This guide will show you how to make the best Dragon Communion arcane build in Elden Ring. I’ll break down the build’s stats and equipment; then I’ll show you where to get the most important items in the build as early as possible; and finally I’ll give a showcase of the build where I talk about its strengths and weaknesses.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
===========================================
-Why it's wasteful to level Endurance for heavy armor:
Endurance required to medium roll with Knight's set: literally none by itself because it only weighs 25.3
Protection provided (avg across all negations): ~22%
Endurance required to medium roll with Bull Goat's set: 40
Protection provided (avg across all negations): ~31%
So you can put *more than 40 points into Endurance* (the numbers provided above were for JUST the armor, with no weapons or talismans equipped) for a 9% damage negation increase,
OR
Max HP at 40 Vigor: 1450
Max HP at 60 Vigor: 1900
Using 40 Vigor as a baseline (because you should ALWAYS have at LEAST 40 Vigor), you can put 20 additional points into it for a ~31% max HP increase. So 40 points for 9% more negation, or 20 points for 31% more HP. Which one do you think is better?
