I also equip the dagger as well in my off hand in order to get those bleed stacks going. Broadsword is the best weapon late game because it is the weapon meant for high agility and strength which all characters have at the demon king point. Also using amour breaker is kind of nice against bees and dark knight. Sometimes I use overrun in order to knock them down for crushing blow follow up. I heard you liked blitz, an i must suggest that using two weapons is much better than one when using blitz. A few ways I went about this is by using golems to get magic points (rough to get before getting exp, but getting one or two encounters isnt impossible) to boost gear. It sort of played out like the ranger run i did which was just a worse version of thief. My orc mage after being perked out ended up being 7, 6, 8, 6, 6, 5 until i got some gear later on, but it doesn't play like mage anymore. I also dont have enough total mana to win the fight. demon king has 75% magic protection and magic attaks just dont do enough. It is not a fun way to run since mage is just so bad after paralyze nerf. I use all of the pots i saved from the beginning of the game for the demon king fight, making sure i take time to drink them when i get the chance. For the mage run, I had to go with orcblood, mess around a bit with sleep spell (since paralysis got nerfed to oblivion) in order to create my own openings in a fight.
