Notes from author
This build is for me to try something new, as I had not played a mage in the original Dark Souls yet, I always wanted to do this but It's not really my playstyle to completely focus on my dark bead to kill all my opponents if you know what i mean. The build tries to maintain some sustain with 36 Poise and decent defenses you can get one hit or two, without dieing. ( plus soft cap HP). Attunement gets me 5 Slots which is enough for me, but you could transfer some Points from dexterity to attunement as well if you need more than 5 Slots. Strength has just enough Points to use the moonlight greatsword, and as I dont want to use dark Magic there is no reason i should put more points into it. I put 46 Points into Intelligence as it is the main stat and the hard cap for my catalyst has been reached there. ( actually at 45 but at 46 ist one more magadjust; i wanted to have a SL 110 either way). The Bloodshield and the armor is basically also Fashion Souls (halfway) because he's dressed red like that and i really like how the character Looks in this blood coloured theme. (eastern armor is red as well in case you didnt know)
Last but not least, I often like to have a second quicker weapon in space so I filled in the Handaxe with enchantment, you could use velkas rapier, Dark Hand or anything that costs less or equal than 2.5 weight. ( maybe even a parrying dagger for easier parrys)
Well that's it hope you like it if you'd read this.
