Both
>>
>>182112613
Kinda both. It's a quintessential shitter weapon, same as the Farron Greatsword.
>>
>>182112767
>>182112836
Well, shit. I've been throwing around ideas for weapons on a quality setup, and was trying to do a winter-y/Follower type character.
>>
>>182113049
Ain't worth it, frost buildup isn't high enough to inflict frostbite and there are better straight swords with more reach on quality.

I mean, it's a pretty weapon, to be sure, but it's mid tier at best
>>
>>182112579
Yes, but you need to be a little tryhard if you want to consistently win against summoner hosts.

You're a tryhard if you even try to actually kill a host that's ganking.

It's not bad, who says this?

The only time it's bad is when you try to lock on to monsters larger than your screen, and that's mostly necessity since you by definition can't lock onto more than one point on it's body.

So what is the dumb assholes guide to stat growth for DaS3?

If im just going to sword and board and use whatever armor i can while not fat-rolling? What's the best starting class for that and what should i min-max?
>>
>>182113049
Don't listen to this >>182113140 guy, Irithyll SS is a great SS. It's not the best but it reaches decent AR on 40/40 and is one of the longest Straight Swords with the same range as the Dark Sword with less stamina consumption, thrusting R2s and the Stance WA which is amazing. The Frost buildup is also high enough to be inflicted in combat if you hit multiple times.

>>
>>182113226
full moon
>>
>>182113679
1. Armor is worthless outside of poise. Unless you're using a weapon with hyperarmor frames, don't bother minmaxing for anything but fashion.

2. Hit 27 Vigor as soon as possible, then at least 35 for end-game purposes.

3. Quality is the most generic path you can go.

4. Either Warrior or K***ht classes are best for generic melee builds.

It's not so much about the camera as it is about the cramped areas in which you face large enemies. Cleric Beast in Bloodborne is a perfect example.

why the fuck do people not use this weapon as intended
needless to say they died due to trying to use the WA after all their FP was gone resulting in them taking an R2 to the chin
>>
>>182115034
>>182113484

i forgot to add that some bosses also like to fly around and use fast movements which really messes with the camera if you're locked on
>>
>>182114884
Yes

A lot of people will name their character 'Knight [Name]' because it's entry level RPfag naming, but Knight is censored to K***ht, so you end up seeing that everywhere instead
>>
>>182115306
i've noticed people using "sir" as well i think people like to use that instead if they want to RP as a knight

The only other option is the Murky Hand Scythe since that's the only dagger that scales well Heavy, but I doubt you have the INT/FAI to use it.

>>182116026
Depends on what you want. If you want to use miracles offensively Lightning Arrow from The Ringed City is a must. Lightning Stake, Sunlight Spear and in invasions/closed spaces Lightning Storm are also good choices. For support miracles Projected Heal, Med Heal, Replenishment, Soothing Sunlight and Replenishment are all great. And of course if you're buffing Darkmoon Blade is great unless you are using Crucifix or Murky Hand Scythe in which case you Dark Blade.

Bleed build options:

Carthus Rogue buffing w/ Heavy / Raw / Sharp, or
Bleed infuse with leveling Luck?

I want to shred boss HP.

>>182118317
Bleed with Luck. If you want to use Rouge you're still better off going a Luck build, just with Hollow infusions instead.

>>182118137
I'd assume he's talking about using CE to change your name.
>>
>>182118317
use either heavy/bleed spiked mace or hollow/sharp wardens twinblades, those are the useful for building bleed, though if you go sharp or heavy it's more of a str/dex build that just happens to bleed every now and then.

I'd say heavy with rouge, in PvE you should be able to bleed using a full stamina bar but in PvP I would never bet on getting bleed

Dark Souls 2 is specifically designed for players to spice up their playstyles. The fact that you can still get through an area with your normal playstyle (albeit it's extremely challenging) is the most rewarding feeling.
>>
>>182119339
My first time through I almost broke my computer in rage because I kept running the lower path while getting sniped by those shits on the upper path.

My second time I just brute-forced the upper path by de-spawning everything. I have to admit, it felt satisfying as fuck murdering all those Astrologists at melee range.

If you're going to attend a FC, there is no restriction on Ashen usage so you may as well put the ring slot to better use. But Wolf is only good if your weapon has hyperarmor frames and your fashion is short on poise.

