I recommend a spear build. I started with it yesterday and it's pretty good. If you want, you can get the Darkwood Grain Ring and play without a shield for extra difficulty (or grass crest shield on your back). That gives you the start of my build and it will let you customise it as much as you want. Hopefully you will enjoy. :)
