Heretic's Staff is a Weapon in Dark Souls 3.

Catalyst used by generations of heretic sorcerers.

Sorcery is a logical academic discipline, and the power of sorceries depends heavily on the caster's intelligence.

Skill: Steady Chant
Boost the strength of sorceries for a very short period. Works while equipped in either hand.

Heretic's Staff Notes and Tips:

• Cannot be Infused or Buffed.
• Reinforced with Titanite.
• At 60 INT and +10 it has a spellbuff of 220.
• Has the highest spellbuff of all staves between 35 INT and 43 INT.
• The Sorcerer's Staff is better above 45 INT, and better below 33 INT. See here for further data.
• Being longer than the Sorcerer's staff, Farron's Flashsword and Soul Greatsword have far greater range when cast with this staff while its spellbuff is only a tiny bit lower.
• This staff has a much higher stamina cost per cast than other similarly strong staves.
• This staff bears close resemblance to Beatrice's Catalyst from Dark Souls.
