Not bad.

Adula actually got buffed, not nerfed. They slightly nerfed the damage (from ~1500 to ~1300) but they also fixed the fact that the moonblade itself wasn't connecting alongside the greatsword part after the initial cast. So now your first cast hits for slightly less but every single subsequent cast also hits for just as much as the first one did. They also buffed its cast speed at lower dexterity, meaning that Radagon's Icon isn't as necessary anymore.

Lol I did my first run with the greatsword and now I’m so burnt out I don’t even care they buffed them

>Fight dragon
>FPS drops to 30s as usual
Yep, I'm thinking nothings changed

They even substantially buffed the Moonlight Greatsword and it's finally viable to use.

It's a huge fucking buff too. They swing like 50% faster.

i already shit on the game with my colossals, they were already good. now they are just easier to use for retard subhumans like you who got filtered, sad

I already beat the game 3 times with great club/troll hammer, my dudes.

Yeah, I just tested it too. The cast time is real fast now.

So e playing on 1996 hardware. I've literally never dropped below 60 on ps5

you didnt beat the game

its honestly too ez at times

>increased damage and reduced recovery time on all colossal weapon attacks besides jumps
YES YES YES ABOUT TIME

>gave of haima, rock blaster, and shatter earth now cast and recovery faster
alright that does it, I'm finally doing a battlemage build. Pure INT but no pew-pews. physical sorceries ONLY

>Decreased the scaling of status effect build-up from spells and incantations of Albinauric Staff and Dragon Communion Seal.
>Shortened the length of the madness afflicted animation.
Why, why, why, why, why. How were frenzied burst casters the problem in PvP? An incantation you can just dodge and that doesn't even reliably combo you if you're not a vigorlet. Is it because the build didn't include a katana?

How would you know you're not using an fps counter

>user insists his experience is ruined by frame drops
>H-h-how can you tell if you're sub 60 without a frame counter? Human eyes can't even tell
Grow up

>Is it because the build didn't include a katana?
Obsessed

fuck off, the cyclops eye beams were pure fucking cancer.

>black flame spells buffed
we're going home faithbros...

Frenzied burst was busted a fuck you shitter.

Just roll. Or have vigor. Or have focus.

Rock Blaster is absolutely ludicrous now. It was a slept on spell before but now that they've added poise to it it's fucking insane. At 80 INT you're literally doing like 1,000 damage per second and then the AOE at the end does like 1500 more. It's madness.

>using sleep cheese
>2 EZ GUISE

It is ruined when it drops to 30 fps.
You can't confirm perfect 60fps without a counter.

the humane eye cant see past 24 fps

>get rollcaught once by a spell with a long wind-up and lightning quick projectile
>instant madness proc
>stuck in an animation that leaves you a sitting duck for half an eternity
>pretty much guaranteed KO

yeah, fuck you

yes i also use it when they are solo. ez.

If you can't tell the difference between 24 fps and 60 fps game you might be legitimately disabled

not my fault you can't dodge. there's worse tracking sorceries out there that got BUFFED.
from hates faith, period.

I'm really excited about that. The digger spells were the first melee sorceries I found on my first playthrough, but I was so disappointed because they were so slow and had no poise so it was basically impossible to ever actually pop it off.

>1 shit incant only used by shitters gets nerfed
>Every other incant gets buffed
>Claims from hates faith

just dodge, or get more vigor or get more fire resistance or get more focus, holy shit. There are way worse offenders in the game and I don't see them butchered here.

>int builds using their heads to avoid stupid mechanics
>str grugs waving their sticks around screaming in rage
seems normal

You didnt lose your virginity

Go look at the changelog. Pretty much everything else got buffed. The only major faith nerf was the frenzy laser that was absolutely fucking broken, one laggy projectile connects and the match is over. And there's not even an excuse for PvE vs PvP balance since madness is pretty much exclusively a a PvP thing. fuck you

How good are incantations now? Can any faithfag verify?

