Critique this build!

So i'm unfamiliar with sorceries, other than the knowledge of how badly they beat my ***, so i threw this together aimlessly.

I like the idea of chameleon and hidden body/weapon. I think they could be very useful if used properly. Also the Abyss Sorceries are in there because they're OP lag beasts.

I can't think of anything better than gold hemmed for this, mainly because i want solid armor/res and also quick rolls

any input?

Add an Ascended Pyromancy Glove +5 to your right hand and attune two copies of Black Flame to break Crest Shield turtles.

This only changes your armor, and increases all your defensive stats but flame by a million: better defense

You have no defense to magic. That includes WoG. Replace the BDCR with DWGR, or the CoD with Logan's Big Hat.

Hidden weapon is best for ranged melee, imo.

If you're not buffing your weapon, put the cat in your right and use SMS.

***EDIT***

What mugen said too.

MLGS is a melee heavy weapon, there's really no need for spells when using it, except some backup like Dark Bead. If you choose a small weapon like a dagger or rapier, you force yourself into using the spells. MLGS ≠ mage.

What wyrm said makes perfect sense too. You're maxing your damage with your intelligence regarding the MLGS.

I'd say you can use it as a mage for setups and combos, but you would probably make your build a little different.

Actually I like how you equip Wolf+BDCR. It doesn't really needs that much poise but I think it's better than FAP+BDCR since 1500 HP is enough for a mage. I will consider it for future mages. And my suggestion:
