UPDATE: Carian Sorcery Sword has been buffed! It ties for the best staff at 40 int with the demi human staff. However, at 60+ int it is not as good as most of the other staves in the game. It is a lot more viable of an option now.
Also be prepped for the Impenetrable Thorns nerf, bleed on spells is explicitly not supposed to scale with the arcane of the catalyst, it was a nerf done way back in 1.03. It's a bug which is juicing the spell's performance into unreasonable territory
@@Data-AnalystSera this is wrong, bleed on spells is supposed to scale with catalysts arcane. they just nerfed it slightly, but its still supposed to
Providing the chart at the beginning instead of at the end, Youwy da 🐐
Spitting in the face of the algorithm, what a hero

R.E.S.P.E.C.T this channel just earned a sub
When a creator does stuff like this it inspires loyalty enough that even if I have all the info I need I let the video play on in the background without sound, to pump those viewership metrics
I love the fact that you talk about the scaling at different levels instead of just ranking them, this is why this channel is amazing
Yeah I love that most people just say basic stuff he shows the numbers which is great for mid maxing
Agreed, putting thing under a rank simplifies every reason why it's that rank, defeating the purpose
I was under the impression that Staff of the Great Beyond had terrible spell scaling. I'm pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong. I'm very excited to get my hands on it.
It’s really not that bad at all. I’m around 70 faith and int right now and I used it for about half the DLC (in Journey 2 btw). The damage isn’t the most optimal, but it’s still good enough, especially if you know what you’re doing. The only time I switched to individual staves and seals was during certain bosses, specifically the final boss
It's totally fine at the kind of level you'd be stopping for PvP. At high stats and compared to casting tools dedicated for a single spell type it's going to be weaker but that's a reasonable tradeoff for convenience. At 45/45, it's literally the strongest int/fth staff and by a decent margin as well.
It’s fantastic. The versatility of being able to have one spell for every elemental damage type (including physical with gravity sorceries!) always ready to go means if you play smart and deduce what things are weak to you always have a good damage option. Plus it just promotes a really fun variety playstyle. Put it with rellana’s swords, SoNaF, or any of the smithsciprt weapons that get SDIF scalings and you feel like you’re getting a huge variety of options in a playthrough.
@@yadeel8281 I keep seeing lots of people saying its thier second or third time through the dlc. Are you guys literally beating the game and going to ng +1,2,3 ect? Or are you cloud saving, and just restarting from and old save?
@@jakeryan2805 This isn’t my second time through the DLC. I played through the whole game once and played through it again on Journey 2 all before the DLC came out. I didn’t make a new character going into the DLC I just used the same save, so I’ve only beaten it once
This has become my info channel of choice for the new Elden ring content
This channel and Chrightt
@@seanconnors1613nah just youwy
Vaati for lore rusty for entertainment youwy for when you want to actually git gud
@imbatmanlol Chrightt actually takes into account several factors that Youwy doesnt, like motion values, use cases, pvp viability, and weaknesses. He's also informed on the fact that split damage isn't actually shit anymore. For a guy that likes optimizing the fun outta a game, Youwy also gets a lot of shit wrong.
@@ToasterDsG This.
Youwy has lots of dubious takes when ranking his weapons
The sorcery sword is good only for using non-attack magic like Thops's Barrier or Scholar Shield so you don't have to switch between your weapon and staff.
Yeah, this sword definitely favors sorceries that don't rely on catalyst scaling - Scholar Shield, like you mentioned, would work well with this (especially because it's a thrusting sword, shield poke for days), Miriam's Vanishing. You could even go with Fia's Mist, since you only need to care about the minimum stats to cast the sorcery.
it is also a way of having a weapon, shield AND staff at the same time without having to switch weapons.
Yeah it’s good for shield poking since it’s a thrusting sword and you can easily cast scholar’s shield
Night maidens mist all day
I get that, but at the very least give it a passive buff to melee sorceries to give it some more versatility.
As it stands it only favors low INT builds
4:27 That's the first time I noticed Radagon's goddamn bakery down there
um what?
I love how straight to the point and concise these videos are, much appreciated content.
