Some insight into a Strength Build

So I'm making a strength build after going dexterity for all my previous builds and could use some insight.

First one is Med Roll version of the build. Has good Bleed resistance and enough poise to take one hit from a 2h ultra great sword.

Second is Fast Roll version. Problem is I want 53 poise to be able to resist one 2h strike from a greatsword, and I'm 2 short. Also am considering switching Shotel with a Composite bow.

Both builds use the Black Knights Greataxe, which I am aware is getting nerfed around 100 damage in PTD, but I just love its moveset.

Both use Power Within, GC, Havel and Wolf rings respectively. Both builds have good Bleed resistance, because I see a even bigger increase in katanas since their getting a speed buff in PTD.

Any help is appreciated

This armor setup is better and you need an anti spear option, a composite bow +poison arrows is mu syggestion

My armor choices was the thing I wasnt too sure about, so thanks for the input. And if I see a spear user I can also menu switch to a bow,or vice versa with the shotel.

I think Knight's gauntlets / Hallow Waistcloth with wolf ring are some of the best options for defence and poise for their weight. Catarina Gauntlets give them a run for their money for the poise but they lack the oomph of +10 resistence values

I know you want the BKGA, but I think you should honestly drop the dex and go pure strength. Large hammers are where it's at!
