Cowcaster posted:all the myriad reports rolling in how sorcery falls off in the midgame is actually psyching me up because it means that instead of choosing easy mode i have chosen hard mode and i'm gonna flip everyone the bird when i beat the game anyway Sorcery isn't some sort of turbo hardmode or anything. It's not like you can't win, since I'm continuing just fine, but it's not some alternate build like Str or Dex (or DS2 Faith before they killed it) where your options are entirely different. It's the spells themselves that suck. It's like rolling a Str/Dex build, seeing this world full of incredible weapons, and there's no point because Longsword is the best weapon in the game. quote:there seems to be this harmful preconceived notion going around of a "pure mage" build being something that uses exclusively spells to deal with everything and never deigns to touch a melee weapon or shield, because somehow that would make you a "spellblade" or something. That's me intentionally doing it that way, and it's mostly working. I have absolutely required summoning people for a few fights, and a few others had to be put off for more grinding because there's a hard cap on damage. You can't build a hybrid style build here, in the sense that you're as effective as a pure Int/Str/Dex guy at the same level, but if you don't care about grinding more levels (get used to that, btw) you could theoretically be everything at once. You could do the DS2 thing where you build up just enough stats to wield your weapon of choice then pump Faith to use the cool invocation weapon buffs, but I have no idea how effective that'd be.

Bardeh posted:Have been dealing with the performance problems on PC and enjoying the game, but I got to Liurnia of the Lakes and some areas there just kill my framerate so it's like an unstable 30-40 and feels like complete dogshit to play. There is no combination of settings that gets me a solid 60 frames at 1440p on a 8600k and a 1080ti anywhere in the open world areas. It's pissing me off and making me enjoy the game less. Switch off 1440p? My framerate has been surprisingly stable, my graphics card is poo poo and I don't have much ram so I thought it was gonna chug but its been running silk smooth. I have had the problem with enemies randomly turning invisible though, that poo poo loving sucks, and they supposedly fixed blood spots but they still don't work for me 9 times out of 10.

Someone remind me. I recall meeting a hosed up little dude somewhere that was a sorcery apprentice from the academy. He asked if I ever found a spare or had no need of the key to the academy if I could oh so kindly give him one. Well I’m done at the academy (I think) and would like to help the friend along. Anyone care to point me towards where this dude was?

Yeah he's at a church right near the entrance to the area. However he won't take the key if it's your only one, it seems like you have to find a second somewhere -- if anyone has any hints on that it would be appreciated

For Faith builds at least it works a lot like tabletop RPG - low levels what few spells I could cast were for the occasional extra heal to save on HP flasks or a fireball or two against a tough foe, then I'd need to rely on my weapons (you get a faith scaling weapon art in Limgrave, just swapped it around on a few weapons til I picked a favorite) 95% of the time. Around level 40~ I had enough upgrades to my flasks that I could balance out mana flasks and actually start casting more often and I could afford to use spells on most big enemies I fought rather than just one. Now at level 82 I pretty much just hurl lightning bolts like an angry Gwyn against everything except trash mobs. Or I'm like a WoW frost wizard, round up a bunch of enemies and take them to a funnel point then blast them with laser beams out of my eyes.

That was the first way I went since I couldn't get across the bridge without dying on account of hitting this area immediately after the tutorial with my starting wretch and being very stupid, I thought there was that path and the path to the boss, which you can also more easily get to by going that way anyway. I couldn't get by the two monsters on the bridge though, I need to go back and do that soon I think. What's the other third way, the one that leads to the room with the tougher ghost enemy? That room doesn't seem to have anything and I haven't bothered beating him. Is there something worthwhile there?

Minor disappointment about Raya Lucaria: I noticed there were two entrances and I thought, oh, cool, maybe there are two ways into this dungeon and I'm going to need to pick my approach, or maybe there's an upside or downside to east. But then if you use the key at the southern entrance it just teleports you to the northern one.

Man, I am not sure what happened.  Roundtable: Almost everyone has hosed off or died now. The skeleton man attacked me, I sent D the hug man to his death and the hugger told me she tricked me and to gently caress off. The spell man left for some reason and also the other guy with Jon Snow hair is gone too. And I got a red corpse man telling me to gently caress off as well. This drat game.Also I am at work onsite today so no slacking off playing Rings but I pulled up a FightinCowboy video and learned where I actually am supposed to go for the 2nd big boss lol - I completely missed this area and the map you get. So that'll be fun to move things along as I have just been exploring and exploring. I may be too high level for the boss in the magic place.  Strom Cuzewon posted:Yeah, Those are the three routes.

