I hope they never nerf it, lol, being a sorcery user in this DLC is suffering.

​@@wzx6x6z6wand a good percentage of Elden ring fans hate us for some reason

​@@wzx6x6z6wjust punch the enemies

​@@laidbacksage2574 tbf they got some good reasons, sorcery build genuinely made this game easier before DLC came out.

​@@wzx6x6z6w but you're just a bleed build if you use it. Because why use anything else if you have it equipped...

😂 yeah he should of ranked the spells without showing them…

​@2Nagakibas777 obviously it shows the spells and does spoil that, but it doesn't show any other dlc content so it only spoils what people know it will

Its as player to be not spoiled just ruins it

This guy is great at not spoiling anything he doesnt need to, i feel like most of the community doesnt care at all compared to other games. Ive seen so many bosses in thumbnails and titles.

Radahn is the final boss

And the fact that there soooo many incantations makes it worse...

i think i remember ymir mentioning something along the lines of "glinstone sorcery is the study of the stars and in the land of shadow the sky is always dark" if you want a lore reason why there's not a lot of magic.

Playing for 6 hours now and haven’t found a single incantation wtf

faith user weapon: Weapon wielded by God to slay God Int user weapon: Space rock

You do remember how broken magic was in the basegame already? There are few incantations that can hold a candle to it.

It's a running joke with my friends that if they find something for my faith build that the higher the requirements the worse it'll be

Now that I'm think about it....that joke kind of applies to the entire game lmao

Flame of Frenzy is a bit busted considering how early you can get it and how low the requirements are, somehow a sneezy flame starter incatation has really good dps and the legendary holly comet hits like a wet noodle. 60% incants are really garbage with the simple context that they're stuck behind this supper hard DLC and some of the decent ones are just not worth using compared to base game alternatves (Ghostflame breath is redundant, so are the Bayle incants compared to Dragon Maw and Dragon Claw; the Multilayered Rings of Light are ok but the more spammable rings alternatives exist; why did they make Spira so bad my god what the hell just use Honed Volt and don't touch this garbage; Crucible: Bloom is hilarious when you put it along side Burn O Flame, Ancient Dragon Lighting and even Godwyn's deathblight lightning; Midra's Flame of Frenzy is just worse Unstopabble Frenzy; Roar of Regalia is just worse Greyoll's Roar; Rotten Butterflies is just worse Scarlet Aeonia and making it just take up one slot wont change that fat FROMSOFT- ).

Finally someone did the work for me!

@@Tychonious Yeah that's sort of the entire point of this video my dude.

@@Tychonious so you’re the type of person to buy a game without seeing gameplay I assume

​@@Tychonious Smh why is this phone reviewer turning on the phone and testing it's performance

wtf....

Does Maternal staff have any buff to bleed? Could't find anything on that, or what do you mean?

@@deamon6681 I am assuming he says that because it's the only stuff that scales so well with arcane after the Albinauric Staff nerf. It has a Sor scaling only 2nd to the Prince of Death's stuff but for this one, you use arcane and not faith which is much better for this build.

@@louiemimis598 Thanks for the first part, that makes sense, but you loose me again with the second part, what do you mean with "this build"? How is a singe spell a build? If you have a Int/Faith build you use PoD's staff, if you have a Int/Arc you use this staff, but the spell doesn't dictate wich build, does it? Both builds can use the spell just the same.

@@deamon6681 There are builds around a single AoW and you think it cannot be the case around a spell as broken as this? People stress-test these kinds of builds and I have already seen multiple people use buffs and 1shoting all the DLC bosses with this spell alone. I think that you can EASILY make a full build with arcane/int if you add a little faith with Dragon Breaths and Weapons like RoB or some Sleep weapons that have been recently added

found some Glintstones in my baconator last week, no complaints tho

I love my Night Comet Whopper with extra cheese.

Starlight fries go hard 🔥

Wow that's huge. Thanks for that 👍

Oh wow, gotta test for myself but that just bumped glintstone nails up dramatically if this also applies for invasions.

Problem is that the tracking sucks. They're so bad I don't get it...

Nails are also boosted by a staff and an armor set. Deals a ton of damage for just 10fp.

I think he also missed that gravity bomb can be made to explode inmediately if shot at the floor

Yea, it's just far too easy to interrupt. I wish it had a point of no return or something where after that is done, the attack cannot be halted, and the only defense is to back off.

That's the case with so many big gawdy spells in this game that is makes me wonder what the logic is behind it, so many would to from unusable to mid at best of they just couldn't be interrupted

I'm hoping they buff it to give it hyper armour like they did with some base game incantations

Its kind of a trap. If you can't interupt the caster before the moons come out, don't bother. Once the 2 moons come out, they'll smash the ground even if you hit the caster and they fell.

that dude is borderline compulsive

@@somebody4094 Yeah, I needed a big ass armor and big ass shield to tank his flurry of 5000 hits in a row, lol

@@GRAHFMETALI just tried parrying all the attacks, it works almost as well. If not a bit more risky.

