So, i've just started playing the game and, after reading some articles about stats and weapons, i began wondering how to plan my character. Basically what i want to do is a agile character that will survive using dodge and have high damag and attack speed. I've seen that katanas can give me the speed i want with some nice damage, but i stil don't know what to do stat wise other than uping my dex to the max. Another thing i thought about making was a off-tank character with high str and heavy armor to be able to withstand some damage and kill enemies with great swords. What would be good to do in both those situations?
