Demons souls soldier stats?

Can someone give me some pointers In making a soldier class in this game? I want to use a shield and sword (wouldn't mind a spear). I followed someones advice on the net and they Had me invest alot of points into luck faith strength to 18 and others. However I'm now at soul level 35 and it takes too much effort To kill enemys. I want to remake a character with better stats. Any advice?octobermagic

Put most of your points into strength and endurance, and a bit on vitality. Keep faith low, around 15. Raise magic to about 25, and put Intelligence up so you can carry 3 spells at once. Put about the same amount in magic as you do in Dex because even you are a swordsman you'll still probably use bows, keep luck pretty low, unless you're going to use the Blueblood sword, in that case raise it almost as much as strength and endurance. And for spells, have poison cloud (a must), warding, and some offensive spell. This isn't like some official guide, this is just what I did, though it does work good for me. By the way, I'm SL 123, if that matters.
