Good for late NG/NG+?

Definitely going to try this build out, when I've gathered all the gear (Havel's set mostly). Is the gear good enough for late NG and NG+ with it's original stats or should I update them ASAP? Using Alva +10 at the moment but I'm expecting Havel's Set to be tankier than that..
