  • This video goes over the most optimized, strongest, most OP, most powerful Mage build you can make in Elden Ring. It's catered towards absolutely destroying the mid and late game and leaving them without any traces in Elden Ring. We go over everything in this Mage Elden Ring guide, sorceries, build, staff, gear, summons, tips, extra buffs, talismans, flask of wonderous physick, the optimal stat distribution. We also go over Patch 1.03 in Elden Ring and what this patch truly means for us mages in Elden Ring and what we should start using. Enjoy!

    While testing Glintstone Pebble and it’s upgrads, I discovered something interesting. Pebble doesn’t provoke agro from near by enemies, or at the very least, it’s range is dramatically reduced. Using Swift and Great Shard for example, I noticed that every time I killed with it, a near by enemy would come in to investigate. Pebble has no such reaction. These test were done at the Gatefront Ruins. Wanted to share this hidden utility that has been quite useful to me.

    • @d3c0yBoY
      @d3c0yBoY Před 2 lety +10

      Quick update: Comet shares the properties as Pebble. Definitely an upgrade, though it may not be sustainable due to FP cost. It is still an option if you suspect the enemies won’t die to 1-2 cast of Pebble.

Picked it back up on a whim a couple of weeks back and started fresh. Found this series of videos and after 52hours of ingame time I just beat radagon/elden beast yesterday.

After I got my Int to 80 and Mind/Vigor to 40, I got Endurance to 30 and now I can wear actually good armor, I think it's worth to boost it to wear better armor, also helps to chain cast spells and dodge roll out of harms way. Still mostly using Rock toss, even on Malenia was great. I did replace Pebble with the new one you showcase in the video.

    Black Kinfe Tiche is also a good summon. She does percent damage and she is very good at dodging. She melts tanky bosses. I prefer her over mimic now that they nerfed mimic. Also moonveil is a good secondary weapon for mages. The weapon art is fast, scales with int, and does insane damage in both pvp and pve.

    • @TheEru88
      @TheEru88 Před 2 lety +17

      Moonveil it's very good and fun. I had it for awhile and got it +6. But the Spectre with thehe bonus effect for Meteorite I think it's better to have.
      Especially when having adulas moon blade and/or the hammer for close range and the special attack from the Spectre it's actually awesome and staggers. So now I have Spectre +10 and Meteorite.
      Also just got the black knife tiche always heard great things about it. Got them both at +6

    Awesome Video as always. After new spells did a few changes. Biggest one it's Night Comet and off hand Staff of Loss (Boost 30% of damage to Invisibility Sorcery) so it makes Night Comet the best sorcery basically and using it over pebble or great cometshard. Other great thing about Night comet it's enemies dont see it so don't evade it, it ignore most shields and passes thru body so it will damage the one behind your enemy.
    Level 143 (Next 7 levels making Vigor and Mind at 40, may stay at 150 or give few more to endurance and get better armor)
    Vigor 36, Mind 37, END 21, Dex 20 INT 80
    Right Hand: Carrian Spectre +10 and Dagger with Bloodhound step (I can get it out of sticky situations and gain space)
    Left Hand: Staff of Loss (30% bonus to invisibility sorcery like Night Comet) Meteorite (Boost to gravity sorcery like Rock Sling and Meteorite of Astel)
    Snow Witch Hat (10% bonus to cold sorcery) Blaidd's Armor Set (takes me 44 poise)
    Talismans:
    Graven-Mass and School Talisman (added 12% damage) Godfrey Icon (12% boost to charge sorcery, Night Comet it's one of this) Radagon Icon (faster casting makes it have 12% bonus damage)
    Spells: Adulas Moonblade | Night Comet | Rock Sling | Stars of Ruin | Terra Magicka | Comet Azur | Ranni's Dark Moon
    About to get Meteorite of Astel and that takes two slots. Not sure which to change

    Finding the three turtles at Chelona's Rise was totally bugged for me.
    If you're having the same issue, from what I've researched you CANNOT fast travel to any site of grace when seeking the three turtles. You have to do it all in one cycle. If you messed up and did fast travel, they won't show up in the locations they're supposed to be at.
    What I did to sort of "reset" them was pass time until nightfall at a site of grace, then re-read the journal in front of the rise again. This should let them show up once more.
    I ended up only having to get rid of two of the three turtles to make the seal break, which was also strange, but got the job done. Hope this helps!

