Notes from author
27/40 with a stubborn mindset, so your alternative suggestions will fall in deaf ears. I never was a fan of the Halberd. But meh, I'll give it a shot. If you even start flipping around after a katana or a spear, I will kick-tank you--- even change to a spear/Estoc/Swag Sword for quicker pokes--- and let's see if those hits of yours will hurt more than my Leo counters. Even my arrows hurt, especially those headshots. So watch out!
I may have gone lazy with precise distribution between VIT and END. Even with the armor set, though going above 32 poise is nice. So if you ain't cool with them, just change them. Remember, this is 27/40. So just redistribute anything else but STR/DEX.
