For trash enemies, I highly, highly recommend using the Glintstone Kris. The AoW on it is more efficient than any Sorcery you can actually cast, and it does tons of damage from nearly the same distance as Loretta's Greatbow. It also gets buffed by so many talismans too. Another extremely good item to have is a Clayman's Harpoon with the Ice Spear AoW. Ice Spear does absolutely insane poise damage with the projectile, but even more on top of that at melee range because you get a hit with the startup animation too. It only takes a few hits from the projectile to build up frostbite too, and it seems to do it much faster than Glintsone Icecrag. Glintstone Nails (Nails, not the garbage Nail) is for stance breaking. It seems to take as many casts as Rock Sling, but it's easier to hit with all of the projectiles. Lastly, Lusat's staff is still as overrated as it always was. It's terribly inefficient. It doesn't have a passive bonus on top of the shown scaling, it's just very poor wording. The increase in Sorcery damage is already baked into the scaling, that's all, yet spells still cost 50% more FP. NOT WORTH IT. Carian Regal Scepter is still the best general staff at 70+ INT and the other staves should be used for their passive bonuses...which Lusat's does not get. Your upgrade path should be Meteorite (at the very start) > Carian Regal. At 70 INT, Lusat's has 364 scaling (and costs 50% more) while Carian Regal has 330 scaling.
@@Piper0185 150 is really just for PvP anymore. For PvE most are going towards 200. But for 150 I would go with: VIG: 59 (*60) MIND: 20 (*X) END: 25 (*X) STR: 16 (*X) DEX: 13 (*X) INT: 80 FTH: 9 (*10) ARC: 7 The reason the spread looks like this is because I don't know what other gear you might want ot use, such as a Brass Shield, or DMGS. The *X is just a different number, but it requires you raising or lowering other stats. FTH in particular is good to take to 10 so you can use low requirement Incantations, but 12 is even better for stuff like Bestial Vitality and Flame Cleanse Me. Vagabond is also the class to start with. It has the best stat spread to meet the above at only 150 and the gear it starts with will make the early game A LOT easier.
I’ve been running a night sorcerer build, using 2x staff of loss for double the bonus to invisibility sorceries, then mainly damaging with fully charged night comets, with max casting speed and 3 dmg buffing talismans. Easily doing around 4K per shot on average
amazing build, truly effective in game. Most build i saw on youtube only work on very perfect situation like "dude after 20 buff you need to cast this! or else youre screwed" Using endure and defensive buff really give out lot for room for error when things doesnt work on your favor.
I mean, most shots he shows doing damage, he is fully buffed and even uses his physic flask for doing damage to trash mobs. The damage shown here is not really accurate for most world traversal.
Man I really appreciate all your builds. When you stopped making builds I stopped playing Elden ring. I’m glad you’re able to come back to it, and I noticed you make BG3 builds , I’ll definitely be looking at those as well. I can’t wait to try this build out now, was literally running around with your spellblade build and having a blast!!
Have you not ever tried making your own builds man? I’m not saying it’s wrong to use other peoples builds because I do that all the time as well when I find a cool one like this one but it’s also incredibly fun to create your own
@@cmdrravenwulff5272 no. But when someone who I like to watch makes a good build I can’t help but want to get on the game to try the build out that hes displaying , I’m pretty sure he wasn’t making end game builds since day one. So yes I can play the game without someone telling me how. I was just letting the creator know that he’s build help me getting more inspired to play the game.
Man, I didn't know blood sucking tear lasted whole 3 minutes. Anyway I was thinking about making int/faith build using new staff added in the dlc maybe you want to try as well?
@cRPGBro First of all thank you so much for all the awesome video content! Glad to see you've picked up Elden Ring again for the DLC. Second: Any suggestions for players who like to combine INT Mage with FAITH casters? I'm halfway through the DLC at lvl 250 at NG+ and I've got access to pretty much every INT/FAITH spell. Currently studying both your faith build video and this one, maybe a dual caster build video :P?
I didn't notice it being mentioned in the video, but I run a build very similar to this and I'm loving Divine Beast Frost Stomp with my mage as well, so much so It's often my go to for clearing large packs when just out adventuring. Damage is crazy and comes out super fast, or you can charge it for a bit slower release but it hits like a truck in a huge area. Truly fun ash of war.
I never commented before on your video but i never see a better content creator then you. I watch all your BG3 build regardless. All i want to say is keep the good work.
The staff with highest potential for damage is the prince of death one, but it scales with int and faith mainly, plus strenght as a secondary great stat to level up, and you're not showing up a really hybrid build. Having lusat's on the free hand nets you the damage buff though, so using both should do great for damage. Not so great for sp consumption as lusat's staff has it's penalty, yeah?
Sure, but if you're leaning into Impenetrable thorns, it's worth considering the Maternal staff with Int/Arcane instead. It has the same scaling as Lusat when the stats are equal. At 99 Int/Arc it has 430 vs the PoD at 448, only a 2% difference, while also having arcane scaling for blood loss.
It's not really that good anymore. The tracking on it is terrible, and while it's still actually fairly decent against larger enemies at closer range, on my current playthrough I found the Glintstone Kris the actual "carry" spell. It's more efficient than any Sorcery that you can actually cast, has an absurd range and gets boosted by many different talismans and armor sets. Before you can actually reach that point (it's a reward for the end of Sellen's quest), Ice Spear is hands down the best "spell" you can cast. Frost projectile that does TONS of stance damage. It's actually far better than Rock Sling for this, while having just a slightly shorter range, plus it builds up frostbite quickly. Against button reading BS enemies it also can work similarly to Night Comet. Because Ice Spear has two animations (the first adds even more stance damage at melee range), enemies tend to dodge the windup and not the actual projectile itself.
