You might want to consider this armor set up: Different armor
It has better defenses in every category and also better bleed/poison resistances.
Also, it keeps in theme with darker color armors.
Also, it gives you the 31 poise breakpoint.
However, there is something to consider...
...I am a HUGE fan of Strong Magic Shield. ESPECIALLY on the Darkhand. Your opponent won't even know its active because the only give away is so small its almost impossible to tell its active, as opposed to other shields that give an obvious blue glow.
BUT, you cannot have SMS active with a weapon buff active. I say who cares, but it might effect your playstyle more than you think. The only way to use SMS with a weapon buff is with resins I believe.
I say it matters not, but this is something I wrestled with a lot in my prime of Dark SOuls play because most of my builds were mages/spellswords.
Good luck mate.
