I run an int build and I got walled by Rennala. I sort of appreciated it, too - I was getting way too reliant on Moonveil and it forced me to pick up another weapon. Now I'm using the poison Serpentbone katana and the double slash is admittedly more fun.
I’ve respecced to Int several times because I really like having frostbite, and idk what the hell I was doing wrong but I’ve never had success with it. Like at the same level I can have like 8 casts of lightning spear which kills an enemy in 2 hits, or I can switch to int and get 12 casts of glint pebble that does no damage, or 2-4 casts of rock sling or another strong spell which take 4 hits to kill.
Frostbite’s cool, but I won’t give up lightning spear for it.
You've got to swap some potions to FP and make use of some of the other spells. Adula's Moonblade hits hard and applies frostbite. Rykard's Rancor is good against large and slow enemies or groups. Comet Azur can melt most bosses. Cannon of Haima for AOE. Greatblade Phalanx for stagger. Carrier Piercer for knockdowns and to punish rolls. Carian Slicer does enormous damge and comes out very fast. Night Comet to negate input dodging AI. Rock Sling for stagger and physical damage. Gravity Pull spells to pull flying enemies down to earth. Invisible weapon for PvP shenanigans.
There are a lot of options for powerful Int weapons to pair with magic, as well as a lot of physik and talisman combos to try out.

Well shit. I wish I'd figured that out before grinding out my dex and picking up a new katana... but I appreciate the tip!
Cheese sorcery is more rock sling. Shit works against even anti mage bosses.
Yeah, I don't understand the Comet Azur thing, I was cheesing stuff with rock sling if I wanted to beat stuff. Staggers bosses like nobodies business.
Then I decided to simply dedicate myself to becoming as orb and shooting moons as it is oddly enjoyable.
