You haven't beaten the game...

[Baage]

if you use summons, sorcery, bleed build or poise destroying build. you are practically cheating...

[Settings]

This is a lame trophy farm, shame on you

[Kyo]

give me the clowns instead.


the tools are there for you to use and utilize to your heart's content.

Using armor, leveling up, using talismans is also cheating, make sure you use a blindfold too or you are a cheater.

Or stakes of marika. If you used one you didn't win.

using fingerprint shield and poke to beat radahn is more bottom feeder tier cheese than just straight using a ashes or co op ong like even with a summon you still gotta learn SOME of the fight

Sorcery playthrough is actually prett damn hard, you get oneshotted almost by everything, you need to divide your flask for focus flasks hence you already have less effective hp, most spells suck to be honest and are bad cost efficiently made, tons of enemies just outright resist them and you can neither bring a big shield nor a huge armor.

All this "sorcery" is easy mode comments are from not only ignorance but maliciousnes.

The only cheating I do is on my wife

[Lucci]

its cheating using in game mechanics? yikes

[Clockwork]

Only my cat can decide what I'm allowed to do or not.

By the way, Miyazaki cheated. He used summons.

That's ok, I've made sure to seduce the wife of every man in my neighborhood who is an active member of the HOA

You also need to unequip all your armor, talismans, weapons, items, flasks, put on a blindfold IRL, unplug your controller, chop off your hand, move to Columbia, start a cocaine operation, become known as El Mano, get killed in a CIA raid, and posthumously leak documents proving that Miyazaki got the inspiration for those weird hand monsters from buying the remains of the hand you cut off from the dark web

Only then can you say you beat the game

[Krazy Wallet]

How do you mention all that but not call out dex builds? Is your bias level 99 or something?

This is an obvious trophy farm post but no, sorcery isn't hard... An int build has nothing to do with getting oneshotted... You should still have high vigor and armour isn't that important aside from poise.

Dividing flasks doesn't matter much because you fight from range and get hit less. There are also talismans that help with estus efficiency like the seed talismans.

Most spells do suck but you have access to some of the most useful ones early on and spells like Comet Azur has some of the highest damage output in the game again, from range. Some spells sucking doesn't really matter because you just don't use them, and that's something easy to do as a sorcerer as you don't upgrade spells but the catalyst. You can switch between spells with ease. Magic resistance doesn't really matter much when the damage is just so high by default. Being able to send bosses like Maliketh into his second phase in one comet azur despite having 40 magic resistance.

Faith is a leagues more difficult build because incantations are significantly slower and generally do less damage. They have to instead use support incantations to get the most out of their build.

Play how you like, and I've enjoyed some sorcerer playthroughs myself, but it's only harder than the specific 'meta', braindead melee builds.

why do you care about how other people enjoy their game?