I just want to say that there are few things as satisfying as blowing up the loving chariot in Fringefolk's and getting a goddamn great bow made out of Erdtree for the trouble. Full-clearing the place in question was a hoot.  What I really gotta do is find me some more miracles, though. knobgobblin posted:I've got a halberd paladin build with barricade shield now and it's amazing to facetank any hit and then keep guard countering This is what my character has evolved into naturally; there are a LOT of good halberds relatively early on, and guard countering with them feels amazing. And then you can get both barrier shield and the Turtle Shield which has it naturally AND regens your stamina, and it's just perfect. I was going to use swords, but that halberd life found me first. quote:If anyone's looking for a great moveset in a halberd I totally recommend farming a guardian swordspear Personally, I can recommend the Dragon Halberd at the far end of Siofra River, by taking that lone teleporter up to the fringe of the Eternal City. It's got spear-pokes on R1, sweeps on R2, a slam on jump R1, and the L2 imbues it with lightning and frost, which allows you to absolutely bully everything in the earlier parts of the game. You only need to get past the annoying archers in Siofra and then fight a de-powered Dragonkin Soldier, which isn't too difficult from Torrent-back. It helps that there's a ton of other valuable loot down there.

Disclaimer: I've yet to open the Raya doors; as an INT caster, I'm kinda envious towards FTH. I've seen boring INT spells so far, while the icons and descriptions of the FTH (and the few FTH/INT) spells I saw so far seem to be flashier or more interesting, considering books, Beast Clergy spells and Dragon Communion spells. Is this going to change anytime soon? Anyway, part of the feelsbad sorcery builds is managing health/stamina/FP other than the damage stat, feels like you have to take care of an extra stat compared to normal weapon users. When I noticed I was spamming Carian Slicer, I was wondering myself "why are you playing like a melee character, but with a mana bar?" but I had no decent INT scaling weapons, and, I repeat, I've not been in Raya yet.

TeaJay posted:I'm trying to fight Magma wyrm as a sorcerer (spells and crystal sword +5)and he's pretty tough! his rushing attack in a small space is quite hard to dodge out of when you can't see the burning parts all that well. Also a bit hard to find summons for the fight, it seems. One of my brave helpers got killed by the first attack from the boss, which is not unusual compared to how some of my own attemps went. I used the Headless to tank, and rock throw with the meteroite staff did a ton of damage to him and staggers him after 3-4 full hits. One of the few bosses I beat on the first try.

For Int characters, if you can manage to beat the boss of Caria Manor, you'll get an ash of war that will turn any twinblade into your new favorite weapon (at least until you get the Moonlight Greatsword I know you all rolled Int to wield)

Cephas posted:If you're doing an Int build and like melee then don't sleep on Moonveil, it's a really great weapon. I had been using a shield and magic partizan +2 before i switched to it, and it's just a massive upgrade in offensive capabilities. the weapon art for it does good AoE damage and the strong version insta-crumples most enemies. I stumbled upon this weapon and it instantly made me want to raise my DEX a few points so I can wield it. Been using the crystal sword for now but the weapon art for Moonveil is insane. That said, I did try to put on Radagon's scarseal ("raises attributes, but increases damage taken") to try the Moonveil and though - is this item a trap? Is the stat increase enough to offset the damage increase? Especially for a astrologer who is squishy to begin with. PaybackJack posted:I used the Headless to tank, and rock throw with the meteroite staff did a ton of damage to him and staggers him after 3-4 full hits. I did not have the chance to summon a spirit in that fight. Come to think a lot of fights have been that way. I wonder what's up with that. But I managed to beat it together with someone who basically just threw blue beams around and staggered the boss super fast. Maybe they were using the Moonveil? The effect looked similar

the damage taken increase is like 5%, its nothing at all really. and yeah, moonveil is really good. plus it has the bleed build up of a normal uchi as well so you get those fun procs thrown in. not sure how it compares at +10 vs a normal weapon that can go to 25 though.

queeb posted:the damage taken increase is like 5%, its nothing at all really. If it's like previous games, special weapons upgrade faster than normal ones. So +10 special should be equal to +25 normal. Obviously this will depend on the weapon and your stats, but any difference won't be down to special vs normal.

For the people asking about guard countering all the replies I've seen thus far have been talking about shields but you do not need one to guard counter. You will eat some damage blocking without one but it still works.Happy Noodle Boy posted:Holy poo poo (2nd castle final boss?) Rennala fight is loving AWESOME! (Seriously, don’t read if you haven’t done it) 1st phase was neat and almost too easy but very dynamic with lots of things moving around you. Then we get some real loving Rom poo poo with the settings and then she starts summoning bosses are you loving kidding me The first phase is pretty much Deacons of the Deep from DS3 but good. Loved From putting hosed up Hogwarts in the game. beep by grandpa posted:good for you and congrats, I just had this happen lol I had no idea she summoned anything because I had her locked down with R2s during the very end of the fight. So I went to the wiki to look at the greatswords as I want a cooler one and am 30+ hours in with only that one from the early caravans outside Stormhill (I have the sword of swords but the colossal weapons are a bit too slow for my taste). All the coolest looking ones have useless stat requirements for me like ARC or INT except for Sword of Milos except the wiki has it listed with item icon but not location. How does that happen?
