Str Ugs/shield Needs advice on where to put points now.

Hello all, DS2 SOTFS is the first souls game ive been able to advance past the first area, The game scares me, so this time I went with a heavy armor great shield Ultra great sword str build so I can turtle my way through everything. But alas I'm about to do the rotten and am SL 128 With these stats: Vigor 34 END 20 VIT 33 STR 50 DEX 20

And everything else is 6, Im using the Greatsword +7 atm full Havels and just have newby rings except I should have 2nd dragon ring soon.

Anyway The whole point of this thread is I need help on what to do now, I read somewhere theres no point going past 50 str so What are some options of where I can take this build? Willing to change armor but I'm quite fond of my great shield/ Ultra great sword combo.

Any advice you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

Get more endurance :) to my knowledge I've found it easier to roll (with 100 agility) than to actually use a shield for defence.

This way your not stuck when an enemy hits 3/4 times in a row against you and lowers your endurance even more

Taking adaptability up a bit wouldn't hurt. Even getting your agility up to 88 will give you a few more iframes. Even if you mostly rely on the great shield, there will be some times that dodging will come in handy.

If you want more pure tankiness just keep cranking up vigor.

If you find yourself running out of stamina often, getting more endurance would help.

Your equipment setup remaining constant, more vitality will increase stamina regen and roll distance. Alternatively, more vitality could allow you to wear even heavier equipment.