Hitting 120 means you don't get to invade anymore and you don't get to use or fight against interesting weapons. Everybody uses the same 3-4 top-tier meta builds and that's it. So your choices for pvp is arena/fcs where you fight against cookie cutter tryhards or invading where you fight against 4 cookie cutter tryhards. It's not fun, interesting or enjoyable at all. Pvp is dead after 80.

You can invade any endgame area reliably at 120. And you might have a bad experience with it but arena and invasion PvP is pretty varied at 120, not everyone is some reddit tryhard.

But they didn't remove it, you dumbass.
From went back to the Demon's Souls design where upon death you lose 30% of your max health in one go but that's the maximum health loss and it doesn't decrease any more than that.

And if you die to "unfair shit" then tough tits. There are no unfair sections in DS3 so each death is deserved by the player.

That's bullshit and you know it. The game uses deaths as a learning experience, but there's a bunch of situations where deaths are unavoidable if you're going in blind.

There's no way of knowing that one of those random hollows has a Pus of Man inside of it. Or that there's a sandworm that's going to sandwich you with the ballista in Smouldering Lake if you run for the Old Demon King fog door. Or that a Pontiff doggo is going to ambush you on the bridge into Irithyll (or that he'll chase you down into the swamp if you run). Or a bunch of other things.

But then again nobody should ever use an Ember with the expectation of keeping it for an extended period of time. Un-Embered is the "natural" state of gameplay, Embered is if you're a shitter who needs help.

>>
>>182133919
Your math is faulty. Being Embered gives you 30% more HP. That does not mean that unembered health is 30% less. It's more like 23% less.

For an easier problem to illustrate the point, 150 is 50% more than 100. 100 is roughly 66.67% of 150.

>Un-Embered is the "natural" state of gameplay,
No it's not. Everything about the established game mechanics over the course of the series prove you wrong.

In DeS / DaS 1 and DaS 2 it was established that the "natural" state of the player is the body / human form which in DeS / DaS 2 made you at max health but something that was consistent across ALL SOULS GAMES is that when you're in your "natural" state (i.e in human / body form) you're also able to summon phantoms. That is the "natural state" of gameplay and Dark Souls 3 implements the Demon's Souls system where when you defeat a boss, you "regain your body back", which returns you to full health and enables online interactions.

>>182133632
>>182134174

Being max hollowed in DaS2 or being in phantom form in DeS was trivialized by the Ring of Binding / Cling Ring that allowed you to have 75% of of your max HP.

The Bloodborne entry is all kinds of stupid.
It counts areas that are like sub-areas or bonfire equivalents that don't have a boss or a real level tied to them. For example Forbidden Grave, Moonside Lake, Great Bridge Graveyard of the Darkbeast, Wet Nurse's Lunarium, Logarius' Seat, Vileblood queen's chamber and Altar of Despair are boss lamps you get after defeating the area boss and should not be counted as separate areas.

But at the same time it simplified the Chalices because the Chalices have multiple levels (layers) in each and there's Pthumeru Chalice set of multiple levels, then you unlock Central Pthumeru Chalice with multiple levels and then you unlock Lower Pthumeru with multiple levels and so on.

Further, you only find Hintertomb Chalice within Central Pthu-in-loo, and you find different chalices within different places of the story so the map for the chalices should document where you find them in the story and that they have multiple parts in them.

In all the souls games you find them in the eye of the storm, small safe spots surrounded by hordes of monsters and ruined infrastructure, almost always completely alone. But they act as if everything was as it should be, unmoved by the state of things. It kind of creeps me out. How did they survive this long? What did they do all this time? Why are they seemingly unaware of the world falling apart?
>>
>>182136374

I never found it weird
>>
>>182136374
Not really, there all generally some combination of badass, retarded and insane so it makes a certain level of sense that they would be reasonably calm when not in direct combat

Also almost all of them are aware that the world is wrekt, they either don't care, have some goal they're working toward or are insane
>>
>>182127114
why all naked tho?
>>
>>182136635
Almost everybody in the first two games. Less so in DS3, because everybody is either in firelink shrine which is a very detached location or on a journey, fulfilling a task or rotting in a cell. But even then they are unusually chill about it. Why exactly do you not find it weird? They are stranded in a deadly, crumbling place and they act like if everything was as it shoud be.

I think it's partially because of the setting being so far gone apocalyptic (at least around the time we get to it all) that they no longer really give a shit and partially just the dev team not giving any shits about the NPC / mob placement.

