Summary

This build uses an incredible amount of base damage modifiers to increase damage by a lot. You will be incredibly squishy so this is not for inexperienced players. You will sit in water magic the entire time and use the lightning hammer as the main weapon. Firey Greatsword is very good for boss fights that have a wall in them to do an amazing amount of burst damage.
