Talk:Izalith Staff/@comment-34593210-20180313080136

I really hate that this staff does in fact scale poorly with Faith at the lower levels! Sorceries start at 7 Faith and a dark spell or even Fire spells don't come available until you rescue Cornyx and transpose the Deacons soul for Deep Soul and defeat the Abyss Watchers just to travel to Smouldering Lake to go grab Izalith Staff... So clearly these spells are meant for midlate game and all this time we can either use Pyro spells or stay with INT boost up to 24INT/20Faith so we can try combining Soul Greatsword with Great Combustion.... And that's when you can mow down Vordt with a Gold Resin, and play around with any reds...US pick up Sunlight Warrior, and then go back to Vordt to farm medals... Same with Curserotted Greattree, or keep the Undead Settlement boss just for pvp, and of course Mound Makers.... But yeah in the beginning just play around with Farron Hail, Great Combustion, and try free aiming a Great Soul Arrow...

Really at base stats, it's best just to use Rapier, or two handing a longsword or Broadsword...
