Hello wanted to get some advice about caster builds.
Iam currently lv 191 NG+ at Anor Londo just finished my tedious farm and wanted to try something new on my way to get 100% Achievs.
As of now im just using Exiled Sword topping str but after 7h farm im feed up with it.
Any kind souls could give advice about caster build, Full int mage or hybrid int/faith for pyro/dark/miracles for more variety? (Have all spells/pyromancies collected and most of miracles/dark)

🔥 Lv 190 PvE Pyromancer (Boss Destroyer Build)

📊 Optimized Stats (PvE Focus)

You don’t need as much survivability as PvP—so more damage + FP:

  • Vigor: 35–40
  • Attunement: 35–40 (important for FP + spell slots)
  • Endurance: 20–25
  • Vitality: 10–15 (light/medium armor is fine)
  • Strength: 12–16
  • Dexterity: 16–18
  • Intelligence: 60
  • Faith: 60
  • Luck: Base

👉 This maximizes pyromancy damage + sustained casting.

🔥 Weapons (PvE Meta)

🥇 Main:

  • Pyromancy Flame (max upgraded) → your primary damage source

🗡️ Backup:

  • Demon's Scar

    • Great for clearing trash mobs fast

  • Chaos-infused straight sword (for resistant enemies)

🪄 Best PvE Spell Loadout

🔥 Core (Always Equipped):

  • Chaos Bed Vestiges → your main boss killer
  • Great Chaos Fire Orb → AoE + lava pool (amazing vs big bosses)
  • Black Flame → destroys enemies that get close

⚫ Optional (Situational):

  • Black Fire Orb → better vs fire-resistant enemies

💍 Best Rings (PvE Damage Setup)

  • Witch’s Ring → huge pyromancy boost
  • Great Swamp Ring → stacks more pyro damage
  • Sage Ring → faster casting
  • Fire Clutch Ring → boosts fire damage (great in PvE)

👉 Swap Fire Clutch if needed:

  • Ring of Favor +3 (more survivability)

⚔️ How to Play (PvE Loop)

🐉 Boss Strategy:

  1. Start at range
  2. Spam Chaos Bed Vestiges
  3. Use Great Chaos Fire Orb for large/slow bosses
  4. When close:
    → Black Flame (INSANE damage per FP)

👉 Many bosses will literally melt in seconds at 60/60 scaling.

🧟 Area Clearing:

  • Use Great Chaos Fire Orb → kills groups + leaves lava
  • Use Demon’s Scar for fast melee cleanup
  • Use Rapport on strong enemies to make fights trivial

🔻 Fire-resistant enemies:

  • Switch to:

    • Black Flame / Black Fire Orb
    • Or use Dark-infused weapon

using a chaos infused weapon for enemies resistant to demon's scar is definitely a strategy
