It depends if you want to remain stealthed or not. If you remain stealthed all the time then INT, DEX, MIG (for the healing) maxed and the rest in CON. If you want to be active from the back then increase PER instead of CON. Bardatto, Evasive Roll or your invocations (you can use non-offensive abilities without breaking stealth). With items you can already have 27INT. Couldron Brew, resting bonuses and INT inspiration from Set To Their Purpose... will help you reach 35. PS. With this build you can also use the Sasha/Thundercrack switching trick

Besides the tricks Boeroer mentioned, the proc is affected by the same damage/accuracy/penetration bonuses as the weapon (becoming much stronger than the original spell) and can be increased further with sneak attack, deathblows, etc. Since the proc is considered a weapon attack it will also replenish focus for a cipher allowing a rogue/soul blade to chain kills very easily.

Personally I consider Engoliero do Espirs one of the best 2H in the game, but it also depends on the build you're using (works great especially on a soul blade/rogue). Eager Blade has also a great heal on crit with Battle Unending, but you also need to be able to enfeeble your targets (a great choice for FF/berserker). Overall I would say the estocs have good enchantments compared to most 2H weapons and their modal is also better than other piercing modals, however their lower base damage puts them a little behind other obvious dps 2H.

Riposte is just a way to add a little free damage, it shouldn't be your main focus. Works better on tanks because they are attacked by multiple opponents and can trigger more ripostes. Probably a forbidden fist/trickster is the best candidate because he's tanky enough and ripostes can also chain trigger Swift Flurry/Heartbeat Drumming with Mohora Tanga.
