So some jerk went ahead and hacked my xbox live account, luckily I got everything back but microsoft has to lock my account for 30 days. Fun.

Anyway, I am definitely not going to put Dark Souls down for a month considering that it's an incredible game that I want to finish, I've been playing as a knight and I wanted to roll a different character anyway so does anyone have a good build or tips for sorcerer characters? I'm thinking that I should pump a ton of points into intelligence and vitality but I have no idea how the magic system works so I might be doing it wrong.

Any tips?

Confused but I loled

@kingzetta: That sounds a little confusing, So I'd basically be leveling Vitality, Strength, Endurance, Intelligence and Attunement? And I'd be slow? I don't know I kinda of wanted a fast character.

Vitality? Well, I guess if you want to be a half-assed Sorcerer. But if you want to be killing enemies with one shot of a Soul Arrow early on, put enough points into Attunement to get 5 slots and then fully invest in Intelligence. When you get more spells later on, you can decide if you want to put more points into Attunement for more slots. Actually, I don't think putting any point into Vitality as a Sorcerer is too good an idea as you may end up stuck later on where you won't be dealing enough damage with your low Intelligence. You're not supposed to be a resilient magic casting class with a Sorcerer; I believe you'd prefer a Pyromancer in that case.
 
Make sure to purchase the extra Soul Arrow spell that you can get from a merchant early on real close to the start of New Londo Ruins for 2k souls. That'll double your amount of available Soul Arrows from 30 to 60, which makes for less trips to bonfires. Later on, make sure to save Griggs of Vinheim to access more spells that will help you greatly.

@FluxWaveZ: Thanks for the tips, so I shouldn't worry at all about vitality because my best defense is a good offense. Okay, got it.

@kingzetta: I did play around with the pyromancer for a little while but I don't like hybrid classes too much.

I might have to start over because whenever I go to a bonfire to level up it wont let me put points into anything and says ReqSouls 0 over everything. Can someone help me with this? Am I missing or forgetting anything?

@TheWyotee93: It does that to me too, I think it's just a thing you have to deal with. I just ran back, got some more souls and it would let me put points into attributes again.

Well your going to have to do some melee, because your not really going to get far on pure magic. unless you level up your attunement enough to have like 20 spells.

@FluxWaveZ: Should I put any points in endurance or strength?

In my opinion, no. But really, what are you looking for? A Pure Magic class? A melee/magic hybrid? Because with your questions, it seems that a Pyromancer would fit you better.

I want to play a pure magic class. All the questions are probably because I usually play a warrior in games but I'm getting kind of bored of that.

Every build should be putting points into endurance and vitality. Of course, you'll want to jack up your intelligence to at least 36 first and get some spell slots but health and stamina are important for EVERY build.

@FluxWaveZ:  no I am and it's great

@FluxWaveZ: I'm just saying you would normally run out of magic before a boss, if that's all your using.

@FluxWaveZ: no I'm a pyromancer/ melee guy

@FluxWaveZ: Alright thanks, sorcerer is already looking fun with all of those soul arrows. Having only 8 fireballs as a pyromancer to start with was what I didn't like most about it.