Hey really love the endure builds.I am going to get elden ring soon,which of the 2,faith or magic would you recommend for a beginner like me to use from the early game to dlc boss?
Apologies for the delay, I missed the comment. I think Faith is easier because you also have defensive buffs/regeneration spells you can use from the start as they all require FTH.
I appreciate this video. So much informative. But I can't agree with that endure + close range magic strategy such as zamor storm and rock blaster. If you go NG+7, then you will know why.
That can be true, but it's more due to the extreme challenge nature of NG+7. Sadly enemies get a very very big boost to damage so might as well either dodge or go Shields 😅
I'm going titan fighter right now dual wielding scythes. Right now only level 6 and he is busting ass right now once I get trickster or demon popping he is going to be a monster. Let crpgbro prepare himself mentally 1st. with all the games coming out we will get our Titan fighter build eventually
Hey, i've been following your guide just got small question, I'm currently reaching the end of the base game (haven't started dlc yet) I'm lvl 161, 80 int 60 vig 25 faith 35 mind, what stats should i puit my points from now? dump all to mind? or more vig int? Thanks for great guide
Around 40 Mind is a nice stopping point. You can even go 99 INT, it's diminishing returns but does increase damage slightly, and you have the points to spare. Endurance only if you want faster than Medium Rolling, but with Endure Ash of War it's not really needed.
99 INT since you have the points to spare. 99 FTH as well and use Prince of Death Staff since it has the highest scaling with both 99 INT/FTH. 99 VIG 99 MND because well... you have the points for it and at least it means almost never having to use FP flasks, but usually ~40-50 is enough for lower levels. STR, DEX, ARC aren't really necessary beyond stat requirements for gear/spells. You can put the rest into END for heavier armor & more stamina which gets drained on some spells.
Misericorde Dagger can be found at Stormveil Castle, it can then be infused with Magic by having the Glintstone Whetblade when applying the Endure Ash of War.
Love the guide but i do wish you had covered where to find each item and spell (especially the new ones) because im lazy. It just means ill have to go through the wiki and make a shopping list 😂
Most Ppl seems to have tried to push it up from 150 to 200 because of some stats reqs in some new gear items and spells. Base endurance is bad at 9 and such for PvP and invading as stamina is rolling and sprinting consume it. Also enables more dodging and rolling vs bosses. A good invader is just going to roll through some stuff or outright dodge it. And if they are out of stamina, it’s gg.
Well, if you're going with a Mage, then Impenetrable Thorns is definitely the easiest way! Otherwise my Dual Wield DEX Build does it pretty easily as well: ruclips.net/video/qv1hnuqahfk/видео.html
@cRPGBro it has the same cast time as impenetrable thorns. Just more balanced. Impenetrable thorns is way to broken and needs to be nerfed to the ground it carries everyone
I’m tired if people saying the spell is broken. You need all 3 thorns to hit for the big “broken” damage which only works at point blank range or on big bosses and even then you’re in range for their attacks. And also for the huge 20k+ damage you need to be wearing full Alberich’s plus rakshasha’s pants, double sorc masses, magic scorp talisman and bleed talisman. You are not tanky and need to upclose and enemies moving towards you can either leap over and walk over the thorns. And in PvP it only works if ur a phantom, try invading with a thorns setup and ur not casting the spell and if you do prepare to watch them jump hurdles to get to you. You can see people all the time running thorns and struggling because it’s not that broken.
@MidraLOFF I'm not reading all that. It is completely broken😅 doesn't take any skill. But let's stop it there. Use what u want have your opinion we don't have to argue.
@@Amarok457 If it’s broken then sacred oath, flame give me strength, alderichs set, rakshasha’s set are all broken. Try using the spell without this setup against a bleed immune enemy ur not getting anywhere. People will call for individual nerfs like this and wonder “Why are bleed builds still so strong” the root of the problem is the 20% health damage, not the spell. Be fucking for real
This might actually make me play the game. After seeing videos I see most people conform to the basic souls playstyle dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge, hit, dodge... etc. Which is super boring.
Terra magica is trash. You miss one of the most powerful spells. The black spell with many skulls, called something with Rankor. Spam this one and you do mostly a good job.
Sorcery builds are worthless in Elden Ring, especially SOTE. trash mobs 1 shot you and pretty much stun-lock you out of casting spells. doesn't matter what the potential damage of the spell is, its 0 for most enemies since you can't cast
I mean, I have an All Hit Run vs the final boss of the DLC and many others like Commander Gaius & Messmer + Rellana here using just Ice Storm with Ranni Set/Robes: ruclips.net/video/uRrDqxTukNg/видео.html
Arcane bleed build mage is one of the single best builds & I’ve walked through the dlc so mages clearly aren’t worthless… sounds like you just suck at putting a mage build together 😂
Glintstone Kris requires only 12 dex 5 str so every sorc should have one. It does full charged 3000+ damage with around 60-80 INT and only cost 10 fp, it outclasses even the new glintstone nail in efficiency and is the best way for a mage to deal with trash at range. You one shot messmer soldiers and can easily dispatch black knights with ranni’s dark moon + Glindtone kris AoW. Mages are definitely viable, and for bosses you just use thorns, you can 1st phase kill Bayle and others with thorns setup. You can easily kill Midra with Ranni’s moon + frost + thorns easily. And Radahn you just needa know his moveset and when to cast the spell.
For the Spell BUFFS & NERFS of Patch 1.13 and the New Best Sorceries, please check: ruclips.net/video/hSniGzjHaCk/видео.html

