Notes from author
First Priority: PvE
Second Priority: PvP
1: Sorcerer
Info: This is a Intelligence/Dexterity based build, therefore I wanted to keep Faith as low as possible. The Sorcerer also seemed like a very good class to pick due to having 15 Attunement at Soul Level 3.
2: Soul Level 125
Info: For a long time now the PvP meta Soul Level cap has been Soul Level 120, however you're able to connect to those that are either 5 Soul Levels below you and/or above you, since the first priority of this build is PvE I wanted a bigger health pool, therefore taking everything into consideration I spent 5 more points taking my Vitality to 40, you will still get a lot of PvP due to only being 5 Soul Levels above Soul Level 120.
3: Gear Selection
Bloodshield - This is a reason why we're only getting 10 Strength. Not only does this shield have 100% physical defence but it also provides a 50% boost to poison, curse and bleed resist which is very good for PvE and especially PvP, these days PvP consists of poison/bleed buffed weapons. It's also a kite shield, therefore Parry & Riposte is available to you.
Balder Side Sword - This is the other reason why we're only getting 10 Strength. The sword scales extremely well with Dexterity, it's very fast, has very good range and doesn't take much stamina per swing.
Sorcerer's Catalyst
Info: Simply put, this is the best Catalyst to use once you have 40 Intelligence.
Ascended Flame
Info: Power Within has been fixed, so now the Flame can be increased. This flame is used for Power Within and any other Pyromancy spells you wish to use.
Lingering Dragoncrest Ring
Info: This ring doubles the duration of your buffs, use this when you're going to fight a boss.
Hornet Ring
Info: This ring increases your critical attack damage, when you're invaded equip this ring, Parry & Riposte or Backstab for a critical attack.
Dark Armour
Info: I chose this because I find it cosmetically pleasing, choose what you like!
