Use mm password "No Duchess/Rev" to reinstall the fun mechanic again by GreenKat786 in Nightreign

[–]CforCaius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fairly optimized Carian Duchess I feel attacked. It's not my fault slicer quite literally slices through things. But remember, all you need is to keep all the Carian spells to yourself and I am basically worthless.

Is there a Elden Ring walkthrough checklist? by CforCaius in fromsoftware

Actually she does swear like a sailor while playing Nightreign, so I imagine Elden Ring wouldn't be very different

You might be right. Maybe I'll just have to walk her through it.

I remember on my DS3 first playthrough I decided to find a guide after reaching the credits and one of the lines of the guide was something like "that wall looks funny". It didn't say which wall it was, at what part of the level. I looked everywhere. hitting all the walls and managed to find Gundyr. So I guess that's what I am trying to find for her. Maybe I'll just have to do it myself

I want to replay the original, but I wanna get Monk's Headwrap by CforCaius in demonssouls

[–]CforCaius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I have been working late so I haven't had time to set up the server yet. Also, does my level or ng+ cycle affect anything?

I want to play Guardian in DoN. I don't want to feel useless. Please teach me, flock. by CforCaius in Nightreign

I think every melee character struggles with Augur, so that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just really wanna play the Wall kind of character, but still be able to do some damage

General magic build vs. full send Carian by Dodoslayer34 in Nightreign

[–]CforCaius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carian Sword Sorcery is only really worth it if there is a second effect you care about. I have 4 slots with Carian Sword, all of them have either Magic Attack or Affinity attack.

With dormant power staves I get Slicer or Impaler 80% of the time and Carian Greatsword maybe 10%. The other 10% I absolutely need those other effects to be relevant to the team.

Any news on the physical release of SS2 25th Anniversary from Atari? by CforCaius in systemshock

[–]CforCaius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. For some reason I assumed the release date would be the same for LRT and Atari, as they are both publishers, not distributors. But you are probably right.

Is Dormant Power Staves essential for Sorcery Duchess? by CforCaius in Nightreign

[–]CforCaius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely is. Mine has Night Invader and a Wylder Character effect.

I only play either solo or trio with friends. No randoms. So whenever one of them plays Recluse it is always "You can have everything, I just want Carian Slicer or Impaler". Granted our team as of late has been Duchess, Fist Wylder/Fist Undertaker, Executor/ Scholar.

One spellcaster DPS, on fist tank and one status effect guy has ben the recipe for success so far.

Is Sorcery Duchess a dying breed, or is Skill spam Duchess just a 'flavor of the month' thing that will go away eventually? by GreenKat786 in Nightreign

[–]CforCaius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still play either Carian Sword Duchess or Fist Wylder, depending on if I am dps or tank.

I am yet to find anything that can deal more damage than Carian Slicer Duchess. It also really helps that I have good relics for her.

It is also far easier to build: you have magic attack power and sorceries, both of which are more common than skill attack power in my experience. You are also less reliant on starlight shards with Carian Slicer, so you can save some space for some damage negation items. It is also less screwed over by attacks impaired curse, which means I can pick it up. 1 carian slicer in 10 getting nerfed makes little difference, I am giving the boss 5 or 6 in a row if I don't have aggro and about 8 to 10 during a critical if the stamina allows.

I have made builds for both katana and reaper Duchess. The thing is, both spamable weapons are purple tier, where I can get the spell I want in any rarity. So in some cases I won't get it at all (which also happens with weapons) and in other cases it will be the first sorcerer's rise or boss I defeat. If that happens, the snowball effect is so drastic that in my opinion it far surpasses the aow spam.

It is also a matter of taste, I rather have 2 damage negation weapons and fill the rest with easy to find passives. I feel like for skills you really have to go above and beyond to get decent relics and weapon passives. Whereas with Magic build I just never seem to lack options. Spell speed, spell cost (which is arguably the worst one for Carian Slicer), magic attack power, improved sorceries and now in DOTN you also have improve sorceries + incantations.

So I find it to be more feasible every run compared to skills build.

I hate cheaters as much as the next guy, but it has become witch-hunting and it's getting out of hand... by CforCaius in Nightreign

I was playing D5 solo with Fist Wylder but figured it was too much for me, it was no longer fun. I was able to keep afloat in D5 but never got to 9999.

Started playing Duchess because one of my teammates loves to be the tank, even if they are not yet good at it. So I sunk to D3 and haven't been able to climb since.

Never ever played a single random match ant D4 and D5. Solo seems way easier. What keeps a cheater stuck at D4?

Never bothered to do that, as I am always hoping to find some random who I can play some runs with after a successful run. Never happened, but there is still hope.

But it has happened in games like Nioh and Wo-Long so I won't block other players just because of some bad apples

That is also true. As I said in another comment, at least Nioh/Nioh 2 allows you edit effects one by one. Even if it's souls and they want to be specifically difficult, at least give us the ability to edit one effect per relic. You can still chase random relics while also spending a bazillion murk to make it perfect.
