verbal enema posted:i'm realizing that my starting whatever item for incantations kinda sucks even though i think i have it +20 Mostly STR = Clawmark Seal Faith <60 = Godslayer's Seal Faith >60 = Erdtree Seal Int/Fai = Golden Order Seal Fai/Arc = Dragon Communism Seal if you have another seal in your offhand you get its bonuses even if you're not using it to cast, so you can use the spell scaling on the right hand one and the passive boosts on the left. Works for staves too. Godslayer's is a real workhorse because you get it early and it boosts some of the best incants in the game

Try looking around in Castle Stormveil. Really get into all the nooks and crannies in there, poke around in the back rooms you might have initially missed

Epic High Five posted:Mostly STR = Clawmark Seal The starting Finger Seal is the best one if you have low(<25) faith and aren't a strength build. Frenzied Flame Seal is best if you have a faith/quality build, with something like 25 str/40 faith/40 dex. It's also worth noting that weapon buffs/healing only scale with the faith scaling of your seal. So if you're an 80 strength 15 faith build, then the Finger Seal will give you a better Electrify Armament then Clawmark Seal would. Dragon Communion/Erdtree/Frenzied/Golden Order are also nice because they're weightless. If you're using mainly stuff that doesn't care about your incant scaling like Golden Vow or Flame Cleanse Me, then using one of those four is going to be best. You don't even need to meet the stat requirements of the seal, since falling short of those just sets the incant scaling to 60.

I'll have to tinker, until now I've only ever used those buffs you mentioned but I'm using the Clawmark and have been tinkering with Electrify Armament since I have the FP for it on my buff cycle and it's essentially free damage. Only offense I use Faith for is optic blast to kill birds and annoying fuckers, it's kukri for pulling

Angry Diplomat posted:Black Flame spells are good against basically anything since the lingering blackflame damage effect ignores all resistances, but yeah they can be horrifically strong against anything vulnerable to fire. I find that the trick is to not try to use black flame as a nuke - don't trade hits, just stay mobile and opportunistically lob fireballs whenever you have a good chance to do so. The attrition adds up really fast over the course of a fight. yeah the trick is that you don't need to charge the fireball at all for it to do good damage. charging is more damage and therefore more fp efficient but you can hold off on doing it until you get a period of time you absolutely know is safe.

Very interested in running this str/int build as a sort of banished sorcerer type. I only want to use 4 spells, including terra magica. Spells will supplement my heavy stone club. I'm thinking glintshard comet, stars of ruin, and spiral shard. Any input on hard hitting cool spells that aren't night shard/comet? Unless those are just the GO TO damage spells thanks to Craightt.

It comes out super fast, does good damage, mana cheap. Very satisfying spell. Can also serve as a gateway drug to other melee sorceries like gavel and moonblade. Or Loretta’s spells which are slow but basically a sniper rifle.

I don't think they're terribly efficient but it's the magic weapon equivalent of a colossal sword. One's a fuckoff huge hammer and the other is a fuckoff huge mortar iirc edit - you also just get their full set in Altus off a single enemy, no need to farm like the rest

Oh and I'm pretty sure the curved great club has weirdly amazing magic scaling. The extra surface area lets you rub more magic juice into it I guess.

It’s the “standard” model and probably like the third best option behind the ones that give bonuses to dragon communion/godskin incantations, bearing in mind the big bonus of incantations is that they don’t need as much levels to play with all your toys. What spells are you using, and on what enemy types? Edit, beaten by a mile, disregard

lite_sleepr posted:Very interested in running this str/int build as a sort of banished sorcerer type. I've been tinkering with several int builds from str/int to dex/int to int/int for PvP purposes and I must say that poo poo is hard. Issue isn't so much damage, that you got aplenty, it's redundancy. Where incantations can offer utility, sorceries provide almost nothing but more damage at various ranges. So many different tools overlap and fill the same function you often end up not using them. The reason to invest in str is because of heavy weapons, but those require stamina and well.. strenght. Issue is, once you pick a proper weapon, the weapon AoWs oftentimes outperform the spells that now underperform and feel lackluster. Having stamina means less mind and having less mind means less spells. I ended up forgoing all spells to have powerstanced halberds and ice spear. A beast in melee, but not something you'd first picture when tinkering with str/int. Instead of spells I suggest testing different magic/ice ashes of war to complement your build. Ice spear is a hell of a mid range burster. Glintblade phalanx, when put on a weapon does enough poise to stancebreak bigger enemies, completely surpasses the spell. Glintstone shard with the followup charge is always good. Then there's waves of darkness that is solid good. If you stll insist on spells, carian piercer and greatsword are solid choises. I'm personally not fan of Haima school, but reports suggest they perform very well. Also, Rock sling is a good non-magical source of damage. My personal opinion is that Stars of ruin sucks.

About to finish my first playthrough. Haven't burned the tree yet. Should I go for Ranni's ending or should I LET CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD? I'm not 100% sure I'd do another full playthrough. At least not anytime soon, if that effects anything. And any ending I don't do I'll watch a video of. Joke Miriam fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Feb 14, 2023 |

Ranni is the most satisfying ending in the game. The other one you listed is cool as well but the first has the cooler story, side characters, etc imo.

For your first playthrough, I'd avoid the Frenzied Flame ending simply because it means you'll get a couple less tasty lore-filled conversations with Melina. Your call, though - it's really more about what you think feels true to your character.

Just before I commit to an ending, there's conflicting information on the various wiki's I could use help on- You can undo the Three Fingers affliction, and once you do that, you're again eligible for any other ending you like, correct? I'm just exploring the most options I can because I love this game and its world and don't want to lock myself into one ending if possible.

Yes, though to do so involves being very completionist and still results in the change with Melina darth walrus mentioned

If you go Chaos you get to have a cool fire for a head and look at some cool fire, because the world is on fire (and it is cool looking). If you go Ranni you get to take your nebulously corporeal Welsh wife on a honeymoon into space. So really it's just a matter of preference

Just be aware canceling out the frenzied Flame ending involves defeating the most bullshit encounter in the entire game aside from that wolf on the moon plateau. However, you get the satisfaction of defeating the toughest boss in the coolest legacy dungeon.

Yeah, basically AFAIK every other ending can be unlocked well in advance, simultaneously and it all boils down to which one you pick at the very end. Frenzied Flame is the singular exception and it locks you out from the rest. Reversing it is permanent and takes weird steps because it was patched in after the fact IIRC.I Also apparently there's actually a minor variation to it depending on when you get fingered.
