so I'm level 35 now

vit - 16

attunement - 12

Endurance - 14

strength 22

dexterity 20

resistance 13

intelligence 13

faith 8

and I'm running around with a +2 shield and a +4 divine Halberd, I feel like I'm way to far behind myself, I just killed the hydra and tried going down to the drakes but they wyvern things were giving me trouble unless I run behind them and hit their backs while getting swept around with their wings and not getting hurt.

but yeah, I feel like my build has been messed up.

@BirthWild: That looks alright to me, nothing too bad. I would focus on getting your Vitality, Endurance, and then Strength or Dex up depending on the weapons you use. If you plan on going elemental (Lightning weapons etc, most people seem to find them to be the most effective, especially at lower levels), then just get your Vitality and Endurance up. You shouldn't be going to the Valley of the Drakes at level 35 I don't think. I'm 53 and still haven't been there yet.

you seem to be doing fine if you killed the hydra already .. you will want more faith if you want the most out of you divine weapon , then possibly you wll want to pick up some useful miracles , that or ditch the divine weapon and get a lightning weapon as they seem to be perfect for any class , but youre doing amazingly well at such low soul level .. keep it up :D

youll probably want to decide if you want heavier armor or more plain reistance and/or vitality , and what kind of weapons you really want , strength based heavy weapons or dex based fast attack weapons

so far your build is fine tho

Looks decent enough. I would stop upgrading the divine halberd and get a new weapon. It scales off of faith and greatly reduces the scaling of other stats. That's very very bad considering you aren't a faith build. At this point it would be a bad idea to try and raise your faith enough to make it worth it. You'd be spreading out your stats to much. Your str and dex are being wasted by using a divine weapon.

Secondly, pick between str or dex. Don't raise them both up unless you need to meet the requirements of a weapon. Another option is to raise them both up to whatever requirements for your equipment (I'm guessing you've already hit that point) and completely forget about them for now. Make an elemental weapon, preferably lightning, and then pump vitality and endurance. You need way way way more endurance than what you have. Stamina is everything in this game. I cannot emphasize that enough. Later on in the game once you hit the point where points in endurance aren't beneficial to you anymore, then you can ignore it. Feel free to ignore the elemental suggestion if you want. I'm just suggesting what most people are doing now. If you want to be unique then go ahead and try your own ideas. The community won't evolve if people don't experiment a little.

aww man, thanks all for the knowledge I'm running around in the blight town now it's going swimmingly, I'll be applying this knowledge into my build now.

I'd say skip the drake valley for now until you can get a pretty snazzy weapon. That place was a bitch the last time I tried to venture through.
