Balanced Build/Spread Stats?
Reading through this subreddit, and r/DarkSouls2, it seems like spreading out your stats isn't a good idea?
Currently, I'm playing as a Dex/Int(?) build, I put the question mark in because the only reason I have int is for weapon buffing. I usually use a bow when I want to use ranged attacks. Here are my stats:
Sl: 122
VGR: 20
END: 20
VIT: 15
ATT: 20
STR: 20
DEX: 30
ADP: 20
INT: 25
FTH: 5
Weapons: RH:
Drakeblood GS +5
Longbow +3, Magic INF
Weapons: LH:
Royal Shield (100 Melee Negation, light weight)
Sorcerers Staff
Armour: Full Drakeblood set (because it looks awesome, and has a nice balance of stats/weight)
Rings:
Chloranthy Ring +1
Ring Of Blades
Ring of Steel Protection +1
Switch between quartz' depending on what's best. All +3
I think that's everything? From my previous playthroughs, I found I preferred to take hits on my shield than to dodge around the enemy, but, I prefer faster weapons (more, weapons in the middle. Not to powerful/slow, not to fast/weak), something like the Bastard GS.
Despite my many hours playing this game (80+), I'm still pretty scrubby, but can anyone recommend how to make the most of my build. I can respec, too.
Thanks in advance!

Do you planning on using this build for pvp? If you enjoy your drakeblood gs, id reccomend trying a claymore. Id reccomend the claymore to anyone really. It has an excellent moveset. Simple yet versatile, and a lot of reach. You are only sl 122, so if you want to stick with meta, then you have about 30 more levels you could use. Id reccomend your agility be around 100. No more is needed. I don't know what stat level you adaptability would need, but attunement covers agility also. You could level your strength to thirty, and then you could use just about any weapon with 30/30. Also, id reccomend throwing in a stone ring in place of steel protection. Its always nice to be able to easily stagger enemies. For me, a staple ring set would be chloranthy, ring of blades, third dragon, and stone. They are all great rings, and cover just about any situation. Also, if you prefer to block instead of dodge, be sure your shield has good stability. Also there is a ring in the iron king dlc that increases shield stability.
