Which sorcery school does the most stance and/or poise damage?

[Sabaithal]

Trying to find a good school to compliment my assassin build, aside from night sorceries. Something that can break stance and set up crits would fill up a niche I'm missing perfectly here.

My guess would be gravity spells would likely do the highest stance damage? Not looking for raw damage.

I wanna say the glintblade spells mess up guards the best.

Death magic, specially ancient death rancors. They do huge poise damage if fully charged, enough to stun any scumbag dragon if you manage to chain two or three cast to their face.
Hmm also the tibia summons, thats basically 3 skeletons meleeing your target, got a lot of buffs but still looks weak to me, have to test that more.

TLDR: Death magic. And yes the easy answer was gravity magic but you already knew that so here you have another good poise destroyer.

Yeah probably rock sling. The thing is.. AoW sorceries like glintstone pebble and glintblade phalanx are far better for that than normal spells.

mausoleum soldiers are better, or radahn soldiers, the problem with the skele boys is that they die super easy

He's talking about Tibia Summons, a death-sorcery spell that conjures 3 skeletons who swing a sword down on three sides of a target. You're thinking of Skeletal Militiamen, spirit ash summons that can respawn (if un-interrupted) infinitely.

Yeah im talking about those guys. Have to experiment more with them.

At my level the mimic is a no brainer as summon.

Anyways take the ruinous ghostflame as example (any ghostflame building frostbite) and then combine a frosty target with clouds of skulls. Poise pulverized.
