Best AoE int weapon/ sorceries for rune farm?

[Pandoriux]

I used to play faith build so dragon incantation and relic sword is always the way to go. But for mage/int build, i wondering what sorceries / int weapon skill work best?

[Dollmaker]

Um...

Maybe Adula or Cannon of Haima (i think that was the name)

And i guess maybe Arc, dmg isnt amazing but can be spammed and covers a surprising amount of range.

Sacred Relic Sword is brilliant for killing lots of mobs for runes

Yeah but he wants an Int alternative.

I assume you're talking about nuking those little sleeping dudes in mogwyn palace? Haima cannon sort of works but you'll hit 4 of them at best. Easier to just shoot them with comet. Better yet, just forgo killing the sleeping fellows and just shoot the suicide crow with an arrow then rest at the bonfire. Rinse and repeat.

Rahdahns blades do scale with In and they do magic damage for sure. They are of great help for farming but require Str sadly.... 38str and 12 dex but that AoE is quite large.

The cannon haima spell might work if you want large AoE but im not certain.... There isnt a lot of massive AoE Int weapons i know of, If you gather them all of Zamors Ice sotrm might work but in my Experience before the most recent patch that spell is meh damage wise

Wing of Astel and Bastard Stars have great AOE weapon skills for INT builds.

If he googled it plenty of exploits to do rune farming without any weapon

I like the Starscorge Greatswords if you have the str investment. For spells... I dunno you could porbably lay some decent traps with Rolling Magma. Or use the rain spell.
