MALE CHAR.
NOTE: Dark Silver Shields reduces your spell damage and give you magic defence Consumables:
*Old King's Armor OR Binded Set you need 30 END for this. light armor with highest def you can afford. Personal preference: i rather use the foe/friend ring instead of cling ring. This is more like a crossroad and you could put it in this way: |
Recommended spells/miracles |
Spell sets: - Soul Ray, Fire Ball, Homing Soul Arrow, Ignite (Light weapon if you decide to use another weapon) Those are my favorite spells Soul Ray does good dmg , interrupts and is faster than fireball at doing that also it is really good for PVE to have both fire and magic damage since some mobs have high resistance to either 1 of those. Homing Soul Arrow has many way to be used, i mostly cast it when i go into melee mode or when i run to heal myself but can be used for pretty much everything. FireBall is your main spell when you will want to kill from afar. Ignite is your life saver in the melee range if some1 is charging you, time it right and you will deal great damage, around 2x a fireball. Light Weapon along with TOB and 44 magic+ faith will deal great damage. having 44magic+faith makes TOB the best catalyst ever :D Cast it when you want to melee them , dont waste mana points if you aint planning on rushing them and melee them down. Miracle: - Second Chance You have 6 Slots there. i personally recommend : - Evacuate for farming |
Gameplay tips and progression |
This will take a while to be fully ready but its worth it =) -Silver bracelet 10% more souls this way and in that specific place you will get an insane amount of souls around 150.000 souls or more depends on NG level in less than 3 mins. Evacuate is a must for fast farm unless you feel like running :P To start up making this build end up the 1-1 kill phalanx to unlock other world . You can either focus on meleeing and then add the magic part or do the opposite and start as you would do with a pure mage. as for the magical start, increase int to 18 ASAP, This build will be really strong at SL 137 and as the tournament rules says 120-140 you should still be able to partecipate there :D How to fight: left arrow + right arrow +L1 + left arrow + right arrow + TRIANGLE this way you switch from shield to catalyst and from mirdan to kriss, you can cast then again switch to shield and mirdan when done. Thank You for your time , hope this guide helped you abit =) |
Myricae's Soul (SL 137)
I would like to ask if any of you knew a good wep to match up with this build and light weapon, if you know please let me know =)
I checked abit and i found 2 weapons that could be really good with this build and that stats are at range
1) Large Sword Of Moonlight to me this sounds cool giving 80% less dmg from magic when in block specially considering the equips this build wears not sure about its damage with 44 faith and sadly it cant be enchanted ;
2) meatclever… about this the str must change, this 1 can be enchanted by light weapon getting a good dmg boost but it also has an S in dex meaning to get a good dmg out of it dex must be increased aswell, right? :|
let me hear your opinions :p
Honestly i really like your build ^-^ it sounds very nice, though i may variate it slightly, perhaps you can provide help if this sounds right?
I wonder if it would almost be better (for my character at least) if i used the Kriss blade and a Talisman in left hand with Insanity Catalyst and soulbrandt in right
Using the Soulbrandt with pure white soul tendency seems to be unbelievably powerful, though i haven't had many weapons to compare to. I'd prefer if i could avoid having to find the talisman of beasts (even though it's amazing v.v;) simply because i have to seriously lower my soul tendency and that weakens the Soulbrandt.
sorry if my ignorance caused a big mistake >.<; though from what i've seen, would this be an acceptable replacement?
well insanity halves your MP and does less damage :| you can always go up with the tendency and getting the talisman of beast is really worth that effort :P
but thats up to you , if you rather use the insanity catalyst is your choice =)
forgot to mention this.
At Pure Black Character Tendency, the Soulbrandt has 120 + 120 Physical and 130 + 130 Magic attack power
also by having pure black you can get the Tob by talking with Mephistopheles and doing his quests =P
when you get the chance to upgrade the soulbrand and get the north regalia , if you would like to use this you must increase ur stats, 2 more in DEX and 14 in STR, this way you can 2h wield it =D
Hey there.
Fantastic build. From everything I've read, this is basically the perfect build for a magic user with some diversity.
One question though…
If the Dark Silver shield decreases magic damage, then wouldn't the Moon Mirdan Hammer be affected by this?
It seems like the magic damage would be negated by the shield…
ill check today and will give you an answer =P
also i confirmed that you dont need to have the 16 str to get the mag bonus from the shield.
