Best faith-casting item?

[OptimusKek]

I'm finishing up my Faith-Strength PvP build and I need a catalyst for casting my miracles.
My SL is 125 with 45 FTH and 9 INT
What is the best catalyst? (for maximum spell buff)
Chime or talisman doesn't matter
I will be upgrading it to +10/+5
Spells are: Bountiful Sunlight, Sunlight spear, lightning blade

Clerics Sacred Chime. Not sure for talismans.

Saint's Talisman is what I use, because of the weapon art. If you're gonna be going offensive Sunlight Spear, you're gonna want poise to be able to hit them up close, kind of like how Lightning Stake works. Only you'll get a crit with Sunlight Spear that will do tons more damage. Odds are very slim that you'll catch someone from far away with any Lightning Spear type variant because of how slow they are and easily avoided. So try to use it up close and personal.

Chimes have higher spellbuff, but no poise. Talismans have lower spellbuff but give poise. In the end, poise is the safe route.

I like the Crystal Chime and it'll do miracles and spells and has a high spell buff ... it only weighs .5 too

For offensive miracles that requires you to stay close to the enemies, Canvas Talisman is probably the best one. You can tank very nasty hits with it's special skill. Sunlight Talisman gives a better poise, but it's spell buff is quite subpar, so stick with Canvas. Saint's Talisman gives a very nice Spell buff, but it's poise is the worst of all Talisman, so I advise you to avoid it.

If you want to buff or use spells from afar, Yorshka Chime gives a quite high spell buff if you have a high FTH. You do need to kill Yorshka though... so farm the concords first before killing her.

It's a good idea to have a Talisman and a Chime, so get both.

At 45 faith, Canvas Talisman (190 SB) would give you more damage than Saint's (187 SB). Cleric's sacred chime would have the highest Spell Buff at 195.

Buffs should always be applied with chimes. Talismans should always be used for offensive spells. But if you can only have one, go with the Talisman.

canvas and if youre at 50 or above its yorshkas afaik

For PvP you should really get two casting implements. Sunlight talisman is mandatory because it makes you unstaggerable (except headshots and maybe pancakes?) so you can faceplant those sunlight spears/stakes. Then something for non melee range.

You may want to respec at Rosaria, the amount of of bonus from 50-60 on faith and int is pretty substantial. But for just miricles/faith I'd say saints.

There's a good STR/Faith build on youtube involving the Dragonslayer GreatAxe.
