oolacile ivory catalyst question

[Smol]

Does it work well with offensive sorceries like great soul arrow? Based on it's description I'd guess no but It might since it allows me to cast those spells.

My int is at 40 would sorc catalyst be better?

Does the ivory catalyst boost the duration of oolacile sorceries like hidden weapopn or cast light?

If someone melee's you with a catalyst the correct response is to hit them with Toxic Mist then see who very slowly dies first.

Well first off, not everything in this game is centered around PvP... it's really just for the occasional bash if things come too close.
Lots of weapons don't have a real purpose, like why is there 2 ♥♥♥♥ straight swords, the hilt and the broken sword. I get it, it can be traded for artorias' sword, but why does a SECOND one exist?
Why should you ever use Vamos hammer?
Why should you ever use thing ghost dagger thingy?

Tin Banishment has better physical scaling though, but it requires high dex to pay off.

It shouldn't, Demon's has D/D vs the TB's E/D do it should perform better, no?

No. At 40 dex and 32 int it does more damage with dark spells than Logan's or Sorceror's. Reason is it has A scaling on the Int and Demon's has B scaling on Int. Tin Banishment has 20 more mag adjust as well. Weighs 1 unit less as too.

Honestly though you're best off using Logan's or Crystal because of the high mag adjust, S scaling on Int, and the fact that you're going to be slotting normal spells along with the Dark ones.

What about the izalith catalyst? I just found it and don't recall anyone mentioning it

Sorceror's, Beatrice's, and Izalith all have the same stats and are interchangable. Only thing that's different is Izalith has more durability so it's technically the best of the three.

oh then why was I recommended Beatrice's if it's the same as sorc?

Reskinned sorc/beatrice catalyst. iirc it has very good durability but it's just one of those rather pointless casting tools.

Common misconception that Beatrice's catalyst is on par with Logan's because lorewise she's as powerful if not more powerful than Logan.

Phase 1 is when none of the roots are dead. Phase 2 is one is and phase 3 is the second being dead.