Oof, and here I was, excited to actually play a Sword & Board Mage-Knight using the Carian Sorcery Sword instead of a regular staff…
just wait for the inevitable buff. And I mean inevitable, the incant scaling on the sword still scales with intelligence instead of its best attribute (dex), so it's just a matter of making the spells scale with dex, or making it scale better with int, or a myriad of choices.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd
Well, that sounds nice, everything I’ve seen in this DLC is really amazing and opens up a lot of opportunities, but it’s underpowered compared to base game stuff, and I really, REALLY want them to at least be competitive with base game, I’m running “Cleanrot” build with Rot and Miracles, and the only thing I added since the DLC is the Crucible wings.
I think even if it’s not fantastic doing builds that are themed are cooler than doing only what’s meta anyway
Carian thrusting shield. Staff in right hand, use the thrusting shield for melee without swapping weapons, while still having a decent shield.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd you shouldn't expect buffs, they always leave a lot of underpowered stuff without any change in these games. It's cool that they finally separated pvp from pve though, and it seems that they are more willing to make changes since that happened, but yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up.
One of the most informative videos I’ve seen for Elden ring. Bravo brother. Exquisite detail
So...the *Carian Sorcery Sword* is a Carian sword that doubles as a catalyst...but doesn't boost Glintblade Sorceries...
Excuse me, but what the actual f-?
I'm always excited when you post a new video, I know what I'm going to watch during my post work workout.
Goated video goated streamer day 10
yo man, respect the hell out of you. been watching the rankings over the past week or so, your info is always so accurate and you provide a great insight on all the reasons why you rank things the way you do. youre the goat man
Absolutely fantastic choice showing the chart, I always forget which are better
I love how much info Youwy shares in these vids. U should be proud of the quality of ur ER vids sir. 🙏
Love the staff of the great beyond, i swear miyazaki reading my mind somewhere cuz i wanted an ability to sekiro deflect/lies of p perfect guard and a staff that can cast spells and incantations
its nice to see you growing so fast youwy deserve 100% of it man
A video on your favorite weapons regardless of in game power could be cool. Or a general review of the DLC. Either way I started watching when you originally ranked the builds in elden ring and you've improved how I build my characters a shitload and I basically watch every video now. Thanks Youwy!
Already made it for the base game
Mentions his favourites in the best dlc weapons video
Killing it with the videos dude!
Yo Youwy i really liked how you talked about max level in this one. Would love if you could always do that in your videos if it fits. Really helps with my max level loadout. There are not many creators who talk about that in their videos (which is understandable)
Unbelievably good info in this video.
Subbed
HOLY CRAP almost 100k subscribers! And half of that in less than a year... Congratulations, man🎉🎉🎉
it would be cool if the carian sorcery sword had a hitbox when casting melee sorceries, so like with carian slicer you'd hit with both the spell and the sword at once, giving it an edge.
Epic content lately, one of the best ER channels. ❤
You’re killing these videos brotha.
That is an amazining video of explaining everything in details.thnx
Personally, I prefer comfortable play over optimized play, so when I get around to doing my int/fth build again I'll certainly be using the Great Beyond. So long as a dual stat casting tool can reach 320 or above at 60/60 it is worth using in my opinion.
Yep things start to get too op at a certain point anyways
Right before the dlc I made a split build with blasphemous and moonlight it was so annoying having all my slots filled no diddy 😅I also used black knife
Great order and prince are good but it’s way easier not having to switch I was waiting for a dual cast tool
@@xAndrewWolf the new dual cast staff is goated on the right hand with a dueling shield on the left hand for viscerals
I personally have my int/fai at 46/46 currently and my incant scaling is 310
Bro is out here producing 10/10 vids, I'm loving the info! ❤
The streak remains alive!
Thank you 🫡
Dragon communion seal is better at lvl +150 as it laks a softcap after 30 for bothe Arcane anf Faith
Bro you've been gaining like 10k subs a day! 100k by tomorrow, I'm calling it! Keep up the good work!
Great video! No adds, no bs, straight to the point! Have my Sub!
Man, when I first looted that sword and read the item description I screamed "blue flame is back!" internally and was sooo disappointed at the performance. Really hope the scaling gets fixed in a patch it doesn't need S scaling but as long as it gets spellbuff at least comparable to the weaker staffs it will still be fun.
Yeah I don't expect a sword to be the best staff in the game but at least I expected it to be better than the early game staff that can't even be upgraded.
Dark Souls 2 really spoiled us with good weapon catalysts
I was praying they'd add something like Staff of the Great Beyond. Love spellcaster builds and hated having to switch catalysts with hybrid builds. I expected the versatility to come at the cost of a damage reduction but I'm fine with that. Also like the staff design.
