So I'm thinking of creating a heavy faith build. I am thinking Dexterity for quick spells for heals and lightning bolts, and Faith for damage. Using Divine/Occult weapons, but where I find myself at a crossroad is this. I want to use a heavy set of armor and a heavy shield. So I need at least 30 str to do so. But then I aim to hit 50 dex and 50 faith. Is this build useless?
