Is crown of dusk really worth it?

[Mike]

The fashion souls is terrible. Should I use it still?

[Groen90]

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yes.
btw this is assuming you're playing with some spellcaster build

[Mr. Death]

Have in mind that it makes u more vulnerable to any kind of spell

[Darthzz]

the fashion souls is great

[Call Sign: Raven]

It looks amazing, and works with Pyromancies as well as Sorceries!

and miracles too, but eww clerics

I guess I'm the only one to agree that I don't like the look as a whole, mostly just the band itself, but yes, it is a very good thing for a spellcaster to use in a lot of areas, all if you're not worried about being hit from behind by magic or other spellcasters in PvP. If they're still available, try hitting a giant sentinel from behind in Anor Londo without it equipped, take not of the damage, and then do it again with it equipped, then you can decide for yourself if it's worth it.

I didn't know that! Cool! lol clerics

[Byakuya]

Definitely worth it for me. I also use a mod the removes the flip-flop Yoda-ear lookin' bits so all the remains is the small wing tips at the end with the band (though of course they return as a phantom, but I digress). I am always appreciative of it's bonuses for my Sorceries, Pyromancy, and Miracles (heaven knows Miracles really need it for how they've got the short end of the stick with options for damage output).

I'm sorry to necro but I wanna clarify this just in case someone sees this thread, it makes you more vulnerable to any spells AND other sources (like split damage weapons) that deal *magic* damage (mostly sorceries), that's it. Pyromancies (fire), miracles (lightning), and dark pyro/miracle/sorceries (dark) will deal their regular damage to you.

huh huh.

Works as a 30% reduction to your Magic Damage defence...

The other option would be the Crown of the Dark Sun as this has no damage reduction on your character but still boosts spell damage by 10%...

Half the Dusks Crown buff but no extra damage taken by you.

There isn't a dark damage type in Dark Souls 1. Dark sorceries do physical damage.

All of what he said is wrong. Anything that requires a casting implement will deal increased damage. Period.