      Adulas moon blade is just awesome. Best sword summon, better than carian swords because of the ice wave and it wrecks most trash mobs with one hit. Plus the aoe is great for corridors in caves and catacombs. Ita also great for roll catching in pvp, very hard to dodge if they mess the timing up. No matter what your final build is moon blade is the best thing you can have and it works well as a melee alternative. I used the icerag for the giant because it's faster. Just timing the rolls into his aoe and he was 5 mins easy to beat.

  • @marcobattaglino871
    @marcobattaglino871 Před 2 lety +16

    After some intensive testing, I realized a couple of things:
    - Godfrey icon IS actually very good since it both boosts moonveil weapon art AND charged spells.
    - Night comet shard (don't remember the name, but it's the more costly one) has the highest single cast damage if charged (godfrey icon) and with dual staves. Reached ~2800 damage. If you hit at least 2 targets, the cost is worth.
    - When moonveil + carial regal, comet shard (the most costly variant) is very good if charged. Greatbow is better but slower.
    - Adula's moonblade is still super strong and a staple of my build.

    • @letwolf
      @letwolf Před 2 lety

      does the 2 staffs BOTH increase dmg of spells simultaneously? that's interesting. I respecced from melee just for testing magic, 42 int, and most spells are very underwhelming. night comet does around 700 dmg. That's very low and FP-costy compared to melee build / Astel's wing +9, which does 2000+ dmg for just one fast and cheap skill use. Hoarfrost stomp is even more strong.. Still dont have Azur comet for sure, as it wants 60 int, but other spells up to my stats are pretty lackluster.

      @@letwolf it's because of the 42 int. It's way too low. For a caster build you need to ramp things up: 80 int, both talismans that increase sorcery, maybe blue Scorpion (but I don't use it), Godfrey icon, over 350 spell modifier. Below 80 int, I suggest you to use meteoritic staff with rock sling and a good main weapon. For dual staves: yes, you get both bonuses because they apply bonuses when you have them equipped. So when you will have a good int value, it's better to have the carian regal as main, fully upgraded, and the other staves you need in the offhand even unupgraded. Hope it helps!

    • @DR-zl2ct
      @DR-zl2ct Před 2 lety

      Two staffs does not both increase spells. You can cast with one or the other and you only get the scaling from the staff you cast with (L1 or R1), however the bonus from the staffs will still apply to each other (ie bonus to gravity spells, bonus to full moon sorcery, etc).

    I did upgrade Dex for Moonveil and Endurance for stamina and to used better armor. I kinda have my final build for a good while (just gotta get some spells and talisman) I am using Twinsage Crowns with Heriloom for +11 INT to get INT to 80, when I upgrade my level INT i will change talisman or Helmet.
    Rest of the armor its awesome, its the Radahns full Lion Armos he look so cool and damage negation its awesome. Cant wait to get my INT +6 to change Helmet to the full Radahn Armor, then will need to upgrade endurance a little to stay Med. Load.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your great videos, they helped me out a lot!
    Some points i wanted to discuss with you:
    1) I use the jelly-fish shield offhand. Its active gives a very cheap 30sec damage boost (around 20% i think) that is very noticable. Its also quite good at blocking and only need 20 strength. But you cannot use it on horseback (the damage bonus skill, but you can use it before you get on the horse...). What do you think about it?
    2) The Godfrey Icon enhances all charged skills and we use a lot of charged skills. Comet-shard hits like a truck with it, fully charged one-hits pretty much most "normal" enemies. I feel its very noticable.
    3) Takers Cameo is very good for mage, you dont get hit very often but you kill a lot, this keeps you topped off.
    4) Silver Tear Mask: i feel this is one of the best helmets. It gives 8 arcane helping to reach the limit for some spells with no downsides (for mage) and good defensive stats.
    keep up the great work fellow mage =)

    This is personal taste but I'd pick Marika's Soreseal over the small 4% damage one, easily. It gives you 20 free levels and any caster in the game will want both Mind, INT and Faith with Arcane optional. The faith buff should push you to 14, which is enough to use stuff like Lord's Aid, Flame Cleanse Me, Poison Mist, the basic Fortification spells and Assassin's Approach (so lots of status removal for places like Lake of Rot and minor buffs vs bosses). The many extra levels you save could then be put into whatever you feel like.
