I'm not casting any spells in the webm. The original claim was "you're casting bayle's tyranny through some exploit despite not having a seal equipped" and that is not what is happening. I'm spamming dual reduvia L1, to the point I overswing and continue after the enemy is dead.

What? Why would this need a nerf? It's mediocre for pve and useless for gank squads. It's basically only good as a defensive invader tool against overly aggressive teams.

>>746861967
Not really. It's fine for pve and the nerf made it a lot worse for gankers while it's arguable better for invaders, as it should be.

>>746862032
This is bullshit. Yeah. Needs the same tracking nerf as Stars of Ruin.
>>
>>746865021
Rock sling is sluggish. Just overkill your enemy with pure magic power. I melted Rellana on my first try just by spamming Comet. She didn’t even get the chance to cast her two boob- I mean two moons.

Graven Mass is an 8% magic damage increase. The Magic Scorpion Charm is a 12% magic damage increase. That’s a whopping 20% damage increase when taken together.

LMAO no. Just run around a corner and pop it. It’s hilarious how easy it is to kill groups of threes in tight spaces. Anon is not incorrect when he says it’s absolute bullshit. The two moons will still explode even if the caster dies, assuming they materialize. It’s retarded.

Why is it considered acceptable to complain about literally any spell as overpowered but no weapon can ever slandered as such? The Blasphemous Blade or Giant Crusher w/ Lion's Claw is so comically overpowered yet no one, NO ONE, ever complains about it.
>>
>>746866824
I didn't say against gank squads. By "for" I meant as a took for gankers to use.
It's not bullshit. It's only effective against overly aggressive people. It's a defensive tool that is utterly worthless outside of an invader using it defensively against a gank squad mindlessly rushing him down.

>>746866824
You can do that with anything. I stand still and stormblade the invader until they are dead it always works.

Probably because 95% of this game’s player base consists of martially minded individuals who accentuate their combat with magic instead of using magic alone like the remaining 5%.

This is why it’s always magic that’s being whines about. It’s always martial babies throwing a hissy fit.

I mean, sure? Except no other spell is as conditioned to automate itself the way it does, and no other spell (other than Cherishing Fingers, which appears to also activate automatically even if you’re interrupted mid-cast) have contingencies in the case it fails (if you’re interrupted mid-cast it still nonetheless activates at 2/3 capacity, only lacking the final third explosion which requires you to not be interrupted).

>rock sling
The last patch made Meteorite a lot faster to cast, it's pretty funny and will delete stuff way faster than rock sling or most other spells.
>>
>>746867308
>I mean, sure?
Yep.
>>
>>746867335
I am of the opinion that spells like Meteorite (and Astel’s variant) should have costed WAY more Intelligence… to denote how fucking MASSIVE those spells are in the lore, and gameplay…

Rellana’s moons could only take out a single town, while Astel annihilated an entire fucking civilization and then buried it.

The stat requirements make me scratch my head a bit. Something as massive as Meteorite should have been 60+ Intelligence IMO.

I also wish Founding Rain of Stars was a lot bigger for such a significant legendary spell.

Actually just started Elden Rangz and always do a full INT sort of build in games with magic options. Love me magic. Simple as. Can I get some genuine advice on which equipment and spells I should shoot for early? For example, I already heard I should sprint over for the meteorite staff and rock sling and then staff of loss. What else? I assume my outfit doesn't matter much, but is there anything to get early for Fashion Souls?

It wasn’t complained about hard enough
>>
What’s the best spell to have as an emergency? I noticed if you hold the spell swap button it goes back to the first spell in the list.
>>
>>746868186
Yes, the meteor staff and rock sling are so fucking awesome.

Its a bit later but try rush getting the big beam (comet azure) too. That beam will carry you through 90% of the boss encounters.
Slinging those rocks can stun lock so many enemys.

The real prize is adulas moon blade and rotten rannis moon.

Adulas is so insanely strong its wild. It can strike through walls, if you position yourself right you hit with the blade and the big ice beam off the end will hit guys twice and insta kill 99.99% of invaders.

If you get bored of magic, dont be afraid to dabble in dragon incantations. Rotten Crotch Breath/Scarlett Rot Breath absolutly fucking annihilates everything. It even rapes people immune to scarlet rot but its a hard one to master and get your timing down with so you dont get rushed and gapped.

Scarlet rot breath and beams carried me through the DLC.

>>746869021
>It’s a bit later but try rush getting the big beam (comet azure) too. That beam will carry you through 90% of the boss encounters.
No it won’t. They fucking butchered that spell because they were too terrified a 3 slot spell (THREEEEE SLOTS) would be too powerful. It doesn’t track enemies so it’s impossible to land. Rennala’s version in her fight tracks the player, though. What’s even funnier is her own moon spell in her boss fight is worse (functions more like flame of the fell god) than the one the player gets.
>>
>>746869327
He's right comet azur will rape the game for you. Even using it once (1 time) on a boss to delete 40% of their hp is good.

Anon.. I didnt kbow they nerfed it into the ground.
I know they nerfed rot breath but it was still so ungodly powerful I didnt think to mention it. Unless that got another nerf?

