Lightning stake is the best thing ever

[Realisticfiction]

Ah the satisfaction when you're up against a scrub that thinks he can tank this bad boy when Im over here with 50 faith and all faith boosting rings. When this thing hits, it's basically a guaranteed win.

Faith builds are the best.

Its slow and hard to pull off, I find it more useful in PvE. I guess if you corner someone its great though, but I prefer regular lightning spear for melee point blank since it costs less and casts faster. Basically, at that level of faith and rings 2 point blank lightning spears = 1 lightning stake. It all just comes down to timing, really.

Yeah usually true it's just that some people i fight just straight up don't know about poise casting or actually think they can take the full blast while they go for the "punish". then lightning stake procceeds to hit them for 880 damage haha

This is why I love the fact i made a SL 33 character to PVP with a +3 weapon.
At such a low soul level, there are so few thing...sooooo few things that can one-shot you if set up just right.
I think I got 1-shotted once by a hornet ring user. Everything else might do maybe 1/2 health? Even parries do basically nothing to me. Maybe 1/4 or 1/5 HP.
Makes PVP more interesting until it comes to the higher levels and just... 1-shotting everything.

Yeah damage output can get ridiculous at those higher pvp levels

Faith has two decent offensive spells. Not worth it.

It is for me when I have a spell that is easier to land and hits slightly harder than my sorc's crystal soul spear. :)

It kinda ruins the fun.
"Whoops I got parried. Whoops I'm instantly dead!"
Or
"Is that a miracle? Whoops I'm instantly dead!"

At SL 30 range.. it's like "Ah! Backstabbed! I'm okay though. Ah crap, got caught in a halberd's spinning combo! That's okay though, only took 1/3 my HP! I can recover!"
