A poison build would be sick! 🤢 A pyro build would be fire! 🔥 A sorc build would be smart! 👨🎓 A shield build would be safe! 🏰 A hex build would be haunting! 💀
For some reason this made me imagine if Dark Souls had Bard Buikls with musical spells cast by instruments, scaling with 2 stats like Hexes, one being new like WITS or something. Could effect item discovery or something so it has other uses idk yet still letting my brain ponder this pointless hypothetical- and the other stat could be DEX for string instruments because finger deterity. or that hypothetical new WITS- plus STR for percussive maybe. Stamina for wind instruments- idk lmao 🤣 feel free to ignore this. Just letting my thoughts be words.
U can get extra copies of lightning spear from Licia of Lindelt, if you keep her alive to the point that you open the shrine of winter door with 4 out of the 4 great souls embraced ( the door to drangleic castle) , or with 1 million soul memory on ur first playthrough, the sorcerer merchant will also sell unlimited copies of his spells.
Really wish i didn't kill her lol. I have to wait for her gravestone to show up now but also don't think I'll be able to get the unlimited lightning spears.
@@Sundude05nobody is talking about ds1 and both PTD and DS:R are nothing more than ports with almost no changes whatsoever. Sotfs was an actual remaster that changed and fixed a lot, the point still stands that a remake is possible.
I recently been playing ds2 because of you and your video guides! You are the most commited and entertaining ds2 youtuber/player I know! Thank you for motivating me to replay this game again!❤️
The Happy Souls "LIGHTNING!" build (+tears of denial) was the only method that helped me to complete the deathless run on ng+15 and finally have all the items on my first character.
Just found your channel recently - very cool to see a DS2 focused content creator! This is the souls game I've spent the least time with, so it's very interesting to see someone so well-versed in the game make it dance like you do. Keep up the great vids!
Here's how to optomize your pyro dmg. Lost sinner's cuffs, blue dagger in off hand, fire clutch ring, Black Witch Domino Mask,dark pyro glove (go hollow), red tear stone ring, king's ring
The disc chime itself is insane as a main-hand weapon...the lightning damage it does while infused out-damages so many actual faith weapons really fast. Its only really held back by the bad shield moveset lol great video! \[T]/
Engraved Gauntlets work with spells, miracles and hexes. It would have been fun to use with Heavenly Thunder since it has so many hits in such a short time. Also, Splitting Lighting Spear is very good if there is a clump of enemies in the distance. It does not hit the same enemy twice but it hits all the enemies once in that clump. So it does what it says, it is like you are throwing 5 Lightning Spears and once. I agree that damage could be a bit higher tho.
Inspired me to do a miracle build. Just found your channel as I'm getting back into DS2 after a long break so this is great. Definitely the fastest I've ever see the throne watcher and defender beaten.
Dude, I just wanted to say that you’re by far the best souls UA-camr out there! Your commentary and gameplay is always on point! Keep up the great work!
I played DS2 for a bit before it became too annoying and I quit. Then, I marathoned a bunch of your videos and took the time to learn more about the game and even go back to it! I've gotten so much further, and this video alone is convincing me that my next run will definitely be a miracle run. Thank you so much for giving DS2 the love it deserves, it really is the most underrated game in the series.
it's decent at best but it's definitely the worst game that fromsoft have created. compared to any of the games fromsoft made this game falls really behind.
I'm playing through right now with Fire and Lightning, this video is like a guide and will help me a lot to find items to make myself more OP, thanks and keep up the great work!!
@@zzodysseuszz I wouldn't say most people are bad, moreso they're used to the baseline I-frames from the other games. I do agree that the game is pretty easy once you get used to 85 Agility
very underrated channel)It's way better to watch your videos than other channels with millions of subscribers. Keep going you deserve more subscribers!
Your the reason I started playing dark souls 2 despite it being the “black sheep” of the souls games and now it’s one of my favorites, also try out the lost sinner sword
Back on that DS2 grind and just found your channel. Amazing content and someone who shares my love for Faith builds. Crazy how much work you need to do now though with SotFS locking a lot of stuff behind NG+ or Covenants but still this is such a fun game.
I’ve really been enjoying your content and whenever I see you post a new video it makes my day 10x better keep up the good work! Also you should try out sacred chime hammer or rulers great sword they are really fun to use in my opinion.
Your talking speed saves my lifetime. :D Thanks, cool video. Playing miracles atm with a friend (his first DS2 experience), nice to know I'm basically doing it right.
It’s very fun, though if you’re not doing VS ONLY then you can use a caestus in the main hand for a vastly faster powerstanced attack - or the Bone Fist
I am an anti-magic, anti-longrange Souls player. I have a great bias against it, but man, this build looks so much fun to do! This is also one hell of a funny upload, my guy. Dove into the lava, Mirror Knight parrying spells, Fume Knight got cooked mid air, Forlorn got lost in Canada. Keep the grind and see you on the next upload!
Eeeyyyy, mah boi doing caster builds? I was just about to comment on your previous video that you should do some caster builds as well, but here we go! I'm looking forward to your other caster builds/videos as well! Keep it up, man, I love your content!
Just the viable build variety alone makes DS2 my favourite in the series, I love how you can just use pretty much everything the game hs and have success if done correctly. I wish Miracles and pther forms of magic were at least a bit better in ds3. But awesome vid man, hyped for the hex and sorcery ones, maybe even a pyro?
this is an amazing video and it does always surprise me how good miracles can still be despite how butchered they got in casts and damage NOW SUREm Najka taking only 150+ damage from a GLS, with a +4 dragon chime, at 50 faith... yeah that still hurt to see but i mean if could add things in here as weapon options for a pure faith build, any basic weapon is amazing when given a boltstone. my personal favorite was the mace, but the heide sword wasn't far behind because of the stats needed to just hold it. longsword, dagger, shortsword, axes... if it took less than 15 points i built it and my cleric used it, it was good
Try out majestic greatsword it has the best moveset in the game in my opinion and is artorias sword which already makes it the best weapon in the game it’s my favorite weapon and probably the most fun to use try it out. And make sure to use it in left hand for the special moveset and extra damage,also I think you have to press the parry button to use the the unique attacks but am not sure, keep up the great work!
This is my first time commenting since I usually watch on my console but I’ve been watching since I got recommended the ultra greatsword 5 months ago and just wanted to say your videos are amazing keep up the great work
One other extremely minor buff you could’ve added in here just for raw damage is the Bell Helm. It boosts the power of all chime-casted magic by a slight amount, but with the numbers you were tossing out it definitely would’ve been noticeable. I guess if you ever revisit miracles you have another toy to mess around with.
Inspired me to make a mixed melee/Faith build; looks not only good but fun to use. Surprised how Heavenly Thunder can be so efficient; never paid much attention to it⚡
bro if you gonna try a poison build you should really try the black scorpion stinger with power stance. i was trying to pure melee poison build and it really worked well, it has a good amount of physical and poison damage. it is a really underrated weapon in my opinion.(i wear the sanctum soldier gaunlets and crest of the rat ring too for extra poison damage)
if you need to farm sunlight medals, theres a miracle you can find in the crypt thats a giant AOE that does INSANE damage to hollow enemies, you can kill almost all the falconers near the bonfire in a single cast. i forget what its called
I started a new game, and use the bonefire ascetic in the point to kill the giants lord, and after using the endless trick of taking the ascetic bonefire in the begining of the memory of the giant, in the end i killed 99 times, to make my character level 320, is insane.
Back on release (PC) I was a very "Solaire" casual miracle/Paladin build. I helped; I got help. It was amazing. "Rolanda Yew" and "Golden Girl" By release I mean ORIGINAL release. Not remake. Edit: If memory serves, the DLC came out while I was in NG+ And they nerfed the extras you get. I was pissed!
That mace is OP. I mained it my vanilla playthrough and had to refrain from using it this run. Then I see SO many DkS2 lets-players defaulting to it as well. What's a better weapon?
you can farm herbs to have more spell uses after you use it all , just need to kill the 2 red piromancy witchs before the second bonfire in estern peak, the mines is called
If you thought Miracles are strong now should have seen them before Lightning Spear, Great Lightning Spear and Sunlight Spear got nerfed in patch 1.08 The patch was supposed to increase the amount of damage for these three miracles at the cost of fewer spell uses, but it ended up decreasing the damage by mistake and they never fixed it.
They perfected heavenly thunder in the elden ring (ancient dragon lightning strike) the lightning strike is more consistent and can easily one shot large bosses with the right setup.
Favourite miracle spell in DS2 ?
Sunlight spear 🙏
Heavenly thunder
I second Sunlight Spear. Most satisfying spell to oneshot some poor guy with.
Splintering lightning spear
@@avetruetocaesar541 landing this spell on giant enemies is my ASMR
Its a miracle
Lol
It gives me faith to see this
This is gold, you are gold, I love you
Ba dum tss
Holy crap it is
A poison build would be sick! 🤢
A pyro build would be fire! 🔥
A sorc build would be smart! 👨🎓
A shield build would be safe! 🏰

