Equal investment in Intelligence and Faith is required to make the most out of this staff.
Izalith Staff - Primarily used for Dark Sorceries, this staff will excel in a Dark build.The casting speed is equivalent to having 99 Dexterity. Normally this is done with the Sage Ring but opening up a ring slot could be better depending on the build. The passive buff this staff gives is notable as it gives the player an increase to their casting speed. Witchtree Branch - Carrying this staff in the off-hand is preferable due to it's low stats.It's weaker than even the starting staff but because of its buff, it can be used either on its own or in the off-hand to buff the player's main staff. Sage's Crystal Staff - Obtained in Lothric Castle, this staff has a unique Weapon Art that increases Sorcery damage by 30 percent.It is obtained about halfway through the base game in Profaned Capital either by killing a mimic chest or using an Undead Hunter Charm to open it up. Court Sorcerer's Staff - This will be the best staff to use in most situations.It has a 226 Spellbuff at 60 Intelligence at +10. Up until 50 Intelligence, this will be the preferred staff to use through the game. Sorcerer's Staff - This is the starting staff for both the Assassin and Sorcerer class.Immolation Tinder and the Greatsword of Judgment are great alternatives for a melee weapon for players not wanting to transpose the Soul of Oceiros or fight Heysel. The FP cost of the Weapon Art may be more enticing but its range and low mobility while using it aren't worth it. Moonlight Greatsword's Weapon Art can do a lot of damage but it is usually better to use a spell instead. Using melee weapons will also mean that attack buffing equipment can be used such as Flynn's Ring. It can achieve a 500 Attack Rating easily with 60 Intelligence. Moonlight Greatsword is the strongest weapon for a build like this.Some staves actually increase the length of these spells as well with a small decrease to their power. Farron Flashsword and Soul Greatsword both are melee ranged spells that use little FP to cast.It can be used as both a catalyst and a weapon for players looking to try both. Heysel's Pick is a weapon that can be obtained easily fighting Yellowfinger Heyself.They each add a spell buff modifier to the weapon with Crystal Magic Weapon being the strongest at 0.95. Magic Weapon, Great Magic Weapon, and Crystal Magic Weapon all can be applied to a weapon when cast from a staff in the other hand.Otherwise, there are a few alternatives for players not wanting to go this route. Infusing a weapon with a Crystal Gem will cause a weapon to scale with Intelligence. Players wanting to use magic but still want to fight at close range should invest in Crystal Gems. Scholar's Candlestick is useful for players not wanting to keep repeatedly using a Weapon Art buff and want a passive damage buff instead. With the Sage's Crystal Staff, players should use the catalyst's Weapon Art for it but continue using their primary staff to get the effect. With the Witchtree Branch, players can remove the Sage Ring for another damage buff ring or something for survivability, such as the Ring of Favor. One hand should have the main staff with the other holding one of the three other buffing catalysts. Pestilent Mist is another useful spell that has use in specific situations like fighting Midir or even Wolnir. Homing Crystal Soulmass is useful for extra burst damage or to stagger enemies getting in close. Spells should include either the Great Soul Arrow, Great Heavy Soul Arrow or Crystal Soul Spear depending on how much FP the player has in reserve.The Sage Ring can be swapped in if players aren't using the Witchtree Branch. Magic Clutch Ring, Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, Young Dragon Ring, and either Lloyd's Sword Ring or the Red Tearstone Ring will maximize damage.Either the Witchtree Branch, Sage's Crystal Staff, or Scholar's Candlestick should be in the offhand.The Court Sorcerer's Staff will be the best staff to use at 60 INT.A healthy amount of Vigor is always a must, but 60 Intelligence and about 30 Attunement should be what players aim for.
There are a few ways to maximize damage while retaining survivability for players wanting to avoid weapons and play a pure sorcerer.