Had no idea we had a staff that could use both till I saw this comment, thanks gonna go get it
Showing the chart at the beginning is a big W. Followed.
Maternal staff has the best arcane scaling so now that's the bleed staff
Nice video bro😄
You provide the most objective opinions on stuff and also the best information out there, keep up the good work !
Just beat the dlc and now im watching all of your videos lol
We need more catalysts that casted both and or a weapon to cast incantations
Dryleaf Arts with casting L1's would be peak
Whats good youwy GANG! 🐐
8:00 the best way to mitogate the damage ossue os by using the appropriate talismans as both versions of the the incant and sorcery talismans that boost damage can be used together
My og character is a 50/50 split faith int build. I can’t wait to get into this dlc!
I don’t think Youwy broke his upload streak. What a G
I’m still rocking the frenzied flame seal but I might have to try out that dry leaf seal for my troubles
Hey, test briars of sin with the staff of the guilty for me please? I found it strange you didn’t include it.
Wouldn’t that be the most optimized option or is the staff you mentioned better?
am happy the int/faith staff is good, am using golden order seal with sword of night and flame, dlc gave me a lot of cool int/faith equipment, like relannas twin light greatswords and the scriptsmith weapons. also new faith sorceries. DLC SO FUCKING GOOD
Yep I was glad I decided to go with my Fai/Str dude for my first play through 🦾
I plan to use the Great Beyond because I like having a mix of incants and sorceries, but I’d rather have the convenience of not having to constantly manage the menu since there are other ways of boosting my spell damage beyond just base scaling. It is nice to know though that Dryleaf boosts all the Order incantations too, not just Multilayered. I use Discus a ton, so that’ll be convenient for the off hand passive as a replacement for the Golden Order seal.
10:20 IT DOES WHAT!! I need to know more, my current build is a golden order build by using all the rings of light spells.
I would really love a video on the dry leaf seal and other equipment to know how all of this interacts with each other, so far as i know no one is really talking about the seals and spells of the dlc.
For the seals that boost a spell group is it better to have two or just one in the office hand? Thinking of fire Knight and the one that boosts spiral spells
Great video!
Thanks for saying which spells are miquellas
Stuff of Great Beyond is great to have all the utility and buff spell at your beck and call paired with weapons like Sword of Night and Flame and Rellana's Twin Blades that scales from Int and Faith.
Never clicked on a video so fast
Staff of the great beyond is great for a 60 int/faith build that wants to primarily use sorceries but also have access to things like golden vow, law of regression, and heals.
Astounding that From went through all of the work putting so many new casting options in just to make them obsolete before the dlc came out.
So if your max level, which staff should you use? I use staff of loss in each hand for night sorceries. Are there stronger staffs and spells combinations at max level?
4:19 youwy trying his hardest to make fire rain do something and failing is hilarious to me
for the staff of teh great beyond, its great for niche builds that actually use the utility side of one of the spell schools and damage from the other. i play str/fth, i would love this staff as it lets me use one casting focus to apply both scholar shield to my fingerprint and my faith buffs/healing.
Came from TikTok. Your vids are great🎉
a catalyst that casts spells and incants my dream come tru (i called it check the receipts)
do the 20% special bonuses stack? like if i have a dragon communion seal in my offhand and one in my main hand, do the two 20% bonuses stack or do they cap out at 20%?
what talismans do you recommend with the dryleaf seal + golden order seal combo?
good shit
I've seen the thorn sorcery spell nuke so much stuff it's crazy. Good data. Spirit ashes? Oh man I'm hype. How good is Taylew ACTUALLY like an FSW Pokémon video lmao 🎉🎉
Question , with my current stats , I get my highest scaling from the frenzy flame seal , I should just use that right until that changes ?
Is luscats staff still going to be the best just for damage no matter the level? Ignoring the additional fp cost
How does the Dragon Communion Seal stack up against these new seals? Or is it not applicable because of the different stat scaling?
Thanks for the video ! Could you make an in-depth ranking of sorcery staves please ? I have a hard time deciding between Lusat and Azur staves (the only two I want to use for cosplaying reasons) with matching crown and spells. I enjoy throwing maxed out Stars of Ruin with Lusat (especially for dodging ennemies), but Azur (with Comet) is many time the only choice allowing me to cast spells if the boss put a hard pressure on me (because of cast speed).
