its not bad, pretty solid build. i was initially surprised since you said dex/fai + SLB | DMB i was gonna think id see the classic 'Brandon Build' but no yours is pretty solid. i have a few qualms however. At level 156, it sounds like a good idea to join the BotD covenant so you can invade lower level players/anyone with sin, however since your such a high level player, you wont be getting many summons, souls are scarce to farm if you do play offline or dont co op/pvp and the BotD rarely gets a good score of pvp sessions. unless you switch in/out the Darkmoon Blade ring, you wil be a bit of a lone wolf.

for PvE, your build again is pretty solid, withstand some nicks and clips, take on a Royal Sentinel or two, but the limit of casts and only two spells, which are filed means all of your DPS relies on your uchigatana w/o buff until you get to the boss fog. co op, yes but co op your always going to get the frequent invader, which will use up one of your casts. if you were say, NG+3/+4 and you had two spells of each nd four slots yeah itd be ok for PvE but apart from spells, the Uchi's moveset is very useful for fending off a few enemies, a swarm would require a sweep attack like the rolling attack. the Uchi has a decent swing speed, enemies with pise under...5 i think will be stunlocked by this and should die. Heavy Armoured enemies again will shrug off your poise-damage and may/may not use up one of your buffs.

its a great build, but it does ahave a few flaws. which is good, that means its not OP, cheap and whatnot. Only haters your gonna get are the ones who LOVE specific builds and cant adapt to the enemy. good job.
