Y'all are stupid. I get it if mage builds aren't some people play style but it is viable.

My stats are 25/40/25/15/25/25/60. This puts my Greatsword of Judgement at 706 damage output when buffed. I don't think I've ever ran out of FP during duel once with 40 ATT. My Crystal Sage staff is a beast with all necessary rings for a mage build. If someone pressing me too hard I spam that Flashsword which can cut peoples health down FAST. Soul Greatsword BEAST (and it goes through walls). Deep soul has low cost and is good to just get people rolling into you and then you hit them with Dark Edge which does good damage and quick casting speed. Crystal Spear if you hit with it, cuts health down to at least half usually way more. Then I just use a couple other spells to throw people off or surprise them with. When you're a mage, yes you're limited to you're weapons but MLGS is just as viable with this build doing about 640 damage. Also the Crescent Moon Sword does around 450 damage.

I'm not saying that SORC builds are stronger or as strong as other builds but if you like the play style and are willing to work to git gud, screw em.
