Every time I use an INT build, I have to make sure that I don’t overuse my spells and that I actually use the weapon I’ve picked (>ᴗ•) !

This meme is a play on this old meme.

    I could see this going the other way around for me if I ever attempt a sorcerer build XD.

    (Help I have never touched lnt.)

    Is it time?

      INT is by far my favorite build in ER. Half the reason for an RL1 run for me is so that I have to do something else.

      Spells in ER are so much fun. Carian Slicer, Shard Spiral, and Night Comet are the 3 best sorceries and you can kill 99% of enemies with it comfortably (and the remaining 1% if you really want to). But there are many more awesome spells and it’s so much fun to experiment :)

      Also if you miss melee: Carian Slicer is better than 90% of melee weapons. It even has jumping and running attacks.

      Tl;dr Go for it!

      Edit: Also if you have questions about ER mage builds just ask me. I have an unhealthy amount of knowledge ;)

        Thanks for the encouragement! I don’t know where does my INT mental block comes from…I have toyed with the idea of doing like a Death cosplay build with a scythe + sorceries that fit the aesthetic (not necesarily death sorceries, as my understanding is that they are mostly ass). But I think it would be better to try and go full caster so I actually commit.

        I’ll definitely report back when I give it a try :P

          Have fun :)

          Don’t discount Death Sorceries entirely! 4 of those sorceries, 50%, are actually pretty decent: Ancient Death Rancor, Rings of Spectral Light, Mass of Putrescence and Vortex of Putrescence. Small problem: 3 of those are in the DLC, and they have all Faith requirements, which is pretty inconvenient at lower levels. The other 4 death sorceries are really bad.

          If you want a death themed weapon you can use the Death’s Poker. It’s the weapon of the Deathbirds. On 80% of enemies it’s broken af. You can pick the Poker up almost immediately after starting the game. Sacred blade destroys the bird that drops it or you could cheese it (but that takes longer).

          Anyway, just experiment and have fun •ᴗ•

    “I’m going to do a pure INT run!”

    five minutes later

    “What’s the harm in putting just one little point into DEX…”

      Gotta get that VDex up somehow.

      I had a caster character in higher new game cycles, who had 70 Dex purely for the casting speed.

      Nonetheless Int/Dex is an awesome combo. Most Int somber weapons have decent Dex Scaling and Cold is a really powerful infusion especially at high level.

      On my Int builds I always pump Int up to at least 57 before I level anything else.

    I’m surprised at how rarely I see the death poker while Invading. people love int weapons but that one doesn’t come up much despite its ash being so cool
