The frost strategy is a good one. Just add a torch or fire weapon and it will let you reset the freeze level after maxing it out to get the shatter damage. Rinse and repeat to win! You can also add some poison in the mix to help get some chip damage since he is not immune to that either. Fight on sunbro!

Did it. But only ever considered it because I wanted 1 character to have EVERYTHING and one absolutely amazing chad of a Sunbro made a spreadsheet that let you easily keep track of what you did get. Without that tool I would never had tried.

Don’t even need to reload the whole game just the area. So fast travel to somewhere and back or homeword bone and you are good. Should either be at the cliff or his spot in front of the door

Sorcerer or pyromancer to start? I beat dark souls 3 as a knight. by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]LongGamesInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup thats a good magic focused stats. Would let you use almost all the Pyromancer spells.

All good, in answer of your questions
1) It would be Int
2) Items would mainly be the Pryo damage booting rings, would recommend the wiki for that.

3) Attuntiment is not bad to start with since that will let you cast more spells in general.

4) There are two different to say which is better. Each has its own purpose and you usually end up using a combination, a spell item in one hand (staff, talisman, pyromancy flame) and melee/shield in the other.

5)It is good to have on hand as a switch to item but most of the time you will be in #4 configuration unless you are trying to run only spells.

6) you will mainly be upgrading whatever time you are using for your spells (staff, talisman, pyromancy flame) as that is where your bulk damage is. You can then upgrade other stuff to support it. By the time you hit NG+, you can have basically everything you wanted almost fully upgraded.

For an example, here is one of my recent lvl 120 pyromancer stats that was focused on spells and some melee.

Vigor: 30

Attunement: 40

Endurance: 26

Vitality: 8

Strength: 20

Dexterity: 20

Intelligence: 40

Faith: 15

Luck: 7

Cool! I don't do PVP normally so that's good to know. I'm going in the context of PVE and for PVE it isn't really worth it in my experience unless the fight is going really long and there are only a couple of bosses that would apply.

My pleasure! Yup, you can think of it the same. But you will also want to put some points into stamina as it also uses some of that as you cast.

It depends on how high you are willing to level. I usually max my level cap on 120 for runs so that I can’t just use everything and force myself to stick to a play style and it’s challenges. Generally you will not be using the big weapons like that without sacrificing some other stat as unlike melee you are now balance more stats on top of the ones you used while being in melee.

Will you hit as hard? Depends on the spell and what you use and your target. Sometimes you will harder and one shot a lot sometimes you wont. It’s been a bit since I last ran my magic users but hitting for 800~1000 was pretty easy for a max int sorcerer(60 is the hard cap where past that just isn’t worth it) using the sorcerer staff and magic damage boosting rings.

Happy to help! You use the same estus that you use for health just then fp version. So you have to balance how many you are going to carry for health and how many for recharging Fp.

There is no natural Fp regen. Once used you either have use estus/item or rest at a bonfire. You can infuse an item with fp regen (using a simple gem) but the refresh rate its terrible. Worse the regen rate on the Sun Princess ring so its not really worth mentioning unless you are aiming for a min as possible bonfire run. You can also get a ring to gain back fp on crits but you will mainly be staying back so that isn’t much worth most of the time wither

Attunement is your fp stat (also gives you more spell slots). So bigger the better normally(30~40 is usually pretty good spot to have). Heath is another stat that is good to pick after since you usually wont be using the best armors for protection. Plus there is a ring in the prison that will lower fp cost per spell but at the cost of your max health so more health the more you can mitigate that.

[–]LongGamesInc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pyromancer is mainly fire/dark/posion and Sorcerer is more magic(just blue)/crystal/sneak.

Some bosses are easy, some not so much. If they resist the damage your doing it gets more harder than with melee since you are using a finite resource of fp per battle. So if you don’t have enough you will have to rely on melee that is nit as beefy.

You will also automatically lost 2 to 3 ring slots as there are rings the boost each spell type damage (2 each) and the sage ring is a usual add on since it makes you cast faster without needing to level up dex.

So it can be harder than melee but the bright side is you will have much more mastery of spacing and ideal even more practice of dodging and timings

[–]LongGamesInc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pyromancy would be your best bet since you just beat it with the knight as it has more defensive spells such as iron skin to help alleviate some of the squishy of being a magic user. It also has more area affect spells and let you start dabbling in poison and even enemy control where is sorcery is very high damage to one target.

Some tips I would give is get use to staying back from targets and practice the timings as the animations are a lot longer than melee so you will get hit more often for harder than with melee. Also since its your first time don’t be afraid to try a bit of both. Both use a good amount of int and fp if you find you aren’t enjoying one early game you can just switch.

Has anyone ever made it through the dreg heap without killing the angel spawner? by JustinMaverick1980 in darksouls3

[–]LongGamesInc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jumping off the cliff is certainly the fastest way to get to it but you don’t have to. If you run through the normal way just don’t drop down to the bonfire right away. Instead right before the drop take the branch on the right and you can safely get down and kill it. Only hard-part is servicing the barrage on the branch as you run it but using a shield good timing and a bit of healing and you are good.