Power stance the Carian Sword with the Frozen Needle main hand for some fun spamming frost bolt and night shards. The spell cast then replace the Ash of War button. *pew pew pew* :)
I feel there is an easy way to make it more viable though, while not completly broken : just make the sorcery scale off of DEX in addition to INT (similar to Frenzied Seal).
thx. waiting for DLC unique ashes of war tier list ^^
So does the carian sorc sword get a bonus from multi hits using carian? Or does it still perform poorly even with that D:
I spent 70 hours in the DLC just beat it and I only found one seal
Skill issue
Kinda how I feel as a mage with zero spells and zero staffs found in about 30 hours. I’m used to 99% of rewards being weapons I can never use without respeccing but this is a lil shitty. Definitely doesn’t help that I’ve heard even the already small number of new spells and staves are shit anyways
@@monhi64 if you haven’t got most spells in thirty hours that’s a you problem
@@Crustacean-ht1ug lol you’re real miserable dawg ain’t ya. Like why are you here just leaving loads of hate comments
the 100k subs are sooo closeeee😊
How much incant boost are the boosts to specific spell schools worth? I know I can look the % up on the wiki but I don't know how that translates to the incant/sorc boost stat.
Staff of the great beyond is all that ive wanted for a pure caster. I can cast everything at max speed with azur in the offhand and have the convenience of not checking if it was a sorcery or incantation. Just experiment with all combinations!
I'm hoping that the Carian Thrusting Sword is bugged given how bad its spell scaling seems to be. That and if Fromsoft were to actually display its casting value on the weapon info (below the critical multiplier like on staves) it would be a lot nicer.
Are we getting new best weapons etc videos including the dlc?
one thing with the staff of the great beyond, it lets you have incants, sorceries, AND a weapon all at once.
sure its not "optimal" as far as numbers go, but the utility is undeniable!
Good video
so i get with the scaling certain seals/staves become better but if i wanted to use lets say Black Flame as my main damaging incantation, would the god slayer seal be better at 80 faith or would the erdtree seal be better
So if I’m level 323 and I’m using faith with mostly lightning inventions with the occasional black flame for big bois, should I be on the dragon seal or golden order seal?
I really appreciate the testing and time and speed of these videos, but I think it would be really funny if you ranked something that we only got like 2 of, just to see the thumbnail saying ALL 2 _____
so just asking but what faith level is the frenzied frame seal best for, because i have been rocking it at +10 and it absolutally shreds enemies like budpriest or tree spirit when using flame of the fellgod incantation
0 faith, because it lacks requirements. You can use it on a pure int build to cast spells like causality and regression.
Alternatively, you can be like me and min max your build so that frenzy seal is optimal, but that requires heavy stat spread and not more than 16 points into int because then the golden order seal becomes an option, and not more than 29 into Str because then clawmark overtakes frenzy in scaling.
I halt dex at 34 because that plus radagon icon is the last cast speed breakpoint (64) before max (70). The rest of your points should go into fai, but if I remember correctly, it still won’t be the best option until you reach 52 or 53 fai to overtake dryleaf and godslayers.
Any advice on a build that would make use of the 80/80 max damage from the golden order seal and not be complete garbage due to the resource investment?
Damn bro you even made a chart with complimenting level for the staffs and seals!? Damn bro you kick ass
Youwy with the numbers.
So if im max level the best seal is golden order one and the best staff is lusats? Or do i just place lusat in the offhand for the damage boost and use other one
Had no idea you could use that sword for spells lol Was disappointed when i found it but thats a dope feature
If I have 24 faith and 60 arcane, is the dragon communion seal better
What’s more op incantations or sorcery
Is staff of the guilty worth considering with the new thorns spell?
I'm a Str/Fth build with 50 strength and 50 faith. I've been using the Clawmark seal due to its scaling. Should I switch to Dryleaf?
which seals are best for a str/fth build?
5:00 There are some int arc weapons. Both of the Echoaid weapons scale with these stats more or less directly. Especially their ash of war so paired with those that staff might not be the worst option to use.
I kinda want to try some spell combos between sorcery and incantations. I feel like going 80/80 is kinda ridiculous so the great beyond staff is good for me. The most I see myself going is 60/60.
Gravatation Missile + Multilayered Ring of Light sounds like a fun combo.
Bro REFUSES to miss an upload 😭
The thing of the great beyond is the combos and that you can and should pair it with azur's.
just found this channel after the dlc. it's no nonsense, all information from a likable source. keep up the excellent work