>Inescapable Frenzy's cast speed is like 50% faster now
>it's so fast that you can literally slip it in between the swings of anything bigger than a straight sword

it's just that easy folks

Sip your no mana flask, spritz iron perfume, go BRRRRRRRRRRR

youtu.be/NhNS1xfHI_E

You niggers are fucking delusional if you thought that was functioning as intended.

fuuuuuck yes, about to start a zweihander run too

Your bullshit PVP cheese strat got fixed, deal with it.

incantations were always good. I just finished an incant build and it was a ton of fun with all the various options you have. And a bunch of stuff got speed/cost/damage buffs.

I couldn't hear you over swoosh swoosh, whooo, ka-chaooooo weapon art spamming.

I feel generous with (you)s today, have another

You're mindbroken.

Fromsoft just mindbroke me. I've been afflicted with madness.

>Patch 1.05
>We nerfed rock blaster into the ground because we're retards who couldn't think this out
>also we buffed some other sorcery to stupid degrees because we're idiots.
I'm hoping it will be Loretta's Mastery.

Reading your post gave me cancer and made me grow older by 40 years.

Looks like they're decreasing cost and increasing speed across the board for a bunch of lightning spells. Hopefully this makes them not completely fucking useless now (besides basic lightning spear)

>instead of nerfing shit, they buffed a lot of shit to bring it up to snuff
you have to admit, this *is* the way to go about things. glad they're actually listening to players

>Decreased the scaling of status effect build-up from spells and incantations of Albinauric Staff and Dragon Communion Seal.
I have no fucking idea what this means desu

how big is the colossal buff? noticeable? are they worth using outside of r1 now? also holy shit so many spell buffs i guess starting a caster was a good move

>can’t marry and put a baby in sensei sellen
I don’t think magic bros won just yet OP…
>but but Ranni?!?
Bitch did I ask?

The R2s are like as fast as the R1s used to be.

It means that frenzy doesn't instantly get applied when using the dragon communion seal anymore since the scaling was fucking ridiculous.

Is there something I'm missing when it comes to Loretta's Mastery? You get it so much later in the game than Loretta's Greatbow, and it fires multiple arrows rather than one. You'd think it'd just be a straight upgrade. Yet when I tried using Loretta's Mastery the damage I got from it was always hot fucking garbage. How are you "supposed" to use it and is there ever a scenario where it's better than Greatbow?

They were never useless in the first place, now spell chaining will only be more obnoxious in PvP since you're a machinegun as of 1.04 and people will start complaining about Ancient Dragon Lightning Storm being "cheese".
The only thing that warranted buffs was Bloodflame Talons.

Dragon Communion Seal increased status effect build-up from its incantations, Take an incantation that inflicts a status effect, like Rotten Breath for instance. Casting it with the Dragon Communion Seal would increase the scarlet rot build up from that incantation. It also has S rank arcane scaling when upgraded. Cast a frenzy incantation with it, and the madness build up will be buffed by the seal.

My PC is stronger than your PS5, moron. Yet I still get slowdowns when dragons shoot fire sometimes

THIS IS THE KICK THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS

did they fix oneshot dogs?

working as intended :^)

>Adula's Moonblade nerfed hard
They actually killed my melee mage build

Players, especially duelists wanted everything nerfed lol. From just took a sledgehammer to their hopes and dreams and gave everyone roids + minor nerfs.
FP for low levels just got buffer hard and BHS complainers are still sending me death threats. It’s great and I can’t wait for the OP dlc weapons from is making

I didn't, are you retarded?

they buffed basically everything else though. I'm all for it despite maining a sorcery build. Adula's was just so good that it was easy to ignore basically every other melee spell out there.

It's not a melee build if your just spamming blade beams. It's just a ranged build with extra steps you faggot

so i wont lose 80% of my health trying to charge up a baseball swing anymore?

they blade beam barely does any damage retardbro, you have to hit both the actual blade and the beam

kick bros ww@

No it's shit and poorly thought out. It costs 50% more FP but does like 25% more damage. And because of the projectiles arc, it's more likely that one will clip the environment and not hit the target, so in anything but open terrain it will do less damage. Looks cool though.

