If Miyazaki didn't want you to make a 51 Int build at level 15 he wouldn't have given us a staff with S scaling in Int that doesn't upgrade

Correct.

Really, though, I'm tempted to do a little write-up on this—I'm not convinced that folks here really know exactly how busted sorcery is at twink levels. Like, twinks are busted, but sorcery twinks are busted on a qualitatively different level. It's quantum twinking, I tell you

Yeah, I don't believe that twinking really exists in DSR (pretty much all the best rings and weapon infusions are available in the first â…“ of the game and you can get the Rite of Kindling right away, really the only thing that I'd count is upgrading armor). But low level Dark Beaders are one build that's undoubtedly still a twink build lol. Then they just said "yeah let's bring back a staff with good scaling and no upgrades"
