Best Class and Stats for a Madness Build
The Prophet class is the best starting choice for a Madness build because of its high Faith and access to Elden Ring Items Frenzied Flame incantations early on. Here’s a recommended stat allocation for a level 125 Madness build:

Vigor: 40 (to survive Madness buildup and PvP combat)
Mind: 30 (for a healthy FP pool to cast Frenzied Flame spells)
Endurance: 20 (enough for decent stamina and equip load)
Strength: 16 (required for wielding Vyke’s War Spear and shields)
Dexterity: 20 (for faster casting and to complement Vyke’s War Spear)
Intelligence: 7 (minimum required, not needed for this build)
Faith: 61 (maximize to increase incantation power)
Arcane: 10 (default, no real focus here)
This stat spread provides a strong foundation for a hybrid playstyle that balances melee combat and Frenzied Flame spells. Focus on Faith to scale your damage, with a good balance in Vigor and Mind to cheap Elden Ring Items sustain longer fights.
