After having played several strength builds I can't say 50 is worth it. 46 max, if you want to use the Demon's Greataxe but 40 is plenty so you can use the Demon Great Machete and still make most of the best strength scaling weapons. Lighter ones like the large/great club and normal greataxe are perfect without weighing way too much, and even the pickaxe/mace/reinforced club can be devastating. I also wouldn't recommend the Black Knight weapons if you're going for a maximum efficiency build. Put those 10 shaved off by strength + 8-10 shaved off by dex into Int or Fai and buff that great club into one gloriously glowing stick made for extreme pounding. Heh.

One tip Ultima; I wouldn't recommend leveling resistance, no-one ever levels it due to... not being useful. But feel free to prove everyone wrong

Been playing quite some bit on a friends' PS3 I borrowed. Finished my no-talking challenge which wasn't too hard. Started a fist weapons only challenge. The guy is ready to take on the Gargoyles. Should be fun. And obviously the ganker hunting never stops.
