Best sorceries?

[Tapsa]

I'm looking for top tier sorceries for boss fights. Highest damage per second to be used with the unlimited focus points wondrous physick. Once the physick runs out then highest damage per focus point.

Based on what I read Glintstone Pebble and Rock Sling are pretty good overall, despite having very low intelligence requirement. The problem with the stronger sorceries is that their focus point cost goes way up and with the same amount of focus I could do more damage with weaker sorceries.

May as well put my question here, does anyone know of any good ambush (PVP) spells? Ones that can do an obscene amount of Damage in (preferably) an AOE?

stars of ruin and ambush shard are quite good spells for pvp.
Otherwise for aoe glintstone arc.

Nightmaiden's Mist has helped me a lot for my Level 1 run, helping me kill few high HP/Hard bosses.

cool, now im also going to ask about one more sorcery type, are there any good explosions that would work well in Ambushes? Since I usually ambush at an extremely close range, considering I use Mohgs spear

Oh forgot to mention - Loretta's Bow (and upgraded version) are very good for sniping. You can clear enemies in a zone at a great distance without them aggroing.

If it's large explosions you want, Cannon of Haima has you covered, though close range is a tricky proposition with its very long cast time.

Rock Sling - great for poise dmg/stance breaking & low FP cost (got like 150 and can throw a bunch). Timing is good as it is delayed and partial anim cast, so an interruption may put them right in shotgun range.

Pebbles are great for DPS/FP ratio, and just for point and click kills (as Sling for example can get terrain blocked).

Comet Azur is just a meme in DMg; I use it with Flask to delete enemies like the Tree Spirit, and, while positioning can be an upright ♥♥♥♥-fest on some bosses as it has a wind-up and cast time, you can score over 10k damage within 5 seconds (highest I saw so far was 16ish-K on first Dragon in Farum Azula). It is also just good for a 2 second cast of 1-2k damage I guess

Arrow/Arrow Volley spell is amazing for damage/FP ratio; at 99INT I hit the Giants by Stormveil for about 2K and they go as far as you can lock-on (vs pebbles being only a few feet sorta deal). Does take a good amount of FP in total though.

Stars of Ruin - This is my go to basic spell now. Cast hangs for a second, so you can abuse AI evading on cast so they dodge the first star and take the rest. It puts out good DPS also - basically used this and Azur to shred the entire Haligtree with Bastards Stars in-case I had no FP.

Also - worth mentioning; any mist spell. The DPS is actually quite good if you can wait (Death Maidens Mist ticks up to like 1500 for me before re-cast), and so if you are on a rafter or something, that is tons of damage for like 10FP while you stay safe

Yeah, that's the mist I meant in my message; this guy gets it lol; is also great for crowd control.

With the unlimited FP flask, it's definitely either Comet Azur or Meteorite/Metorites of Astel.
Normal Meteorite is probably the quickest one you can get and use.
Comet Azur is better for smaller bosses, Meteorites will usually outdamage Comet Azur on big bosses though.

Rocks, best sorcery in the game.

Good stagger, decent damage, good range, decent tracking, not expensive FP cost, 3 projectiles at the same time and you honor Radahn by using his move.

Rock Sling's more for the early parts of the game, you'll likely use it less after the Meteor Staff (which boosts it, but can't be upgraded) gets surpassed by other staffs after upgrading them, and after getting high-end spells.

Btw I think you can still get the meteor staff bonus without actually using it to cast if you dual wield it on your off hand.
