Notes from author
Pure Int build, are you a wizard yet?
Replace Logan's Catalyst with Tin Crystallization Catalyst for ridiculous spell damage but lower number of casts.
Replace Wolf Ring with Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring for max sorcery damage boost and Dark Wood Grain Ring for ninja flippin' all over the place.
Use elemental versions of the weapons/Quelaag's Furysword(instead of Moonlight Butterfly Horn) as backup against high magic defense armored opponents or GMB, or use Obsidian Greatsword for pure physical damage and buffability.
Can use 6 unit weight weapon setups like Great Scythe/Uchigatana + Bandit's Knife/Composite Bow, Claymore, Halberd, Moonlight Greatsword etc., and by replacing Grass Crest Shield with Leather Shield, Obsidian Greatsword instead of the Velka's Rapier + Moonlight Butterfly Horn combination even with Tin Crystallization Catalyst equipped.
