How to make a VIABLE LOW LEVEL WIZARD BUILD! - DS3

So how do you make low level mages viable? Simple, first find a really BIG STICK...


-----BUILD NOTES----
- You NEED an Izalith Staff. It is found at Smouldering Lake behind 2 hidden walls. I'd recommend having a friend dropping you one.
- Once you have the staff you are PvP ready. Just grab Flyn's ring and a life ring and that's all the gear you need! I only used the 2 rings, you really don't need any other ones.
- The staff I used was not upgraded at all and it packs a good punch! It needs 12 STR, 14 INT and 10 FAITH to use.
- It probably is the hardest hitting weapon for stat requirements in the whole game and it uses barely any stamina to bonk things with!
- Invasions take into consideration your highest weapon level, so it's handy it has high base strength.
- Oddly enough, leveling INT does NOT increase bash damage or your weapon art damage boost.
- Steady Chant is the weapon art, it increases spell damage, and BONK damage by about 20%.
- Here I had 25 VIG, but you could level more effectively and have 27 VIG which is the final softcap amount. That's over a 1000HP easy.
- Iron Flesh is nuts, it is found in farron woods swamp. It also increases your physical resistances too!
- For whatever reason, it is REALLY hard to parry. I have no idea why. Lot's of people tried, it was only parried twice in all.

This build was a lot of fun. Obviously you can be simply outnumbered, and they can simply walk away. It's far from broken but it's a fun way to play a tank mage.
