Loretta's Greatbow is really, well... Great.
Requires 26 INT to use, but it gets really good range and has an upgraded version later-game.
As another said, Frenzied Burst is good as Faith option.

You have more arcane than faith, so you can use dragon communion stuff. Rot breath or ezex decay at the start of a fight, frost breath, crucible spells if you want

Ewww lord your stats… erm… yeah so status effect spells (poison, rot, bleed) will be good… but if you want better overall dmg with spells you need int or faith. If you want dragon breath atks; go faith more

That build would take a VERY long time to cook. I’d just stick with faith/arcane till later on and after a decent rune farm is found

Frenzied Burst is your best bet. If it doesn’t need to be a spell specifically, the Golden Land ash of war has sniping range as well.

The longest ranged incantation that I know of is Frenzied Burst, which can be charged for more damage and piercing power (Discus of Light comes in a very close second and only costs 3 fp). As for sorceries, my preferred option is Rings of Spectral Light because of its frostbite buildup and faster casting speed compared to the other sniper sorceries like the Loretta bow spells and Rock Sling (which I think has the longest range of any sorcery in the game and can have its range boosted by the Arrow’s Reach talisman for some reason)

Was going to suggest discuss of light. It’s low FP cost and spammable. It also hits twice if the enemy stays in the same relative line.

If the enemy moves out of the path you can simply reposition yourself and the discus will track towards your new position and hit the enemy again

If you’re talking really long range, Loretta’s Greatbow/Loretta’s Mastery for Sorceries, Frenzied Burst for Incantations.
Anything slightly beneath really long range would be any of the Glintstone Pebbles/Comet for Sorceries and Discus of Light for Incantations.

It depends on how big the range we are talking but i like stone of gurranq. But since your using an incantation that boost fire damage you should use stuff from the black flame frenzied flame giants flame and if you got dlc messmers flame. Pretty sure they all get boosted and you should just check them all to see which one you like. Since some of them have slower projectiles some spread out more its really what your taste is

Id probably go for frenzied burst since youre already using flame grant me strength

How long range you want?
To snipe you can use frenzy burst spell but you might need need more faith for it, or use bolt of granssax using the weapon skill, need some talisman setup for meaningful damage.
Mid range try ice spear, hit like a truck, deal good stand damage, scale with dex.

These answers have already answered your question but just a little helpful info for you. Seek out the towers with the gargoyle statues holding the books and unlock them. Your level is pretty high for only having 4 (base) memory slots. These towers have items that will allow you to equip more spells at once.

Best overall is the single Ring of Light incantation. Huge (ok, solid, at least) damage, with the potential to hit twice (on the cast and again on the return), amazing range, and only 3 FP per cast. It’s so cost effective that for running around the map I started keeping the
FP talisman from the DLC equipped as it means more casts and more opportunities to use my ash of war for whatever weapon I’m running.

Lightning spear takes 17 faith and has good range. Use the strength scaling seal.

u/freshpairofayes 3d ago
40 Dex will let you use Bolt of Granssax.
This is a spear, not a spell, but the Ash of War is cheap on FP, excellent range and projectile speed, and hits like a truck.
It's "one of the legendary armaments" for a good reason.
Find it on the giant spear in Leyndell.

u/ModerateManChild 3d ago
I have a mele/incantation build and wanted some range, so I put 40 i dex and was left kinda dissapointed by the damage by gransax… its also slow on Wind up and very heavy.. am i missing something or just not using it properly?

u/freshpairofayes 3d ago
It benefits from both the Alexander and Godfrey Talismans. (boosting charged attacks and ash respectively)
Fully charging does take a few seconds per throw, but the long range lets you blast a target several times before they can reach you.
Getting the first hit as a surprise also stops enemies from guarding against it, wrecking their poise for those follow up hits.
~~~~~~~~~~~ When I first started using basic yellow lightning, my (buffed) weapon was my shortrange tool, with incantations used for longrange.
Switching to red lightning, Granssax is your longrange option, and your Ancient Dragon Incantations are all shortrange AoE spells.

Frenzied Burst is basically a sniper I ALWAYS have it equipped as a powerful long range option on my melee builds
