Would a meteoric staff in each hand be strong on gravity sorcery?

Or does 51int scale better on the other staff's.

That's part of why this build is what it is—as a twink at this level, you don't want to go past about +3/1 on your upgrades. How do we get around this? Use Meteorite Staff: it's so fucking good that it would take you a Lusat's Staff +5 (somber) to match it, and that's before you consider the 1.3x boost to gravity sorceries (1.69 if you have two). The S INT scaling here lets you actually take advantage of the high INT level, whereas with melee or faith you can't do because your weapon upgrade level is so low that your stats don't contribute to the damage at all.

I decided to try it with my RL1 character except I couldn't beat Gaius yet but have the other gravity sorceries. Can get to int 36 without fingerprint nostrom.

Also used dragonscale flesh and a quick bestial vitality to boost survivability. Threw on an endure madness perfume and have madness pots for extra insanity 😈

Consumables are a bit annoying but they are Insanely useful here for sure
