Where the hell are the int items?

[LoVeSuns]

I'm about 90-95% through the DLC and I haven't seen any good int items. Only got like 3 or 4 new incantations and they all suck or are practically unusable. No weapons with int scaling better than D and not a single new staff. Meanwhile, there are like 5x the amount of incantations and faith scaling items. This DLC is stupid. From is stupid.

yeah it seems that faith is heavily favored in this game, both in the base game and the dlc

[Aggromonk]

I haven't started the DLC yet but seeing this makes me happy I started a mage to play the DLC with.. /s lol

[Jámez Bondo]

Cold infused Milady is awesome. Other than that, Rellanas Twin Blades +10 are INT C. There's her Twin Moon Spell, too.

They're around

[Umbral Priestess]

Maternal staff is probably the best addition, as it has high scaling, close to prince of death., twin moon swords has decent INT scaling, spirit sword.

and there is also a new staff that lets you use both incantations and sorceries.

[Akemua]

Ymir quest line gets you a few cool ones.

Yeah this is not mage DLC, no items and an enemy perfected to slay mages ....

Yeah, I'm disappointed. I've been infusing the new weapons with Magic or Cold, and that's been giving SOME results, kind of? But I'm still waiting for a magic weapon with a Weapon Art that's as fun to use as Transient Moonlight. Most of the new Weapon Arts are too slow to use reliably against the DLC's problem enemies, and unfortunately many of the new weapon types introduced lack poise and stance damage...
Spoilers for Castle Ensis Cerulean Coast: It felt like a cruel joke when Castle Ensis dropped a Greatsword with a floating sword spell as the weapon art, and then in the Cerulean Coast, the first INT-weapon you find is... An INT katana. We already have two!!

Not in my opinion. The sorceries from the DLC feel far more impactful than the Incantations, IMO.

That said, the sorceries are all back-loaded quite badly. A lot of it revolves around the Cathedral of Manus Metyr, and Ymir's questline, and a lot of them require access to pretty hidden areas.

I'll try it out again since there are WAY more Somber Smithign Stones than I expected there to be, but when I was testing it against other weapon arts (bread and butter ones like Impaling Thrust), I wasn't jazzed about it.

I am not kidding. What are these op sorceries?

[NONAME]

The sorcery from Rellana is really useful. It turns your mimic into an AOE spamming machine.