>Turn around and cast spell
>Lock on to target behind you
>All projectiles now hit

>FP increases at lower levels
THANK FUCKING GOD. I hated how Mind had increasing-returns where at 20+ you got double the FP output. What this meant was that it really wasn't worth investing in Mind unless you're planning on going all the way and having a lot of FP. If you were just a simple melee build who'd use FP for weapon arts, it wasn't really worthwhile at all since you'd basically need to pump in 10+ levels to the stat just to start seeing any gains at all.

Most spells are useless and are there just for flavor.

Are kicks even viable. I thought it was a joke

are the warcry R2 faster now or ignored in this update?

I've beat my meat.

I had about 40 vigor and got one shot by the eye-beam - even if I had 60 I would've been afflicted by madness and died and the worst part is that they can snipe you when you're not looking with it

kicks had stupidly high stance break so you only needed like 4 or 6 on larger bosses to get a critical hit. Now they're even faster so it's free stance break with zero stat investment.

>incants buffed
>colossals buffed
STR/FTH BROS

IT'S TIME

Sounds good all-around. Now all they need to do is reduce PVP-specific damage and bleed buildup across the board so everything isn't a 1-2 shot

idk, I never even put it on my memorized spells. Lorettas Greatbow gets blocked on crags or walls enough as it is, I didnt need 3 projectiles that swoop out hitting the environment before the target. Standing in the magic circle buff and LGB was fine.

Magic is OP now.

Just look at this shit.

i'm a parrylet so i'm considering putting kick on my rapier just for the stance break into crit and with the buff it might be viable right?

>He fell for the PS5 SSD meme

>Infinite FP nerfed
>Carian Retaliation nerfed
I'm running out of ways to cheese Mogh.

So did Sellen really not notice that Renalla was just sitting in the same room as her when she took over?

>Adula's Moonblade - Decreased the power of single cast
Oh, I was gonna reinstall, but nvm.

I'm an INTfag but also a brainlet so I've been doing but glimstone pebble and arc my entire playthrough. Should I learn any other magic?

What a pointless webm. Wow, a super early game trash-mob-as-a-mini-boss is killed easily. You could do this with pretty much anything.

Yes.

>Howl of Shabriri of all things nerfed
Did anyone even fucking use that? I can't believe they even remembered it existed long enough to nerf it, what the fuck

bro you can kill that guy with 2 jumping R2s

>Magic is OP now.
>Now
At least Death spells are viable now and not unsalvageable shit, not like Stonenigger trolls are worth much in the first place.

I have never paid attention to Rock magic, should I go for it?

>cannon fodder boss
user, I...

Can you try it on maliketh or something. I killed this dude with 4 casts of rocks

Yeah dude. You're playing this like it's DaS1 and all you have are pew pew and big pew pew. There are so many sorcery options it's fucking insane. First time it's totally viable not to even bother with a side-arm because melee sorceries like carian slicer and piercer are just so good.

not spam, you do not commit for as many frames with your swings so now you can actually dodge

>dark bead.jpg

Howl is so fucking stupid. It builds madness, oh boy. But it also buffs your damage by 20%... at the cost of you taking 30% more damage.

What a fucking joke of a spell.

I mean rennala is a mindbroken NTR bait milf. She poses no threat really. Ranni was the boss fight in that room, the rennala you fought was just her floating and some of her daughters singing. Sellen could take all of them really

It was basically a mass instakill on invasions if you were using the Dragon Communion seal on an ARC build, you could kill the host and all of his blues in one cast if they tried to gank you and you pulled that off.

bro you can 2shot that guy with a club

OH GOD PLEASE DON'T BRING BACK DARK BEAD

I made a character with GUTS right off the bat and got bored after the second boss because all that was viable with colossal weapons was spamming jump attack. I think now that you can actually swing the fucking thing at the anime bosses I'll pick that character back up and play

Beautiful

haven't tested it but I don't see why not. it's probably best for weapons that have low stance break like 1h swords and daggers.

So DS2 is best souls right?
Right???

That's bitch boy Rancorcall. Try that with Ancient Death Rancor, Radagon's Icon, and Azur's Glintstone Staff. Turn every PvP encounter into a bullet hell game.
