Sounds more like a song of wine and cheese. They scale differently though and I wanted to do a bit of sorcery too. I'm doing a build similar to this

Yeah that’s the only thing that sucks about it is it’s not easy to scale both. It’s not really cheesy due to that, there’s plenty of better stuff I’m sure, especially since I’ve never seen anyone else doing it. That tells me it probably sucks in reality. It just feels good swinging those two big bastards together. Bleed, frost, and the range from the moon sword special. Staggering the shit out of people.

Got Margit down really easy, think I leveled a bit too much before hand. The Castle is messing me up now though. The big armored dudes wont go down as easy as the rest and I make many mistakes. Also lost all the runes from Margit as I forgot to use them and died before I could collect them again. 
Got to learn to spend stuff before I venture forth.

Rivers of Blood R2 spam with a decent amount of Mind also works wonders in that fight. Esp with a mimic doing the same thing, given how weak her poise is. Still have to learn her attacks (especially on phase 2) but it's the easiest way I found to win.

Trying to figure out whether I want to use Moonveil or Dark Moon Greatsword for the Journey 2 battle-mage build. I could get a second Moonveil and power-stance too.
Comet Azur seems to miss pretty much everything except big slow targets, kinda disappointed in it. I prefer Stars of Ruin, even though it does less damage, because it can be spammed. Founding Rain of Stars is also good for setting up a "trap" of sorts, functions like the rain spells in EQ, so cast that right before engaging and then it'll drop while you're fighting. Can charge that up too, need to see if charging up works on the others.
Haven't really messed around with any other spells yet. Need to find the rest of the Memory Stones I missed.

Go with Dark Moon, you'll find moonveil underwhelming compared to it

This is the video to watch if you want to use DMGS:
Milo's is cool with a lot of greatsword builds, but jellyfish shield (and generally just two-handing the sword when attacking will be more effective then dual GS L1's) is definitely the way to go with DMGS.
I'd put post-nerf Moonveil at 5th best int weapon. Maybe. There's probably something else I'm forgetting, but at minimum Wing of Astel, DMGS, Death's Poker, and a Lucerne w/Glintstone Pebble AoW are all better choices.

Moonveil is a nice weapon for fast enemies and in general early/mid game with small opponents but I don’t get the OP comments about it. The stagger and damage from dark moon is so much better.

look for a great sword or colossal weapon that scales with whatever you’re using now and try that on the big armor dudes. A jumping heavy attack with those usually staggers them and if you get a few in a row you can stance break them for an r1 crit. Jump heavy attack, roll away and repeat.- 1

Yeah, there's nothing OP about it at all now. Pre-nerf Moonveil had massive stance break potential on the L2-R2 special. Post-nerf, it's just a katana that does pretty good damage at medium range and doesn't really stagger or stance break at all unless you connect with the blade itself. Even then it really doesn't stagger much.

Ah ok, guess I didn’t realize it got nerfed. Not sure if I used it before the nerf because I never felt like it was OP. I just liked that it was fast, like every katana really.

It's Lightning Fortification but he has the particle effects cranked up(Hacked version of the spell, probably just for the look.)
