Indeed, magic comboing is the true mastery of magic. Managing memory slots, mp, making sure the spells tie well into other spells, choosing a weapon that scales with your stat and combos with spells. The lower stats, so you must be more careful. But the best part is the variety.

The game just handles large spell lists really poorly. You can only have one active at a time and you can only rotate it in one direction. It's just really clunky and requires more practice just to become somewhat comfortable with than most casual players are prepared to tolerate, particularly when a lot of the spells are functionally clones of each other with just different looking projectiles for the opponent to dodge roll.

​​​@@ghostderazgriz Honestly for me Stars of Ruins tracking wasn't really the issue, but more the poise stun locking they did so they could close the distance with Moonveil or RoB early on in the games release. Or the pure sorcery stun killer. Stars of Ruin to stun lock well the caster closes the distance with Glintblades.

In dark souls 2 i strictly played a pure sorcery build for almost 600 hours and i had to get creative and use two staves, one on each hand, one the fastest casting staff and the other the slowest. I had to cast from both to mess with people's timing when dodging, it actually worked pretty consistently, but without doing that i would've been doomed in 90% of the duels.

Fun fact: Anti-Mage Mage builds are hilarious. Most mages run Eternal Darkness or one of the Moons, especially when facing another caster...but there's a few spells that can be used to counteract this, namely Briars of Punishment, as well as the Night Sorceries to some extent. BoP is really good at throwing other mages for a loop, especially since it's not often used in typical gameplay (because its otherwise outclassed in some form), and because of it's timing compared to other spells.

Which I think was the biggest reason for catalysts being stuck with only 3 options for AoW. While a pure caster build is viable, it's also a bit impractical, as doing so leaves a lot of dead space in your arsenal options compared to other builds. Bows/Crossbows are also stuck in the same rut as Pure Casters: Lack of AoW variety, no infusions, heavy talisman reliance, and resource limited attacks. It just irritates me, mostly because martial builds get new updates with nearly every new title, while Casters/Ranged Builds have practically remained the same since Demon's Souls.

@@Battleguild I agree that incantations and bows/crossbows seem to only exist to compliment a melee playstyle, bows and crossbows are bad at it too because of their scaling But I think sorcery has come a very long way in terms of being your main source of damage since ds1 for example, we now have a very wide selection of spammable projectiles, slow ones, fast ones, ones made for crowd control or have an AOE, some are chargeable spell, some are long range spells, others have short range, there are even spells meant for stealth and now we even have a good selection of melee spells Add to that the fact we also now have 3 different defensive spells to deal with incoming projectiles and we he have what I think is a pretty robust magic system in its own right that is very much worth expanding on. Though gravity based spells could be better at actually pulling enemies and such. Incantations have come a very long way too but they serve a very different purpose, there's a reason we don't really have a spammable bread and butter type spell for them, they clearly are meant for melee builds like pyromancies and miracles before them.

@@clankymocha I absolutely agree that ER has the best spells out of the Soulsborne games. The problem I have with casters is the fact that the L1 (while two-handed), L2, and R2 buttons for pure casters are effectively dead buttons. (With a single AoW as an exception.) Being completely limited to R1 and UP-D to function, or L1 if you are using two catalysts. Casters and Crossbows are also blocked off from Power Stance, so we also completely miss out in combat tech there as well.

@@Battleguild I think you are supposed to have something in your other hand to counteract this, you could use a small backup melee weapon, it doesn't have to be your main source of damage at all(after all, all sorcerer classes have always started with a dagger in their inventory) or, what I prefer is having a shield, scholar's shield lets you turn any small or medium shield to a 100% physical negation one and also have great magic defense But what I really use them for is carian retaliation, parrying spells feels so great, though I wish they'd buff it to deal respectable damage again, the nerf was a bit too much.

As someone who mains a pure dex build in PvP, my favorite opponents are spam mages now that stars of ruin can be dodged. I feel the Naruto music playing in my brain as I dodge all the projectiles.

That bow was so close was more like a sniff.

Man, I wish I was smart enough to do magic right! This is some of the most intense shit I've seen!

cast a few magic glintblades and rush them down and ur pretty much guaranteed to get a bit of damage on them

yeah this kinda gameplay only works when the duelists have agreed to a certain conduct.. could have been over sooner if either of them decided to play more aggressively

People are complaining but I’ve been a powerstance strength build main for almost a decade and I think this is cool as fuck. This is what makes souls games so sick.

this is why i multiclass. both of these guys would expect their opponent to not pull out a cleanrot sword and charge them.

My gosh, if Enshrouded ever reaches this kind of magic craft...holy.

rannis dark moon - high damage high reach, homing in faster and faster, aoe explosion, frostbite plus debuff on resistances AND it absorbs enemy spells along the way.

Respectfull, I like it!

>meanwhile, any average melee build rushes them down and obliterates them in seconds before they even get a chance to cast

@@clankymocha true but most people will poise through slicer, which is the only thing fast enough to compete with any melee weapon.

I love how he's spamming all kinds of different spells, and the other guy is just: *BALLS YES*

I love seeing mage vs mage fights but mage vs melee is usually extremely one-sided. Either the melee rushes the mage and destroys them or the caster just burns the melee down.

This ia actually amazing to watch omg

bros were playing chess with those appertures 😭

Now i remember why I've never made a magic build

How did you get your hands on Touhou 19 early? It looks interesting, but I'm not sure if I like the direction the series is going. Seriously, the artstyle change and the switch to 3D are quite puzzling. I also don't recognize any of the characters!
