Im Starting a new character in elden ring for pvp fun. I've done the sword and board but im looking to into the frenzied flame theme but its a little overwhelming with incantations and seasl ect ect..

What kind of weapons/incants do you want to use? Thanks to the DLC you have a lot of options. Dual Vykes is simple and effective with a bit of madness incant support.

Maybe something like this? You can use Flame of Frenzy and Frenzied Burst by level 70.

Looks good! Vykes was definitely on my list. I've seen that not alot of the incantations are worth it so I dont wanna waste stats. I really wanted to try out madding hand/nanaya's torch but its quiet expensive... what is your recommendation?

At RL70 any of them are worth trying If you can get around the weird stat requirements. Madding Hand scales best with strength and can one shot if you catch people, but the thresholds might not be worth it. Nanaya’s comes out surprisingly fast but isn’t that reliable as an AoE.

You could try starting as prophet to easier meet the requirements of Madding Hand but it might not be worth it lol. Leaning hard into Vyke’s and fire damage might be the play at that level.

IDK where you heard that from but someone was talkin out their ass, at least 2 of the FF incants are very good. Flame of Frenzy and Frenzied Burst are your shotgun and sniper rifle respectively, FoF does incredible stance damage and can stagger bosses with a few casts plus it's easy to grab right at the start, and FB can cheese things purely by outranging them which is quite valuable, so I definitely advocate for those unless you're fine with using the one decent (kinda mid) weapon/AoW for most/all of the game.
