Overview
Daniel presents an Elden Ring Pyromancer fire mage build built around the Frenzied Burst incantation, which functions as a long-range sniper spell that eliminates most enemies in one to three hits.
The setup maximizes fire and incantation damage via talismans including the Faithful Canvas Talisman, Flock's Canvas Talisman, Fire Scorpion Charm, and Godfrey Icon, enhanced further by Flame, Grant Me Strength and the Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear.
Character attributes are directed primarily into Faith until hitting 80 or 90 before raising Vigor, Stamina, and Endurance, while tanky shield summons are recommended to absorb boss aggression during slow spellcasts.
Themes
Frenzied Burst spell mechanics, item acquisition from a scarab near the Frenzied Tower, charge damage boosts, vulnerability windows, and alleged PvP efficacy.
Stat allocation and gear optimization including talismans, stacking mechanics, and supportive buffs.
Millicent's quest progression and requirements for obtaining Flock's Canvas Talisman.
Developments
Daniel assisted Millicent against her sisters at the Haligtree during her questline.
Daniel attacked Gowry at his shack to secure Flock's Canvas Talisman.
Daniel unequipped one of the Canvas talismans during testing to confirm their damage bonuses stack.
Uncertainties & gaps
Daniel was initially uncertain whether Millicent's questline could still be completed after burning the Erdtree, though this initial assumption proved incorrect.
Frenzied Burst is alleged to kill players in two shots and stunlock opponents in PvP, but Daniel has not tested this directly in PvP.
