Help with an Int-Faith build

[Martini]

Heya, I'm trying to make a general purpose build with Sorceries, incantations and daggers (only daggers for melee damage)

I also kinda want to avoid using glintstone pebble or Comet Azur.

Any items or weapons I should keep an eye out for?

Erdsteel Dagger is one with greatest faith scaling, tho about sorceries and incantations i love to use carian regal scepter and the moon attack, but i prefer a more relieable weapon and being light weight. a MUST spell for pvp in my opnion is the Borealis Mist

For Hexer build? Int/Faith?

Well, uh, I'd assume you're using the hexes. Golden Order Fundamentalist incantations, Ghostflame sorcery, and Magma sorcery. Otherwise why bother with the build?
Obviously you can take advantage of the fact that you get both sorcery and incantations... but if you lean too heavily on either one it sort of makes the build pointless.

The Sword of Night and Flame is the only Int/Faith scaling weapon in the game. So if you don't use it, might as well just infuse literally anything with Cold (a dagger works fine) and inflict Frostbite on enemies with it. Then use Catch Flame or a Magma spell to end the Frostbite effect early so you can inflict it again. Repeat till enemy is dead.
Your melee damage is never going to be outstanding. Might as well rely on status effects.

Stuff you'll need:

The Golden Order Seal is found just laying on the ground in a church outside of the capital, so it's easy to get.

The Gelmir Staff requires farming a particular snakeman sorcerer at Volcano Manor. It can be annoying to get and you'll probably end up replacing it so you might choose to ignore this staff altogether.
If your stats are 40/40 Int/Faith or below this is probably the staff for you. Any higher and it's beat out by the Prince of Death Staff.

The Prince of Death Staff is a treasure found in a platforming area in the underground of the Erdtree's Roots. Beneath the Capitol. This area can be accessed by doing Ranni's questline and defeating the double Gargoyle boss in the underground area before Nokron OR you can defeat Morgott and Lesser Mohg. Which will allow you to go through an illusory wall near the Frenzied Flame grace that leads to the aforementioned area.

I’ll be using this idea as well. I want my next character to be int/faith. I want to mix and match the worst spells and incantations to make a magma-themed meme build
