If you ignore everything but Attunement, Intelligence, and Faith for the earlier levels, this can eventually become a good hex build. However, the real advantage of Deprived is that it starts at SL 1. That means it takes less souls to level up early game than other classes, so molding a Deprived into a ideal character is easier early game for simpler builds. Also, this is the perfect class to use for a mundane weapon build, so there's that.