Why have magic if you dont want it to be broken and powerful?

I can grab a hunk of metal and run around hitting people with it right now. What i cant do is conjuring the dead, harness the power of the aether and fire a reality shattering beam or eat the heart of a dragon, gain its powers and blast all who displeased me away. If I pray really hard to Jesus, hes not going to open a shift of light that melts the skin off my boss or something.

How annoying. Magic and incants used to be so much fun. You could just clap every cheek but it took so much work and effort to get to that point. High risk/high reward.

>>746869932
I’ve also long suspected this. Notice how the meteorite staff doesn’t need to be upgraded, despite how primitive looking as a catalyst it is. It’s likely that gravity magic is just naturally potent on its own. Space cows and space bugs can cast gravity magic. Lusat’s conspectus barely requires any intelligence either, and he’s slowly turning into some sort of blue Astel variant. The nature of intelligence is even brought into question. Olivinus sorceries behave a lot more alive (a bunch of stars seeking enemies out) than the Karolos sorceries so perhaps that’s why it needs less intelligence.

But then you have Radagon’s wolves that can cast fucking Comet… …are they high iq wolves, or is casting sorcery instinctual for some forms of life? Could Radagon’s wolves, or Astel, teach or lecture a class of sorcerers? I wonder if that one Onyx (Alabaster?) Lord at the academy was a professor of gravity magic…
>>
>>746868186
Night Comet is easily the most busted spell in the game, way more so than Comet Azur which is just for memes as it doesn't do nearly as much damage and is way more of a pain in the ass to land
All the enemies in the game that rely on input reading have it backfire on them since Night Comet is programmed to have them not react to it. The result is enemies will slowly walk to you as you delete their HP in under half a minute with staff of loss in one hand for the damage boost + your other strongest staff

The only bosses in the base game where Night Comet won't work on as well is Rennala because of her magic resist so you use Rock Sling instead, and big enemies like dragons where you use Spiral Shard instead

>>
>>746870548
Comet Azur does disgusting damage if you stack damage magnifiers and can land it properly, but yeah in general the Comet spells are more efficient since they’re easier to land and do more compressed damage in seconds. Night Comet is especially good if you struggle landing spells on nimble dodge-happy enemies.

They treated casting properly for the first time since Bloodborne, which was probably the first time they had truly unique/interesting animations for their spells that wasn't just generic magic missile variants. Unfortunately 95% of the "BIG SPELLS" are still vastly inferior and not worth it, get beaten by basic ass shit like Carian Slicer, or Glintstone Pebble.

So it's cool they tried and really went all out with some of the insane animations. Just a shame they couldn't balance it.

Did we play different games? You can absolutely spam magic from a reliable distance in the first two games. It’s just weird seeing sorcerers starting with shields. Miyazaki was always more martially minded. Even Big Hat Logan is using a shield. Very silly. Although I guess this could be a nod to how militaristic Vinheim is.

Where is the cheat there?
The opponent looks to be casting either a Bayle incant or the Bear Roar incant, while the player Bleed spams them to death.
The amount of Arcane needed to spam that much bleed that fast and cast all those high level FTH/INT spells is sus, but this could easily be a max level fight.

There is no cheat, he claimed on /vg/ that I(the webm poster) was casting Bayle's Tyranny while dual wielding reduvias somehow, but the spell VFX doesn't look anything like Bayle's Tyranny. The other guy was casting some dragon incant with a long windup and I slashed him up.

You could, but it didn't feel like you were playing the game right and the game threw you so many magic melee options.

It's like nobody on the team conceptualized "How do we make players who want to be "weak when up close" mages and archers" like what Capcom did with Dragon's Dogma.

Elden Ring was the closest with how some early game spells feel better to use than ever before, but they still don't get it.

The fact that after all these years they introduced a hot-key system by holding Y, only to fumble it by not letting it work with spells is insane to me. Just rip off Code Veins skill map system already.

Rogier's set gives you a bonus to weapon skill magic damage and looks decent.
Rennala's crown is ugly, but gives 3 free INT levels.

Souls PvP is terrible. These games were not designed for PvP and never will be. Do you even know what the "high level" gameplay looks like? It's the most uninteresting boring defensive dogshit ever. Both players waiting for their opponent to mess up until the heat death of the universe because everything is reactable and there might as well not be a time limit. If you want to play to not lose, there is nothing your opponent can do about it. Even if you could fix the gameplay, the players are all rejects who cant handle a real competition.

It does. I just used it at the academy. No spell stopped it from happening. I also it around Castle Sol. The phantom knights only occasionally interrupted me.

shoudn't be an issue since running is the best defence in this game. enemies wind up slow ass attacks and their best chance at hitting you is with homing ranged bullshit. like the cum torpedoes.

Stars of Ruin was never broken and it was only nerfed because of constant whiners.

>>746878821
Nobody thought Star Shower would be the exact same sort of ”overpowered” due to nobody picking it over Stars of Ruin (“the higher level spell must be better right bros??? they wouldn’t make a legendary spell worse than its smaller version right bros???”), so nobody complained about Star Shower, even though Star Shower has the same tracking power as pre-nerf Stars of Ruin. Star Shower now has BETTER tracking power than Stars of Ruin.

