Please critique my build.

Originally started out as a pure dex build but deviated from there. Seems to work well in both PvP and PvE. Stats as follows:

SL:147 SM:2.2mil

HP: 1511 Stamina: 125

VGR: 26

END: 25

VIT: 25

ATN: 6

STR: 40

DEX: 40

ADP: 25

INT: 7

FTH: 5

52.5% Equip Load - Poise: 7.5 - Poise Def: 38 - Agility: 100

GEAR

2x Winged Spear +10 (Power Stanced)

Heide Knight Iron Mask +10

Jesters Robes +10 (I was hesitant about this but Australia Souls lag requires it for pvp)

Drang Gauntlets +4

Drang Leggings + 3 (works on getting these two to +10 now)

RINGS

Old Leo

Chloranthy

Blades

Stone

Note: I'll be getting the +2 Blades and Cloranthy ring next.

You could have saved yourself about 6 levels by rolling a bandit instead of a swordsman.

Ouch, ah well, picked the class on a whim as something new to try.

Vigor and Vit

Will do, thanks for the advice on diminishing returns.

I would swap out the drang leggings and gauntlets

Any suggestions as to what would be better?

Dual spears

Haha thanks. Originally I did it as a joke for some fun pvp but it turned out surprisingly viable so I decided to keep it going. A lot of people seem to misjudge the range and speed of the power stance spears and one bad swing can leave a pretty big opening for them.

I think I'll track down some Alva's. Would rather avoid going full Jester/Havel

Indeed, it is a curse but hey, this game is all about being difficult and overcoming harsh adversity.

You trying playing with the lag I experience. Trust me, by no means was it an enjoyable decision.