It's incredibly jarring to see Pate sit casually on a bench in Forest of the Fallen Giants while monsters chase you and he barely has anything to say about it. Or Eygon just chill and sit on the rocks and not have any reaction to the monsters that are chasing you. I think for a large part it's just lazy / bad game design and when you question it they'll just throw their hands in the air and shout "VIDEOGAME!" .


>In all the souls games
It's mostly only true for the Dark Souls series. In Demon's Souls and Bloodborne the NPCs were incredibly aware of their situations and also very worried about the state of things, depending on the character. In Demon's Souls the developers used planned encounters with NPCs to illustrate just in how fucked up state Boletaria is in by making you bump into Ostrava who will warn you about enemies and ask for help and indeed, the enemies will attack him given chance and he will also return the favour! And in general the NPCs in Demon's Souls tend to really kind of convincingly react to Boletaria's state. Especially Ostrava is in complete bewilderment about how much into shit Boletaria has fallen and has a very good scene in 1-3 where he's being chased by Soul starved soldiers and you can really hear the panic in his voice. Or when you bust Biorr out of the jail cell and if you haven't killed the Fat Minister in the area before that, he will have special dialogue and curses the fat minister as he's killing it.

my first souls game was sotfs had fun good and good 60fps through the games (i hate soul memory tho), then i tried ds3 i like it a lot but isn't a novelty anymore, lot framerate dips an qol improvements

It's a good game but it has its flaws. It's a nightmare for completitionists because of how ambiguous many game mechanics are. The difficulty is way less fair than in later games, as it rewards knowledge rather than skill. And all the arch demons except king Allant were a disappointment.
>>
>>182137483

Ds1 is the original speed of the game. Yes its slower and unrefined, but hey, its a solid game experience and youll pick it up. I struggled at the start of Ds2 simply because of the weird motions of the characters. The backstabs still haunt my nightmares. Bopping people on the neck was the weirdest thing

In addition, Bloodborne also does a very convincing job of communicating that the NPCs think the town's being fucked up. While the "night of the hunt" seems to be a regular occurrence in Yharnam, citizens of Yharnam indeed lock their doors and at first tell you to fuck off or feel sorry for you as you're left outside.
Then as the night progresses, the people start to become increasingly loopy and some of them start to outright go insane. Some characters like the prostitute and the old woman ask if you know of any safe places and they acknowledge that "just shutting indoors" isn't necessarily safe. The game establishes how the citizenry in the setting normally deal with this sort of occurrence (shut the doors, light up incense to ward off the beats) and while Yharnam as a town is odd, they actually do have the citizenry actually panic about the beasts. The old woman in the Chapel will lose her nerve and has breakdowns.

When the Blood moon comes, a lot of the citizens stop being loopy and they either become straight up dead or you can only hear beastly sounds through the doors and the windows.

The Hunters in the setting of Bloodborne generally have decently calm nerves due to their veterancy, but all of the NPCs generally seem to acknowledge the situation Yharnam's in and the gravity of the situation.

>>182137181
>They are stranded in a deadly, crumbling place and they act like if everything was as it shoud be.

Yeah, it feels just really unconvincing. Like Cornyx is trapped in a cage in a place where they make Undead into fucking soup and torture them in hideous ways and when you come across him he just sounds kinda bored and nonchalant about the whole thing. It feels incredibly unconvincing and while yeah, DS3 seems to be mostly about being kinda depressed, if EVERYONE is just [depression] [nervous laughter at the end of every sentence] then it detracts from the impact of the setting on the player.
>>
>>182138180
I find it hard to have a clear understanding of it because it gives me a strong Silent Hill vibe. In Silent Hill whenever you meet someone they most often have an unsettlingly calm demeanour despite being in the worst place to be, which builds into you not being sure whether they are actual people trapped in here with you or just another manifestation.

I would say that whatever setting Fromsoft does next, I hope that they would adopt the "freshly destroyed" style of Demon's Souls / Bloodborne rather than "shit was fucked hundreds of years ago and nobody cares so why should you?" style of the Dark Souls series.

I do love Dark Souls, but there's not a feeling of distress in Dark Souls the same way there is in Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. And From really needs to stop putting NPCs directly in the path of monsters if they're not going to be any effort into making them react appropriately / have a discernable reason to WHY the monsters or the NPC aren't reacting.

