Build Strategy

How to play this build

This build maxes out damage and removes the need for Sunny D.  Being Below 20% HP at all times to gain the +44% damage from the Morion Blade + Red Tearstone Ring and staying alive by keeping up Tears of Denial.   The idea behind this build is the ultimate glass cannon,  it can work with any starting class and be applied to any mage by replacing pyromancy rings/clutch ring as needed.   You will only survive that first hit unless you can get tears of denial back up but it will not feel like that big of a deal when you are killing boss's in 2-4 spells at level 40.    Vigor, Vitality, Strength and Dex are useless on this build, as are Etsus Flasks.   Endurance also gets thrown on the backburner until you have 4 attunement slots and a decent FTH/INT.  Great chaos Fire Orb and Chaos Bed Vestiges are you two main spells.  Having a decent Chime/Staff is helpful for boss's resistant to fire (I still use pyromancy on those though :3).   For an offhand weapon to use if you run out of FP I recommened the Dark Hand although you will rarely run out of FP.
