best multiplier setup:
dragon communion seal +10 @60 arcane // 46 faith = 358 incant scaling = erdtree seal +10 80 faith
- +15% – Gravel Stone Seal (offhand)
- +8% – Flock’s Canvas Talisman
- +15% – Godfrey’s Icon

1.15 × 1.08 × 1.15 × 1.20 × 1.20 × 1.20 × 1.20 × 1.20 × 1.06 × 1.075 × 1.25 × 1.10 ≈ 5.68 !!!
- Dragon Communion Seal +10 at 60 Arcane / 46 Faith → ~354 Incant Scaling
- Charged Ancient Dragons’ Lightning Strike scales at 379% of Incant Scaling per bolt
comparison:
fully specced ertree seal 80 faith build + all relevant buffs, 353 incant scaling = +- 2.9 multiplier
fully specced INT comet azur build + all relevant buffs = +- 2.8 multiplier
were at a 5.68 multiplier here, the above is not accounting for a 20% weakness to lightning and 10% rain lightning buff
those included, that brings the grand total multiplier stack to: Final Possible Damage Multiplier: ~7.49x @60arc/46fai (i chose to believe AI after 7 recalculations)
while MINmaxed at rl150 – i recommend taking this build towards minmax rl180-220, with an eye on strength and dex, more endurance and mind .
this depends on You, which weapons you prefer to wield (innate bleed + poison or occult). in all, dex will be most favorable to gain more physical dps and weapon options.
so:
you can use great stars, spikey balls, bloodfiends hammer, great katana, scythes … and profit.
you can swap to godslayer, giant’sflame, holy and dragon communion incantations by switching up a few elemental and passive buffs/gear – but basicly only cast golden vow in front of a door and you good. (or not)
you can continue levelling faith to use it all up to Light of Miquella, have 72faith/60arcane and do Way sillier damage than 80 faith with erdtree seal ever would. then you’re at 388 incant scaling compared to 353.
you can figure the time for casts is on ‘exultation buffed windows’ you get by gettin your cheeks in there and get procs with stormcaller, softswap to ‘insert offhand seal’ and boom.
you can cast 1 stormcaller for 9fp, thats 18 seconds of celestial dew talisman fp regen. if you kill 4 things with 1 stormcaller you can get 50% buffed with exultations and a silly hat, meanwhile,
if rykard’s rune is active you will heal for 850 ish lifepoints on 4 kills – every 18 seconds of free fp regen. that’s more than a healing flask in the same time window (810)
blasphemous blade regens roughly half of that health amount with 4 kills while one taker’s flame = 30 fp = 60 seconds of regen. that’s 3+ stormcallers.
this means that this build basicly NEVER runs out of juices, as long as there are enemies around you and you engage them at a moderate pace of 4 every 18 seconds lol..
ofcourse AOE incants work with rykards rune.
hence, you can afford to carry some additional blue flasks if you use rune arcs in the open world.
meanwhile, on toilet breaks, bestial vitality heals you for 600hp every 120 seconds and takes 36 seconds to recharge with celestial dew tali = free real estate.
