Hey guys. After receiving a not-quite so warm welcome over at the official forums, I've come here to see if the community is a little friendlier.

Here's my question: How do I make a sorcerer build? I've been running an extremely balanced melee build up until now and I'm pretty interested in starting up a sorcerer build, perhaps even a sorcerer/faith duo build if that's viable. I'm just completely flabberghasted as I almost never make spell-casting builds in any games. In Dark Souls, do they continue to use melee weapons and add to str and dex as well as int? To me, that's just adding another stat onto a bunch of other stats that cry for attention. So what stat takes the hit for increased int or faith? What kind of weapons are normal? I can figure out what spells to use on my own, that's the easy part. A pre-emptive thanks for any help I may receive. =].
