Probably will use the same routine as my platinum run on Demon's Souls.
Started as a Hunter, and dropped my points between Dex, End and Str. When I had enough Dex to use a Sticky Compound Long Bow +5 (30 Dex) and enough Str+End to equip a Purple Flame Shield +10, the Black Leather Set and the Dragon Bone Smasher (30 Str, 35 Stamina and one Ring of Great Strength).
Afterwards, I dropped 24 points in Faith and 24 on Intelligence (to have both three slots in miracles for God's Wrath and Regeneration and 3 slots on Magic for FireStorm or Warding). Afterwards, during my NG+ playthroughs, I started dumping all extra points on Vit and End and ended up switching to the Brushwood Set as I wasn't hindered by it's weight anymore.
I'll probably do a similar strategy for Dark Souls.
