Need advice on 100 SL arena build.

Hey guys!

First of all, Merry X-mas!


I recently started considering running a build strictly for the new DLC arena.

What do you think about:

SL 100 Sorcerer

Vit: 39
Att: 16
End: 32
Str: 14
Dex: 30
Res: -
Int: 32
Fai: -

R1: Grass Crest Shield
R2: Sorcerer's Catalyst
L1: Uchigatana
L2: Balder Side Sword

Armor:
Crown of Dusk
Dingy Robe
Dingy Gloves
Eastern Leggings

Rings:
Ring of Favor and Protection
Wolf Ring

Spells:
Pursuers
Dark Bead
Crystal Magic Weapon


I would be grateful for any feedback

Cheers!

Not a real fan of Persuers in the Arena, it takes 2 slots and it's pretty easy to run into terrain in there....

Also I would advise in general to learn to menu swap, it'll save you weight allowing for TCC and better poise...I'd maybe do something like this... http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=450521522808564468

pretty much the same, exact same stats just 2 bead 2 CMW because TCC, also check out that sweet poise armor set up. Just keep the BSS in the menu and swap it on when you want/need it.

Thanks for the tips on armour set, I'll try to learn menu swap as well...

And how do you assess the build itself? guess it's not very original, but hope it'd work decent...

BTW, is 30 dex enough to feel the difference in the cast time?

Cheers!

faith is gonna be better for buffing your weapons.
ints got better scaling weapons.

@ Rifter7

Can you recommend any good dex/faith variant? to be honest never ran a faith character, don't know what should be implied...

kat, falchion or great scythe
30 or 50 faith
a stack of wotg, sunlight/darkmoon blade
and if you want, a heal, magic barrier or some pyros in place of a shield.
you could use a darkmoon talisman and bring int up to 16 for dark bead too.
ps if you're worried about losing your shield having a pyro flame in your hand is a pretty huge deterrent in general. u can always pull off one of the cats to parry or put the flame in ure right hand if u want too.

i edited my post but a bunch of stuff dissapeared so whatever. theres the basics, i lost my train of thought.

How about now?

I would suggest taking ten points out of faith and putting them into dexterity in order to increase your base attack power.

you don't need as much damage to take a player out anymore, i find.
