Putting 11 levels into Intelligence or Faith would be pretty useless at this stage, since you won't be able to use the upper "tier" of sorceries/miracles, such as Soul Spear or Great Heal.

Thanks for the answer. I just realized that SL 122 is quite optimal because then you can still fight all the way down to SL 100 (where some seem to stop) with the red soapstone.
