Rings are fairly open for dark magic users and will vary based on how you play. Note: The Crown of Dusk does not provide any benefits to dark sorceries. The Dancer's set provides very good damage mitigation for its weight while Armor of Thorns is light and is the only armor set in the game that provides a unique effect. That being said, I have a strong preference for either the Dancer's Set or Armor of Thorns. Grab whatever you think looks good and make sure your equipment load is under 70% and you're good to go. It's not necessarily a problem though, since armor (especially in its current state) is pretty irrelevant. Armorĭue to the very low vitality stat, armor is fairly limited for this dark magic build. This has a second benefit of allowing pyromancers to naturally transition to dark magic as enemies become resistant to fire as you progress through the game. Pyromancy FlameĪs expected, the Pyromancy Flame is the best option for dark pyromancies. The Sunless Talisman provides additional poise when casting miracles and it better situated for PvP, while Caitha's Chime is better for PvE because it's slow heal over time.īoth scale roughly the same for casting miracles or providing buffs. Sunless Talisman/Caitha's Chimeįor casting miracles, it's a toss up between the Sunless Talisman and Caitha's Chime. If you plan on using sorceries, the Izalith Staff is the strongest staff for this build. The following equipment benefits most from dark magic builds: Izalith Staff If you plan on casting sorceries, having a Scholar's Candlestick on hand will provide a 25% boost to sorcery damage. It's a good idea to have a raw infused weapon that you can buff for boss fights, but general damage can come from your chaos or dark infused weapons. I generally like to mix damage types and since this build focuses on dark magic, I'd use a chaos-infused weapon in order to deal with dark-resistant enemies. Since your stats are heavy into FAI and INT, dark and chaos infused weapons are good.

Winged Spear is also D/C/A/A (12/15, 6). A Crystal-infused Saint Bident scales E/E/C/C and is reasonably strong, especially for the 12 STR and 12 DEX requirement.

Use Dark Sword (16/15) or Astora Greatsword (16/18). 16/18 is a nice stopping point for most weapons, but you can save a few points by sticking to a Dark Sword (or even an Estoc). Find a weapon (or a few weapons) that you like and adjust your stats according. Your STR/DEX stats are somewhat flexible. Note: Equipping a Prisoner's Chain in one of your ring slots allows to reduce VIG, END, and VIT by 5 points each, freeing up a total of 15 points that you can spend elsewhere.