What would stat spread look like for this at say 150, using claymans?
Glintstone Icecrag is kind of garbage to me, I went through the game 4 times now on my cold sorcerer and I almost always use Adulas over that spell
@@Piper0185 150 is really just for PvP anymore. For PvE most are going towards 200. But for 150 I would go with:

If you can spare the levels its awesome just know you will have to be quite high level to make it work.

Godfrey Icon only works when you actually charge the spell. Fast casting won't apply it. Easy to test with Night Comet.
No mention of rock sling, which is a cheap spell that can carry you through out the whole game. Combine with arrows reach for increased range.
It's not really that good anymore. The tracking on it is terrible, and while it's still actually fairly decent against larger enemies at closer range, on my current playthrough I found the Glintstone Kris the actual "carry" spell.

Glad it was helpful!
amazing guide as usual
Much appreciated!
When they nerf thorns into the ground, double staff of loss and night comet is all you need. Maybe carian slicer
Zamor Ice Storm too!
Once again I'm back on your channel to enable me to play Elden Ring. Thanks!
now that impenetrable thorns is nerffed is the 25 faith for this build necessary anymore? and if not what would you put it in to
great content
Great video
Thank you!
Don't get excited about piercing thorns they nerf the shit out of it It's not strong anymore but it has better tracking

