Fire Witch Sorcerer Build - (Darks Souls 3) - demonssoulsremake

Build Overview

Those desiring to deal both fire and magic damage with their build should seek out the Immolation Tinder dropped by the fire witches at Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. This halberd possesses physical and fire attack as well as A-tier Intelligence scaling when fully upgraded, meaning that the excellent reach of this polearm will deal sufficient damage while also being capable of out-spacing many foes. Furthermore, it can be used as a sorcery catalyst (though not for pyromancies), which lets its wielder use melee attacks and cast spells very fluidly.

PVP Tips

While one will be able to out-space melee attackers, those who get too close can annihilate this build if one does not set up a decent countermeasure, as the handle portions of polearms deal pathetic damage compared to the head of the weapon, and the relatively slow attack speed will mean players will have their attacks interrupted frequently. However, an easy counter to this issue is to have Homing Soulmass or Crystal Homing Soulmass active as much as possible to deter enemies from getting too close.

PVE Tips

Split damage can be both a curse or a blessing. Against foes who have generally average damage reductions to all elements, the Immolation Tinder's moderate physical and fire damage will respectively do little. However, against foes who are weak to physical damage, fire damage, or both, this weapon will be effective. Thankfully, fire is handy against a large number of enemies in DS3, and the only real kinds of threats that resist this element are obviously coated in flames or otherwise have a notable connection to fire.
