Magic is an easy way to play put does'nt always pay of in pvp or boss fights. You need a backup plan for that, try get some strenght and dex and build a hybrid. It usally pays of and I find it fun to play. [spoiler]my charater: Full black dragon armor set, Smelter hammer (70 strength but if two handing strength weapons it cost half the strength) sanctum shield (good magic block and can use all magic types exept fire), backup plan is ice rapier (quik and deadly strong attack), pyro flame to get warmth (heal spell) and magic weapon to boost damage vs tough foes or bosses, rings are 3rd dragon ring, soldiers ring, cholmarity(?) and a def ring vs element (depending on the zone or player). Extra weapons are dragon rider halbeard and sanctum crossbow. Make sure u got an arsenal of weapons and test diffrent stratigies depending on your enemy. And good luck[/spoiler]