Mataram o espinho :( eu sabia que deveria ter zerado logo, demorei demais kkkkkkk
Endure+ Zamor Ice Storm é o melhor jeito agora😀
Have you tried carian sovereignty yet? I heard it gives hyperarmor if used on greatsword
I’m level 537 I shall make this build right neow !
One thing he doesn't tell you is ...if you have less number of scadu tree fragments... Then you do t get enough hits in
How are you taking so little damage from the bosses??
Endure and buffs
Endure + Buffs indeed, I have a guide on how to Tank here for all builds: ruclips.net/video/nX26vwGJKkg/видео.html
Zamot also eats godskin duo easily. A bit underrated spell.
Yep, it's been my favorite tool against most DLC content.
Ive not seen anyone test the damage of two regal sceptre staffs and the (now three) moon sorceries
I Feel like you should have included incantations options into this guide
i'm going to start using holy ground and endure immediately!
It's amazing!
Love the variety of spells used! I love mage builds. For a lvl 713 what do you recommend for a mage build
99 INT since you have the points to spare.
99 FTH as well and use Prince of Death Staff since it has the highest scaling with both 99 INT/FTH.
99 VIG
99 MND because well... you have the points for it and at least it means almost never having to use FP flasks, but usually ~40-50 is enough for lower levels.
STR, DEX, ARC aren't really necessary beyond stat requirements for gear/spells.
You can put the rest into END for heavier armor & more stamina which gets drained on some spells.
how to farm moglins by magic? which spells are the best?
I like how he hasnt yet said once New Game viable +8 😂
Does golden vow stack with tera magika for magic damage? U have the spell but don’t say if it stacks
Yes, they do.
I have a Max DMG Stacking Guide here with all buff sources covered: ruclips.net/video/6znl2iwXCwM/видео.html
15:18 Is the Magic Misericorde Made or found? Where?
Misericorde Dagger can be found at Stormveil Castle, it can then be infused with Magic by having the Glintstone Whetblade when applying the Endure Ash of War.
You left out a lot of new spells, including the putrescence ones.
Sadly I found them quite disappointing comapared to other spells.
Great guide but it’s not working, face tanking on ng+ with this isn’t working at all I can barely get a cast off without completely melting…
Are you using Endure and also properly casting Damage Negation buffs before entering the boss room?
Same for Holy Ground.
What if you don’t have the dlc
Hello, what’s that armor/set in 4:13??
Hi there!
It's the Snow Witch Hat + Lazuli Robe, I have an INT Build inspired by Ranni wearing it here: ruclips.net/video/uRrDqxTukNg/видео.html

I have a guide here on how to get MAX DMG: ruclips.net/video/6znl2iwXCwM/видео.html
is there still plenty of pvp at 160? why are people so fixated on 150
There’s plenty at 200 too, and many hybrid builds benefit from going that high.
Most Ppl seems to have tried to push it up from 150 to 200 because of some stats reqs in some new gear items and spells.
Base endurance is bad at 9 and such for PvP and invading as stamina is rolling and sprinting consume it.
Also enables more dodging and rolling vs bosses.
A good invader is just going to roll through some stuff or outright dodge it.
And if they are out of stamina, it’s gg.
so putting more then 80 in intelligent makes no difference? dam it 😅
It still adds spell damage, just very little!
But you can still increase it to 99 if you have the points to spare.
I know a brasilerio when I hear one ;)
Sim 😃
bruh i wish i had dlc to get this stuff
It's definitely worth it, lots of content!
and you were right it was nerfed
It's why I provided multiple alternatives to it, Zamor Ice Storm still rocks for example!
Of course the best spell is a faith ability.. not int
I could not beat Radan with this build seems overrated
Second! 🎉
Improved Initiative!
I can't beat radahn T_T
Well, if you're going with a Mage, then Impenetrable Thorns is definitely the easiest way!
Otherwise my Dual Wield DEX Build does it pretty easily as well: ruclips.net/video/qv1hnuqahfk/видео.html

I mean, I have an All Hit Run vs the final boss of the DLC and many others like Commander Gaius & Messmer + Rellana here using just Ice Storm with Ranni Set/Robes: ruclips.net/video/uRrDqxTukNg/видео.html
Arcane bleed build mage is one of the single best builds & I’ve walked through the dlc so mages clearly aren’t worthless… sounds like you just suck at putting a mage build together 😂
Glintstone Kris requires only 12 dex 5 str so every sorc should have one. It does full charged 3000+ damage with around 60-80 INT and only cost 10 fp, it outclasses even the new glintstone nail in efficiency and is the best way for a mage to deal with trash at range. You one shot messmer soldiers and can easily dispatch black knights with ranni’s dark moon + Glindtone kris AoW. Mages are definitely viable, and for bosses you just use thorns, you can 1st phase kill Bayle and others with thorns setup. You can easily kill Midra with Ranni’s moon + frost + thorns easily. And Radahn you just needa know his moveset and when to cast the spell.
Horrible dlc
No mention of rock sling, which is a cheap spell that can carry you through out the whole game. Combine with arrows reach for increased range.
I ended up removing the section about it as I felt the guide was long enough as is, but yes, it's really reliable for early & mid game!
