherwise Str. It works the best on a quality build.

Quite a few unique weapons and boss weapons are best on quality builds (wolf knight greatsword, Pontiff knight weapons, black knight weapons. ringed knight weapons...)

If you're ever unsure then check the scaling. If they're both something like D/C for strength and dex respectively, then it's a quality weapon. Infusable weapons don't matter as much since you can make them refined, but some weapons such as rapiers and murakumo do kinda bad quality infused.

what does people mean with quality build? is that Strength?

I usually 1 hand the weapon, thats the best way to roll catch someone in PVP! but i also can wield it 2 handed, block/tank the first attack on me and follow up with a r1 combo. I love the moveset of this weapon and have hundreds of pvp hours with it in DS1.

Quality build is about both strength and dexterity.

Like Bully Hunter said, quality is both strength and dex, usually they're the exact same. For example, a meta quality build is 40/40 for dex and strength. The gem for quality builds are the refined gems.

Yep, refined gems are for quality builds. If you want to use Chaos or Dark gems, invest in Faith and Intelligence, otherwise you'll deal less damage if you invested only in Strength or Dexterity.

okay, so leveling both equaly like ive (almost) done is okay?

[Reverend Jerry]

Yeah, it should be.

Definitely. Funnily enough I'm doing a quality build on my most recent character, and the Wolf knight greatsword is one of the weapons I plan to use. Though I'm mostly using the old wolf curved sword at the moment.
