ELDEN RING (Part 5)

 Fire Prophet Build ...

Well, the chest piece of the Fire Monk armour set finally dropped 😍😍 but it took such a long time, and from a fire monk on the road (not in the camp) 😅😅 I'd swapped out the hood cos Roderika's red hood (found in Stormveil Castle) actually gives +1 to vigor, which is a great health boost; and it doesn't look out of place with the rest of the set. 

Have also found the amazing Frenzied Burst incantation, which has AMAZING range -- maybe even better than Rock Sling but costs more FP (24) apparently it can inflict madness status but I don't think that works with in-game enemies (only on fellow tarnished/ invaders). Was wondering if I should go through the trouble to get the Flame, Grant Me Strength spell (in Caelid, yikes) to boost fire damage but it eats up another 28 FP and too wasteful for casual enemies, so maybe not. The Scorpion Charm talisman that boosts fire attacks also quite troublesome to get (in Volcano Manor) and it also reduces defence against physical damages, so will also give it a miss (especially I already have the Radagon's Soreseal on, which also increases damage taken ... but at least the boost in vigor/strength helps compensate that). May consider the Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear though since it is a Erdtree Avator drop and that is not too hard to get. But it is just a one-use potion so ... maybe the FGMS spell might be better? 

Oh, I had another Staff of the Guilty drop but a bleed build is not viable cos it requires high Arcane stat, and I am not about to grind for that now. 

So, since last blog entry, I am tweaking the four spell/incantation "memory slots": will keep Rock Sling cos it still does decent damages and has range; Frenzied Burst also has superb range and can snipe annoying enemies (I'm looking at you, nasty prawn miners!); Heal, which actually can heal self and the summon; and one of the following: Flame of Frenzy, AoE spell for crowd control (but inflicts Madness status on self); Flame, Cleanse Me; Rotten Breath; Darkness/Rejection; Catch Flame/ Flame Sling. 

Time to upgrade the Sword of Night and Flame to +6 !
