I've done several playthroughs of Dark Souls, and for my next character I decided to make a coop build, since I love PvE and helping other out. I decided to cap him at level 120, as that seems to be the level of most players in the game. However, I've never done a purely co-op build, so any help would be much appreciated.

Some basic guidelines I though of were pumping up my strenght to 50, endurance to 40, vitality - at least 20.

I was thinking of going for a midroll, with the Paladin set and the Giant shield. Since I'm going for a strengh build, I decided to use either a Greatsword or Ultra Greatsword. Is that an optimal weapon? I also thought of using a pike, so that if the host gets invaded I can block off the invader in a bottleneck.

Should I use miracles? Most of my builds employ miracles, since they are too cool to pass by. If I put my faith to 30, and my attunement a little bit higher, I can use Great Lightning Spear, Sunlight Blade and Great Heal, at the cost of some vitality (but that's not the most important stat IMHO).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
