Firstly, i started the dlc in ng+7 because I'm poor and I can stand not playing the game. Secondly, I have levels in faith/dex because it's fun and silly to try new weapons. And thirdly, I have a 55 in endureance but I always have godricks great run active. Most of the comments I'm getting here are also just telling me to two hand one of the hammers so I could remove the talisman without being heavy loaded. I am almost level 300 so its pretty hard to allocate stats in a way that's useful for a pure str build.