FromSoft is fucking stupid sometimes.
>>
>>746887573
Sigh.

I wish you morons would actually read patch notes:

— Patch 1.14 added hyperarmor to Rellana's Twin Moons, making the spell much more resistant to interruption during its long casting animation.

They also increased the range massively; particularly the third explosion which is a lot larger than the first two.

Yes the spell was given too much. They probably won’t nerf it either because for some reason people think it’s still crap.
>>
>>746889292
>long casting time
It’s not even long. It only requires 1/2 of the cast length since interruptions won’t cancel the manifested moons, only the final third explosion which requires the caster to not be interrupted. It is a multi faceted spell. Even if the caster DIES the two moons will STILL explode, likely killing your opponent who thought he just won the fight. It’s fucking hilarious. “If I’m going down I’m taking you with me”.
>>
>>746889292
>They probably won’t nerf it either
They shouldn't fucking nerf it, they should fucking buff the other spells like Founding Rain which are something like a 72 fucking Int requirement and useless against anything but giant bosses (so still useless because a million other things can slaughter bosses just as easily, being "good" in select PVE encounters is no fucking metric to go by)

Rellana's Twin Moons being deceptively good is a GOOD thing. Weirdo out there shit like this should be good, instead of boring garbage like Carian Slicer or whatever retarded, 0-investment Ash of War is currently broken.

FROM is stupid but the problem is you can't fucking make a game that is designed primarily for PVE also work in a functional PVP environment, it's just not possible and the PVPers are still in denial about this and are extremely vocal about it because after DS1 they got drunk on their own kool-aid that the Souls formula is totally about the "deep" and honorable PVP despite the core gameplay being all about asymmetry.
This is why some things like are explicitly designed with PvP in mind like the GS of Damnation while others aren't.
>>746889292
>They probably won’t nerf it either because for some reason people think it’s still crap.
Because it fucking is, you can literally just run away because the activation is fucking slow even at 70 DEX
>Oh but if it fires off-
Endure alone lets you tank the first hit and then avoid everything else in case you don't know the timing for rolling, any shield with high magic reduction also lets you ignore it, an uncharged Marais weapon art straight up kills the caster during the animation and wins the trade.
The only way the spell works is against people who don't know anything about it, which applies to 90% of the tools in the game including something as old and basic as Endure>Inescapable Frenzy on any STRfaggot who think their two handed one shot builds are totally niche and nobody can deal with them.
You want actually ridiculously strong spells, look at catch flame, look at any spell chain that can frame trap, nobody cares about Girella's balls because anyone with basic game knowledge knows how to deal with that paper tiger.

Anons keep suggesting the extremely niche speedrunner strats and neglect to explain the situational and highly useful utility spells you'll need to explore.

Carian Slicer is your magic lightsaber, make sure to grab that.

>>
>>746901729
Like 75% of magic is usable in some capacity, it all depends on how you queue up your spells. Some spells are really good as follow-ups to others, and others are true combos with max cast speed. None of the melee spells are bad (Carian spells, catch flame, etc.), and any projectile that either has good tracking or good AoE tends to be very good. The breath spells are good as long as you can scare your opponent or they don't have ranged options of their own.

Vanilla PC? Anything below 150 is dead on vanilla PC.
If you wanna invade on PC I'd recommend seamless (technically it's possible to turn off invasions but it's on by default and the majority of host sissies don't know about it so it's not like you're only invading people that "want" to be invaded ergo gankers)
But it's not like vanilla PC is completely dead. I'd recommend invading around 200 on vanilla. My 222 invader gets decent activity there.

Elden Ring is a 100 hour game with a 50 hour DLC.
The game expects that you're going to reach level 200.
Rellana's Twin Moons require 72 INT. The Light of Miquella requires 72 FTH.
Stop comparing it to Dark Souls that is less than half the length.

>the vague concept of "builds" literally doesn't exist at fucking level 220
It does though.
Some builds require at least level 200 to be functional, because Elden Ring stat softcaps are way higher than any other souls game.
The 125 DS3 meta was supposed to be a level were the average player ended up after finishing the entire game + DLC, which is around 200 for Elden Ring.

Supremely reddit Post. Reddit just fucking decided to make it 125 on the assumption of tradition, not understanding how the soft caps were changed.
People told reddit this many times, but the retards kept believing it killed build diversity.

It was always meant to be 200.

>"spacing" is a fucking meme especially given how dogshit the netcode is.
The problem is not the netcode, the problem is a gameplay. "Spacing" in a game where everyone is firing room sized magical AoE's and mexicans are sprint jumping at you with powerstanced collossals. The netcode is fine, the gameplay is dog shit, and I'm not even the elden dog shit ring guy

coop seems decently active at low level and 70+, it might a problem with too many invaders. The invasion cooldown is too long

>tried invading at 75, 100 and 135 after the patch that added two new starting classes, meaning everyone is playing at Limgrave levels
lol
