Soul Spear now sucks even with high attunement and Clear Bluestone ring +2

[MicroPiggie]

Thanks From why are you nerfing magic users in PVE

[MicroPiggie]

it's so slow !

[Ashen]

Soul Spear doesn't sucks, you do. Stop cheesing and fight like a man.

[MINUANO GAMING]

I don't know, I think it's still ok for pve, but yeah, it sucks for pvp now.

Crystal Soul Spear is slightly faster and does more damage but takes two slots now.

[MicroPiggie]

no its not ok for PVE either I've been trying it sucks !

[MicroPiggie]

why do they keep nerfing magic users

[Vagrant]

I completely understand your fustration, OP. It's really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sad. First it was the Hexers, then the Miracles, now Sorceries... This is why we can't have nice things.

[MicroPiggie]

I think they changed it just to make the new DLC harder

thats lazy artificial difficulty did they do this in Demons Souls or Dark Souls NO

You have to combo it into melee. Try using a sorcerer's staff instead of SoW or SS. Its about speed now, not power; Magic scaling is bulls**t because the spells themselves are high damage.

in reply to that I can change my character and have done many times but I am being forced to play the game differently as From wants not give us choice and options

Well frankly sorcery/hex/miracles was Dark Souls II EZ Mode so I guess now its almost down to the same level as melee builds... So it this a nerf or build/class balancing...

[MicroPiggie]

yes OK I can play melee fine but all this nerfing and changing things before the DLC comes out is deliberate gameplay changing by FROM thats twice they've done it before major DLC comes out and I bet they do it again for the final DLC -

Good. Having a simple no skill button press laser beam attack that takes off half your health and can be spammed immediately after the last one was retarded. It was practically a projectile wotg.

Giving easy mode mace to a starting class, never needing a different weapon to win in PvE. Also, dual, powerstanced clubs and caesti, all you need is STR and END and you win.

I agree with you about hexes though... but I rationalize that because of the soul-loss for some of the more powerful chime-hexes.

This is the problem.

Why is magic cheese?, I could say that melee is cheesy with those monstruosities and huge clubs.

The same happens with online shooter, whiners always are forcing everybody to play as they want, "campers" is the magic word and insult, the result is a boring circus with bunnyhoppers and quickscoping. Studios listen to this absurd feedback and ruin games, that become a flat, unidirectional mess.

I play all kind of classes, magic, melee, strenght, dexterity...PvP as sorcerer is hard as hell, it's really easy to dodge spells, so I don't get all the whine.

Get better at using sorceries instead of spamming 1 spell. Use your most powerful sorceries when you are safe, not in your enemy's face hoping you poise break them and do loads of damage with an instant cast, homing, huge hitbox, and high poise damage spear to their face.
