Best Catalyst For 40 Int.

[✪HappyReptilian]

Title. However I would like to mention, I will only be using dark sorceries. I heard that dark sorceries get a damage boost when using the Manus Catalyst, but I also heard that it scales with strength, so it would be best on a str/int build instead of a dex/int build like I'm using. What would be the smartest choice for a dark caster with low strength?

The actual attacking part on manus scales with str, as do most weapons.

The magic adjust (which governs spell bonus damage) is ruled by int. Putting points in STR to do stronger casts isn't going to work.

Ok so would it be the best option for dark sorceries?

Yep. Tin crystal is the highest with halved spell usage(315 max MA) , then manus with halved spell usage (295 max MA), then logans without halved spell usage (250 max MA)

hey, careful with using manus souls for get that Catalyst, u can do 2 things with that soul, and i recomend u take the Pursuers then Manus catalyst, u will love that spell if u use dark sorceries.

-Logan catalyst have similar power but with the Dragon ring and oolacile crown u just can use the normal catalyst they still doing insta kill when this spell hits :P (in PVP).

-Another point check the weapon droped by seth tail, is a nice 2 hand weapon giving u a S escale on INT.

I hate to be "that guy," but technically the answer is NOT Logan's catalyst, until one has 41 INT. Sorcerer's/Beatrice catalysts will - ever so slightly- be the better option at 40 (assuming you are unwilling to halve your spell casts). Will this ever make or break an encounter? Probably not.

I use crystalization catalyst + the ring + the crown + power within, but I don't pvp on this character much.

I do melt bosses in literally 4 seconds though, Artorias was downright pathetic, he took two crystal soul spears in the face and fell dead.

I could be wrong but I think Logans is 39+. Even if it isn't I can just put one more point into int.

Fextralife disagrees with you, but I will admit, I've yet to personally test this claim.
