ELDEN RING (Part 4)

The Prophet Build...

Currently farming the Fire Monk Armor set off a ... fire monk! It's a good thing the farming locations and conditions are forgiving cos the chest piece is just NOT dropping 😡😡 (I have the rest of the set ... and even the rare drop Staff of the Guilty!) 

I quite like the fire-theme cos the Prophet class comes with fire incantations from the word go and, of course, it goes very well with the Sword of Night and Flame 🔥🔥🔥 But have also started to think about a semi-bleed build too (more of which later). 

Research (Reddit!) suggests that the best fire spells are Catch Flame -- which surprisingly I haven't been using -- and Flame of Frenzy are very strong. Just like any other spells, they are a bit situational but will try to test them out in Stormveil Castle, which is quite a good training ground. I think I will spend some time there before venturing into the Academy of Raya Lucaria, which looks like a giant maze. 

So, am gonna tweak the left hand setup a bit. I think the Rock Sling spell is great for farming enemies (it has superb range!) but too hard to use in battle cos of its very slow casting time. Will switch the Meteorite Staff out for now and use the Staff of the Guilty instead ... let's see if the AOE Briars of Sin blood spell works for killing mobs (just for experimenting). In the longer run I may drop spells altogether and just rely on the "night" spell on the right hand sword. 

The other three "memory slots" will go to incantations and I will probably switch between Heal, Rejection, Darkness (for buffing) and Catch Flame, Flame of Frenzy, Flame Sling and  Rotten Breath (for damages). 

Meanwhile, since I now have quite a few bleed inducing weapons -- Bloodhound's Fang and Hookclaws -- as well as a blood spell, I may start thinking of doing a bleed build ... just for experimenting since my DEX stat is pretty low ...
