Should I immediately level all pts to Arcane ? Please advice

I'm about to reach Frontier. I may invest once I get hold of Ludwig's Blade or Holy.

LEVEL 38

Vit. 22

End 21

Str 18

Ski 10

Blo 9

Arc 8

I really want to go ELEMENTAL once I find the equipment. Since elemental don't scale well with strength I would like to know if I should stop here and pour everything into Arcane.

Your guidance is appreciated!!

If you really want to go elemental then yes you should dump all the rest of your points into Arcane. Just make sure you have it at +6 first so you can enchant it with Fire. Otherwise it won't get any of the damage buff from Arcane. I am not sure why no one is actually theory crafting here. The souls games had a great community that loved to help.

The thing is I think that simply pumping STR might be better for Ludwig's and not using Fire Damage. I believe the reason for this is you can find physical damage runes more so than elemental. I think I want to make a STR/Arcane build and enchant the Clever Saw. Ludwigs plus Clever Saw seems like a great combo.

I am trying to figure this all out myself so you might want to do some more digging. If you want to go elemental upgrade Ludwigs to +6. You need to farm the guys with the bags in the jail like place you go after letting one of them kill you. Then enchant the item with Fire and wallah you should have a pretty badass build one you level Arcane up. Make sure to make good use of tools and anything with Fire. Probably will want to use Tontrius as your second weapon.
