(use idus knight as a starting class for 1 extra point)
(having a giants seal in both hands makes the passive proc twice multiplicatively)
(max cast speed is 70 dex and radagon icon acts as 30 dex)
(radagon icon is great if you full charge your casts)
(one giant seal is a 20% damage boost and two is 44% damage)
(can combo o flame into wrath of gold/stone into lightning)
(can use other giants incantations if you like them)
(flame shrouded is just damage. very worthwhile)
(oil soaked tear only lasts 30 seconds but it’s fun if you want to maximize damage: otherwise the classic opaline hardtear+crimson bubble)
(similarly swaping over to relevant defensive talismans can be useful: especially in the DLC)
(88 poise for avoiding curved sword spam if someone invades plus good battlemage fashion and defense stats)
(situationally swap to bullgoat talisman if you want over 100 poise for the pve breakpoint or high poise while invaded/ing)
(can take erdtree heal instead of heal from afar: use erdtree seal for heals and non-giant spells)
(can take erdtree protection instead of flame grant str)
(can point heal from afar at the ground for a fast heal)
(can endure to get spells off)
(dryleaf melee if oom)
(can swap over to another dryleaf/dane’s footwork with holy infusion or other ashes if needed)
(220 is how much a normal cerulean flask restores so you can get the full benefit from it)
(old lord’s talisman can help keep buffs going longer)
(old lord makes the overall healing of blessing of the erdtree higher too)
(hefty/normal oil pots help add a ton of damage to big hits too: could use with or instead of the oil flask)
