I had the same problem a little while ago. Here's what I did:
+9 Sword, Shield, and armor.
Focus Build in Order 1 to 3 (1 being high priority, 3 being low)
STR 2
END 3
SPR 1
Full Empowerment to Cool time on Slice and Dice, Bone Slicer, and the defense breaking attack. Reason: SPR will increase your crit rate, and with higher attack rate for 1H you will crit more often, CT empowerment allows faster attack rate for skills thus increasing chances for a crit. Remember crit doubles dmg so that makes up for the lack in STR. END allows higher shield block, HP, and Defense. And the +9 on armor increases your DEF making up for the lack on END. Also, you want to enhance armor that has decent SPR and DEX greens (STR and END are a Bonus) because you want to inclued some extra Aim in there to garuntee your hit rate. It may not completely make sense, but trust me, it's an effectively balanced build. <3 4 Speed :O