And put in some choice sequences like the Ostrava / Biorr segments from Demon's Souls, Siegmeyer and Chaos Washing Machines, being summoned to Anri's world to kill Aldrich and Siegward / Fire demon from DS3 and Eileen / Henryk from BB to show that there's more to the game world and more people reacting to things than just the player.

>>182138658
To me it gives a "lazy developer"-vibe. To me it's a big boost to the atmosphere and immersion when they show NPCs reacting appropriately to threats or design the scenes in a way that gives an illusion of like they do instead of having them blatantly ignore all danger and just sit casually in the middle of enemies selling stuff like nothing's wrong in the world.

At least in Demon's Souls, Filthy Man had specific dialogue related to explaining why the lizardmen aren't accosting him.

Dark pyromancies are pretty good, particularly Black Flame, and they work the same as regular pyromancies so there's no reason for a pyromancer to not use them if they fit on the build.

Dark sorceries are pretty good too, but they work best with pyro stats. They're still decent on a 60 Int build with the Court Sorcerer staff or Murky Longstaff, but your magic damage sorceries are going to be better on enemies that don't resist magic or aren't particularly weak to dark. Though if you know you're going into an area with enemies weak to dark, a pure Int sorcerer can just swap to dark sorceries.

Dark miracles are pretty shit though. The Gnaw spells can be effective on bosses weak to bleed, but Lifehunt is pretty bad, Dead Again is fucking garbage, Dark Blade only scales off Faith, and the rest don't scale at all. Dark Blade can be extremely good on a Faith buff build with a weapon that has natural Dark damage though, particularly the Crucifix of the Mad King.

And you don't actually have to drive the miracle seller to despair to learn the Dark miracles. That's only if you want access to them early.

Holy shit, i thought it would be noring but DS3 NG+ is fun as fuck. It feels more canon in terms of enemy power level. Soul of Cinder is actually an epic fight, it feels more like a final boss and less like a buffed Lothric Knight.

I honestly think the game would be more fun if the first playthrough was scaled up to or near NG+ levels.

If you try respeccing over than five times you'll get a message saying that you'd turn into a maggot.

What a bunch of idiots.

>hours of grindan
You're doing something terribly wrong if you're grinding greystone for hours. Like not being in PBWT or something.

And not only is Blue Dragon 100% capable (and initially intended) to be run past, the penalty for not meeting a weapon's stat requirements is far, far lower than it is in any other game in the series, meaning that if you really want to fucking shoot arrows all day at the dragon, you can still do it without leveling up.
Congrats on dropping a game all the way at the literal end of it, though.

>>182153585

There isn't much lore about the difference between birdface corvians and humanface corvians. But I think that the reason why corvians have human faces is because they escaped their world and the humanity of our world began to affect them and transform them into hollows. Similar case is the Purging Monument that has taken so many curses into it that it's begun to grow hollows on it. Whatever comes in contact with enough dark/humanity starts to take the real shape of men which is a hollow.

Snake men from ds1. Now they've overrun the dragon-related areas to become drakes themselves. Or maybe were servants of dragons.

They're just giant crabs.

Huge corrupted monsters from the graveyard outside of the cathedral. seem to have wandered from there outward, hence the crucifix

Larger version of the infected undead you see outside the church. Now more maggot than undead. You can still see the undead's armos poking out of the bass. Probably carryover from the painted world's rot.

rotted corvians from the painted world, same as the one you first see in the cave but angry. seem to be making their way towards Gael and the painting scrap he hides. Or coming from it.

It's underpowered compared to pretty much everything. What sets it apart is the magic damage 2HR2 and the divine modifer. Though it's kind of pointless to think of the divine modifier as something special on a faith build, it's the standard. I still find it a fun invasion weapon and of course it's the Leroy cosplay build weapon.

I'm about to start my second playthrough and currently have 41 luck, 40 Dex and 30 STR. In my first playthrough I went the Hollow Infusion route for my main weapons. However for my next playthrough, while I still would like to go the Hollow route, I don't want to limit myself to weapons with innate bleed effect.

People said that Hollow infusions got nerfed yet on Mugen, Hollow infusing still gets a higher AR than going Sharp or Refined. Also Hollow infusion only decreases base damage slightly while not negatively effecting the scaling of other stats where as Sharp and Refined infusions do.

