I want to do a build in Scholar that just straight wrecks

So I've played this game a ton of times, and mainly go Hexer with the crypt greatsword, or stick with a no shield two handed spear guy. Hex is fun but I like melee, and I'm super tired of spears and lances. I'm look for a good sword/shield/arrow build that can really mess up enemies and bosses. Nice stagger, leaves good stamina for dodging but getting in a lot of hits. My big issues are always Elena and The Ivory King so if it helps there that's great! Just kind of look to make the game my bitch with a melee character, pve only.