Do you have any tips for me to beat the stupid hippo? Istg, it’s legit the worst boss I have ever fought, I can’t see any of his attacks, I just gave up after 3 hours of constant fighting like a maniac and used summon but still can’t manage it, man Fuck whoever designed this boss

@@drexalte69 For the Hippo I just kept my distance and used ranged attacks. I was running like a coward to the other side of the room most of that fight 😅 If you think that boss is bad, then you might want to avoid the optional boss, General Gaius, who's like the Hippo on super steroids. Gaius is actually my most hated boss. He sucked

yeah im sad he didnt notice this

Yes.

At least we got the gravity spell variety for great cosplay potential.

Exactly, the OG spells are by far better, not even close

True. The dlc sorceries and incants pale in comparison to most base game spells.

Oh my friend you are so wrong. There's a new talisman that INSTANT charges spells, but you take more damage. But still, instant charging spells is nuts

It shows him dodging damage with it too 😭 still kinda bad tho

he tested it in a stream exactly for the purpose you said it's meant to fulfill and it didn't do shit. 85 Percent of all attacks still went through the fingers and they are still too expensive

The main problem with the spell is that elden rings defininition of a projectile is inconsistent as fuck. I used this spell against the sniper crabs it went straight thru😭

​@Silvanohnerizz skill issue honestly

@@Silvanohnerizz maybe he shouldve used that footage that shows why the spell is actually bad instead of "mmm not enough damage cant use its terrible"

The sorcery does do more damage though so if he decides to do it it's actually gonna be easier

​@@free_instructions2259 Not if you include the DLC.

Correct saw it on other videos

But impenetrable thorns is a faith sorcery, like the other thorn sorceries. They require faith and their staff scales with faith. If you wanted to use it on an arcane build you would need to use the albinauric staff, and at that point you have to invest on faith for the sorcery and then arcane and Int for the staff, and being split between 3 damage stats isn't ideal unless you are at a very high level

@@Panuromeit only requires something like 10-11 int for either of the ARC scaling staves (new staff is actually better), so for the investment into 25 faith (+1 for Golden Vow) it’s actually not too different from other Arcane scaling builds. Doable at 150

@@PanuromeMaternal staff is the best staff for the spell 100% bleed procs more often

@@wispl2948 that makes sense, I didn't know there was a new arcane staff

@@PanuromeSpell damage doesn’t scale of their required stat, it scales off the catalyst you’re using

It's pretty niche, but it's really, really good when it works. For example after doing a riposte/backstab, you can directly input this spell and some enemies will get stunlocked and get all the 3 hits. I did that against (spoiler of a random, non-major dungeon boss) : the Death Knight, it worked wonders.

He said that

Because you don't have a brain or a personality to speak of

You can also just use shared order on a dagger for the divine buff

It added 28 but majority of them are bad.

​@@Just_B0redyeah I've found maybe 2 or 3 that aren't cheeks

@@sniff494 Maybe few more but I'd say roughly 20/28 suck : Blade of Ans - Terrible Heal from Afar - Niche Crucible Thorns - Bad Crucible Bloom - Bad Minor Erdtree - Downgraded version of Blessing from base game, also short range instead of body buff Land of Shadows - 2nd best incant Wrath from Afar - Same as Heal but worse Light of Miquella - 2nd Best Incant or tied with Land of Shadows Multi Ring of Ligh - Amazing Bear Roar - Niche Knight's Lightning Spear - Best incant in DLC Dragonbolt of Florissax - Missable due to terrible quest line that pairs 2 characters with no connecting points (ok team buff) Electrocharge - Lol (~50 dmg at 99 faith with 2 dragon seals and full death knight set) Bayle's Tyranny - Great for Dragon build Bayle's Flame - Same as Tyranny Ghostflame Breath - Cheaper Borealis Breath Rotten Butterflies - Bad Pest-Thread Spears - Upgrade to Pest Needles Midra's Flame - Worse Unendurable Frenzy Divine Beast Tornado - Bad Fire Serpent - Ok Dmg, only good in PvP Rain of Fire - Pathetic range and dmg Messmer's Orb - 3rd best incant in DLC Watchful spirit - Bad Golden arcs - There is a better option tied to a weapon (weapon is also great so this is useless) Giant Golden arc - ok aoe but there are better options (doesn't hit ground) Spira - Ok for meme build with flask that removes MP cost

It's still the same issue. Start up is really bad but the animation cancel into sorceries is awesome. Recommend on pure caster

Youre going to get hit in the startup frames or the enemy will simply move. Rolling and casting would be ALMOST the same thing

Bro, there are TONS of broken ass spells in the base game. But in this dlc, they definitely flopped with spells. There are also a lot of new incants that are equally shitty.

@@CrucibleKnight I'm mostly talking about boss spells, which are almost always lame and nearly useless, and some of which are so bad they feel like tricks the game is playing on you

Its very very situational and attacks go through it a lot

So it gives damage negation instead of repelling projectiles?

I don't think it does. I don't see any changes when looking at stats while casting it, and in PvP I got blown up trying to cast it. It's also hilariously bad because the hitstun is so low, even if you hit enemies, they can just mash out of hitstun and have prio. Insanely bad.
