Unless you want the White Dragon Breath (which requires 50 intelligence), stop investing in intelligence right now. Post level 40 for any stat other than Vitality, you have DRAMATIC diminishing returns. What does this mean? It means that while the difference between casting soul arrow at level 20 compared to at level 40 is huge, the difference between 40 and 60 is miniscule.

What you should invest at this point is up to you. Endurance and Vitality both help tremendously for PvP; End. stops benefiting you at level 40 in terms of stamina gained but vitality is good for a few more levels. If you want to get the most out of your Chaos Blade, start investing in Dexterity, too. It's a formidable weapon at high dex levels.

It sounds like you have fairly low attunement. I'd suggest that you get at least 3 slots to get the most of your high intelligence stat.

I would advise against getting more resistance or faith. Resistance is a pretty useless skill since most of your protection is from your items and humanity, while you only have so many attunement slots and it'd be dumb to stop casting magic at this point just so that you can use a couple of miracles.