I mean unless a weapon has a natural dex scaling of A or S, Hollow infusion seems to be almost always the better choice for my current stats. And besides, even if I don't use weapons with an inherent bleed aux, I can still use Carthous Rouge and that benefits from my high luck stat anyways.

Bottom line: should I just stick with the Hollow, Blood infusion gems for my next playthrough?

Chime of want is the best chime for hexes when infused with dark. Black witches staff is a jack of all trades, master of none tool, stay away. Staff of wisdom is the best for sorceries, damage output gets ridiculous with the right build. 50/50 is excessive if you're only using hexes, as it softcaps at 30. It's not a bad idea to go up to 40/40 to use affinity, or even 60/60 if you want 2 more orbs and more damage out of everything in a higher level build.

Don't try to make a quality pyro with huge weapons. You'll be garbage because of how spread out your stats are. Just get base stats for a weapon you like then infuse it with dark or chaos. The Astora one works really well for that. It has B scaling IIRC, it's relatively light weight, and it has a fun moveset.

You could go with a shield, or you could get the crypt black sword and infuse it with dark. You only need 20 strength to use it, or 40 if you want the one handed moveset. It's a very strong weapon on hex builds when buffed with dark weapon, probably one of the best in the game.

I had 3 giant souls the first time I did it iirc, would die in one hit and had to keep repairing my weapon. you're right it's not a hard fight but I made it one by panicking after 10 minutes of wailing on him

It was especially nice since some of the Soul locations weren't exactly spelled out. One dropped from the Ancient Dragon, of all things, and the one in Black Gulch were probably the two that people missed if they were going to miss any. In the Wolnir context, it could be shattering his bracelets until he takes damage normally, or keep the bracelets ornamental and find various small items throughout the Catacombs, maybe hidden inside the Skeleton Ball.

pus of mans were very rare and had a long transformation period giving you enough time to kill them before they erupt

literally just run behind the worm and let the ballista kill it

the doggos aren't very hard even on the first time

the real bullshit are all the bosses late game having large as fuck health pools and two/three health bars but at the same they're the endgame bosses and should be harder, but i feel like they could have done it differently

You should kill yourself for that opinion alone.

Dark Souls 3 PvP, and Dark Souls PvP in general suffers from so many flaws that's not even funny starting from the good old Peer to Peer feature, not only does it limit invasions but makes a lot of fights into a lagfest
Adding to the already sketchy netcode you have the terrible hitbox in weapons, it feels like every single straight and great sword have a ghost range that nobody can predict, which in result makes any manner of timing and distance micromanagement in Dark Souls pointless
Now speaking of Dark Souls 3 alone, the fact that I can do never ending rolls from hits is reason enough to discard its combat as absolute garbage, and the lack of proper punishment from sipping estus doesn't help neither (being able to move while drinking estus is just retarded)
Add to this the already fucked up features in the game like retarded movesets, pointless infusions, crippling patches, worthless convenants and terrible invading mechanic, it all works together to make Dark Souls 3 PvP a steaming pile of shit

It does though? It increases the skillcap to have to actaully predict your opponents rolls and then time then. Would you rather have infinite unpunishable rolls or that rolling is super shit because you can't dodge anything.

It would if every weapon culd rollcatch. Most weapon classes can't and plenty of them can't attack fast enough to make people ever need to roll non reactively. Since reaction rolls can't be punished it kills all variety in PvP.

STR/FAI, DEX/FAI, STR/INT, DEX/INT

STR/FAI has the advantages of lots of staggering weapons and it being slightly easier to hit damage softcaps due to the way 2-handing works (Roughly 27-28 STR is all you need, you can hit 30 if you want a greatshield), as well as having a wide range of different useful weapons if you're willing to hit the second DLC

DEX/FAI using DMB/LB buffed Sellsword Twinblades is considered one of the top speed clear tools around due to the disgusting DPS capabilities, but you do need to sacrifice in non-damage stats to hit the 40 DEX softcap. With another advantage of this build being your maxed cast speed, allowing you to mix more ranged miracles into your repertoire

The Int hybrid builds are basically great for stealth runs, using buffs and the hidden body/spook spells to get around mobs. DEX again is high DPS with low survivability and access to faster ranged casts, with STR giving you more room for things like VIG and END

