Title is a bit mislesding; I've started the game twice and beaten Vordt twice, but I haven't gone any further past that. I plan to play a dedicated caster this time around.

I went tank in DS1 and unga bunga in DS2, so I figured I would do something different for 3.

If caster, go int. Way more versatile than faith imo unless you're mostly co-oping

I forgot my build since it's been what 4 years since I was hardcore into DS3 but I have a caster build that can hit hard with sorcery and melee that I used to style on Nameless King, the final boss, and invaders just for the hell of it

Caster type pros and cons:

Pyromancy:

+Good Damage
+Good Cost-Efficiency
+Good Casting Speed
+Near-Perfect Damage Coverage (only 1 enemy resists both dark and fire)
-Extremely Poor Range
-Extremely Poor Projectile Speed
-Lack of Good Utility Spells

Miracles:

+Highest Potential Damage
+Great Range
+Best Utility Spells
+Poise Casting Frames
-Hit or Miss Damage Coverage (Lightning is either very good or very trash, depending on the enemy)
-Low cost efficiency
-Highest damage spells need to be used at point blank range.
-Sluggish Casting Speed

Sorcery:

+Best Range
+Great Damage (all ranges)
+Decent Cost-Efficiency
-Slow Casting Speed
-Worst Damage Coverage (most things resistant to magic are also resistant to dark)
-Utility Spells often synergize better with non-caster playstyles.

Does it need to be a Sorcery catalyst or something?

Sorcery is casted with staves. Pyromancy with a Pyromany Flame. Miracles with either Talismans or Chimes.

Just a heads up since you're a sorcerer, once you find the sorcery merchant, try not to beat another boss until you give him a scroll. Otherwise he'll fuck off forever

It's not entirely true. I think that you have to give him a scroll before beating any five bosses or a Lord of Cinder boss.

First DLC you talk to an NPC next to a bonfire in the fairly early-middish game. You won't miss him. Second DLC you reach the final boss or complete the first DLC.

You don't need STR as a caster. DEX is useful to increase casting speed, though.

It took me a long, long time until I felt confident enough to actually fight that Outrider Knight instead of just cheesing him. It's pretty scary to fight.
