DLC Pure Mage question

[BiomageHun]

Current STAT
Vigor 60
Mind 40
Endurance 40 this is for light load with armor
STR 14 "For relic sword"
Dex 40 because i probable will use pebble so dex will cast more faster
Int 70
Faith 22 "for relic sword"
Arcane 9 "minimum 18 i need for Great Orancle Bubble"

which stat i should increase to 60? will do 1 more 60 probable Arcane or Faith, i hardly but i maybe use skill or incantation for damaging, not like the idea but if i see a awesome weapon or incantation which help me to beat a strong boss, probable use it.
its Faith right?

I don't know about 60, but you will want to have at least 27 faith so that you can use Lord's Divine Fortification and Flame Protect Me, both of which make some of the hardest DLC fights significantly easier

Vigor 50
Mind 30
Endurance 22
Strength 14
Dexterity 22
Intelligence 81
faith 9
aarcane 8

(ymir hat, altered high priest robes for finger joy, solitude hands and feet)

milicent's prothesis (for bastard stars), godfrey's, imp-must-fight-puzzle sorc talisman, and a mitigation one for whatever boss it is)

the new spells (manus cathedral ones) are good.

particularly the aoes -
- the pink one sucks them in, cost little fp, charges up, and hits hard
- the void one has far better range, and does decent ranged aoe

twin moons, from renalla, will cast 2x even if you are knocked out of the cast, as long as the moons form.

with those 3, you can make a very aoe blasty mage.

then there's the thorns spell from shadow keep, for cheese.

weapons... i'm still using bastard stars, mainhand the renala staff and carry a shield (the small shiny one from apostate's church - the place with the massive lady sleeping on the way to the haligtree)

Good luck. I have been rocking a Dex/Int 40/40 at lv 150 for the entire DLC on NG+ and the majority of the time I have been using a holy straight sword with Sacred Blade and a medium shield. My Faith is 12, but half the enemies in the DLC are undead... and very much attack spam.

thats not a pure mage build. you need 80 int base for highest scaling with the strongest staffs. Been rocking 80 int with bare minimum stats allocated towards frost/magic weapons that scale only off int (moonveil, astels wing, darkmoon great sword) with radagons icon, magic scorpion charm, mass grave talisman, and shard of alexander. This has given me by far the most damage while being able to tank a few hits in both pvp and pve in the dlc. Scadushard fragments also play a major role in equalizing enemy damage and how much damage you yourself can take. If you do not have 80 int you are missing out on much more damage, if you spec anything into faith dont bother doing an int build as any other 80 int player will outscale your damage and faith buffs.

pure mage build means that you only use magic and no weapons

yes i really want to do only that, and not use anything else, but i can change my mind.
to be honest 1 thing i dont know how will successfully kill, the giant torch :D i feel i will need extreme damage to kill it :D