INT/FAI is taking advantage of the fact that most enemies in PvP are either weak to fire or dark, and abusing spells such as Dorhy's Gnawing on anything weak to bleed. You have access to most spells in the game, and with the Crystal Chime you can cast even the normal spells and miracles at reasonably high power. Dark Spells and Dark Miracles are especially powerful in PvP, and you can use all 4 of the main elemental infusions very well, although you get more damage out of Dark/Chaos infusion. I personally like to run Dark LKS (Since I always go at least 18 dex for max cast speed with Sage Ring +2) as a mob slayer, saving my spells for tougher enemies and bosses. You can adjust the build to suit whether you prefer mainly handling business in melee range or from afar, and the only weakness is you tend to rely on lighter armour and your element infused weapons can't reach the same damage capabilities of non-elemental weapons buffed

If any of these grab you, I can post a base build
>>
>>182181937

*Dark spells and miracles are especially powerful in PvE

tl;dr: Either go with a weapon buff build or a dark/pyro caster

buff builds can either have flexibility/survivability ALA STR/FAI or massive ranged and melee DPS with weak survivability ALA DEX/INT

INT/FAI build can be flexed between melee focused or ranged focused

>>182180426
Sellsword twinblades with sharp infusion and dumping everything into dex. It caps at aound 80. Use some souls to buy resins, nearly every enemy is weak to fire so that should be a priority. Lightning is he second best, then magic which isn't resisted by many enemies but isn't strong against many either and finally dark, which is weak against nearly every enemy but gives a very big boost to specific bosses.

It's speedrunner approved, so it'll be the fastest you can clear the game three times.
>>
>>182181937
Thanks anon, int/fai sounds interesting especially since I never really went much for magic in souls games (I always end up going for a "knightly" vibe with a miracle or two mixed in). Starting with pyromancer and using pyromancies+ some raw weapon should be fine for the start right? I only played through the game once and I'm not very good or knowledgeable about it so if you could give a few pointers I'd be very grateful.
>>
>>182182637
I never tried the twinblades either so that also sounds fun. Thanks for answering anon.

and endurance?

>>182182442

You want to use Sellsword Twinblades and a dagger, and have enough ATT for CMW, Hidden Body and ideally a ranged spell, but that's not completely necessary. Use hidden body to get past mobs along with a slumbering dragoncrest ring, use CMW buffed daggers for big damage on unavoidable mobs, use CMW buffed twinblades for MASSIVE DAMAGE on bosses and the like. Crystal Rapier will be useful since it scales with both DEX and INT, and depending on how high you want to level you can also use weapons such as Greatsword of Judgement, Crystal/Sharp Astora Greatsword, Crystal Flamberg (Great early/mid game INT weapon, basically a lite version of the GSoJ and has bleed all with lowish stat requirements). Bear in mind you'll likely be the embodiment of a glass cannon so plan accordingly, use items such as alluring skulls so you're not constantly using up hidden body casts, and bring plenty of ashen estus! You're not aiming to fight mobs outside of easy farming spots, so bring enough to make up for any mistake in boss fights and make the rest ashen for more magic casts

>>182182658

At the start, put one level into DEX so you can use the broadsword, make the broadsword raw, use the Dark Hand if you plan on hitting PvP and put all your other levels into VIG until VIG hits at least 27. I'm currently about to hit Pontiff at level 26 (put a level into END by mistake) and I'm not gonna pretend I'm a top player so it really is a good way to start yourself off. The additional benefit of this being that farming early covenant items becomes a cakewalk. Get the Carthus Flame Arc for your Broadsword or use Magic Weapon and you'll be golden, ranged spells aren't that necessary since you'll be killing most enemies within the span of a single stamina bar
>>
>>182183573
Thanks anon.
>>
>>182183907

Aye man, no worries. And for PvE, once you hit 27 vig you're good for a long while, although you probably want at least 35 for endgame stuff depending on your dodge skill, So once you've hit 27 VIG, just start working on things like INT/FAI so you can use spells, END so you have more swings, and ATT for more casts. End result will be a character that can handle itself in melee and dominate PvE at range. Soul of Cinder melts when hit with consecutive Dorhy's Gnawing as does the first boss of TRC

You'll want to upgrade the Izalith Staff for Dark Spells, the Sunless Talisman for Dark Miracles, and the Crystal Chime for normal spells/miracles since it will get scaling with both INT/FAI, allowing you to come just under the damage levels of pure INT or pure FAI in regards to their damage spells