Now this was nice.

it deserves a remake

They are vulnerable to lightning. Lightning damage has been nerfed to dirt, but he knows what he's doing

Almost feels like a precursor to ancient lightning strikes from Elden ring tbh which could be where they got inspiration for it
@@FrumpDump hmmm that's actually a good way of looking at it.

They were definitely OP in Vanilla lol. They've since been hard nerfed, but still do great damage. Super sad for both miracles and sorcery builds.
theyre still op.
the amount of times those varangians ignored me and went only for that chest at 2:05 is more than I can count. Those guys know whats up

you inspiring me dude to not only play ds2 but to also start making vids similar to these, you super underrated
I appreciate it man, means a lot! Goodluck making some vids, go kill it homie!
You can fight Darklurker even if you kill Granhal for the dragon charm.
If you haven't already, i would love to see a vanquisher's seal fist only run

Does infusing the bells with their respective element make the spells/miracles stronger???
Yea it does
yup, DS2 really cooked with the way infusions worked
LimitBreaker has to see this
This build looked like a ton of fun! Can't wait to see what you do next!
I thought it was only Hex, Dex, and Str, the builds that do good dps, but after watching this, I'll definitely try a Faith build.

The way you defeated the first boss is too funny 😂

This was exactly my first successful run in this game, but i also used lightning rapier to fight mobs, it was quite fun
Back on release (PC) I was a very "Solaire" casual miracle/Paladin build. I helped; I got help. It was amazing.
"Rolanda Yew" and "Golden Girl"
By release I mean ORIGINAL release. Not remake.

And they nerfed the extras you get. I was pissed!
I have never managed a miracle build in DS2 so you're doing a lot better than me
I believe in miracles 😂 love your content bro keep up the great work
Can't wait to see those Elden Ring challenge runs in the future 😂
That mace is OP. I mained it my vanilla playthrough and had to refrain from using it this run. Then I see SO many DkS2 lets-players defaulting to it as well. What's a better weapon?
Idk if you ever thought of it, but a build using two bone fists, like a martial artist
W VIDEO BRO‼️‼️
Keep up the grind
That pfp is sick af bro
Based Best Souls 2 channel. Keep it up man!
