So to sum it up if you want heavier attacks and your character is on the bulkier side, go for a Strength build. These builds are also ideal for both PvP and PvE. In fact, some of the best bleed weapons scale with dexterity. Another advantage of a Dex build is they allow you to apply status effects on your enemies. You also need to be aware of enemy attacks to timely guard or dodge them. So with a Dex build your focus is on light and fast attacks. Dexterity (Dex): You should go for a Dexterity build if you like faster gameplay.This will help you focus on attacking rather than blocking or dodging. As that will allow you to take damage while you can attack. You should use strength weapons if you are going for a tank-like build.The reason is they are slow so if your opponent is fast or a ranged attacker hitting them can be quite hard. Another thing to remember is they work better in PvE and not so much in PvP. Hence they are suited if you use them two-handed. A minor downside though is that they attack slowly.

These weapons are on the heavier side and hence deal more damage to the poise.
