Sorceries or Miracles for PvE ?

one thing you can do to push slightly more damage is buff up your blue flame with crystal magic weapon, it actually increases the damage of spells you cast with it

i love dark souls 2 and i’m so glad you’re here still cranking out quality ds2 videos in 2023

It’s very funny that blue flame becomes the best catalyst in the game with an aromatic ooze, especially being able to cast soul spear at a low height makes it useful for point blank casts

Yo Yazz, make sure to NOT kill Maughlin when you do the pyro run, he sells the penal handcuffs (from the lost sinner set, after beating that boss and spending 1k on him) which improve pyro damage by 7.5%! If you really want the tseldora set, you can farm it from the spider-hollows before Freja or just rush lost sinner and kill Maughlin after getting the handcuffs.

Yearn is stupidly powerful, a lot of the situational abilities are surprisingly versatile - like most people avoid Poison Mist for being a weak version of Dark Fog but it's great at aggroing hidden mobs or getting rid of poison moths if you're focusing on a melee build. Shame literally nothing affects its damage.

Back in my dark souls 2 phase and glad I found your channel, nice to see people having fun with this game

Between your dulcet tones and interesting commentary ive been really enjoying these videos, you obviously put a lot of work into them, eventually itd be cool to see you do some of the more overlooked smithing imbuements, making the most of what youre using is something youre good at, thanks for the great content my guy

This channel is growing at a pretty crazy rate I’m so exited for the future keep it up👍👍👍

This video came exactly when I created my sorcery build. You're the best Yaz. I'm looking forward for the Elden Ring builds!

Sorcery run let’s gooo, this is gonna be good.

Can't wait for the hex build and maybe the pyromancy one. After that I'd like to see a fists only build ( Vanquisher's Seal ).

When I started my first character on DS2, I saw your video with faith build not so long ago. Finally completed the main story with thunder/hex spells, pretty strong. But damn, sorceries are on another level

These ds2 vids are pretty awesome. Really enjoying the series

11:58 As a tip on the well at the falconer camp. At the nearest ledge you can just run into the well without jumping or breaking the wooden stuff

Watching your videos makes me actually wanna play DS2 again. Now that's talent!

Eyyy been waiting for another vid from you man. Good shit. As a thank you, another tech. The hand creatures in Black Gulch (named Ridgebacks for some reason) are in puddles of *Oil.* if you shoot them with a fire arrow or roll through them with a torch, it lights it on fire and kills the Ridgebacks after a few seconds. Makes for easy large shard and chunk farming and the souls you get for every kill more than makes up for the cost of the one fire arrow per puddle where they're sitting.

beautiful! definitely gotta try hexes next that’s what i used for my first playthrough ever and it was so much fun

Literally what my friend told me before I played my first Ds2 run. Definitely helped I think since my repeat playthroughs have been harder lol

Bro your builds are probably the only thing keeping ds2 as my most played game on playstion

Only just randomly found your vids yesterday and have already fallen in love with your stuff, I adore DS2 for the sheer open ended build variety and the ease & options of choosing where to go & when to ascetic - great work dude, looking forward to watching the rest :) *edit* Also, if you wanna get more outta your brightbugs - you can give them unlimited duration by getting yourself wet when you pop them, then quitting out and coming back in to the game, some glitch with your character being wet makes the brightbug not expire until death / area load. I use the pharros mask to set it up in any location, but if you can roll in some water etc then you can also use that to apply the wet effect :)

Nicely done!!! A very good build. Thanks for this!!!

Love the style of your videos bro! Are you considering doing videos for weapons in other souls games as well? Keep it up

You are single handedly making me realize that ds2 is my favorite

I really love your video💪🏽

“Some twilight herbs… team Jacob of course” lmao top tier content creator 😂 always hype for a new yaz vid

YOOOOOOOO the boy has blessed us with an upload! Today is a good day of pushing the boulder.

3:37 bro came in and showed you his moves, got a little shy and dipped

Lets gooo, i also did a sorceries run but yours put it to shame😅 almost 9k yay

cant wait to watch this one, the miracle video was great

u have good videos homie, keep posting them, 2023 but I still love this game!!!

Good to see you back

Great efficient video man, thanks!

just found you yesterday but i can just tell you're a solid G bruh. Keep it up

I have never used only sorceries, I usually add pyros, hexes or miracles for avoiding dmg resistances, but sorceries certainly inflict dmg. Soul greatsword is my fav.

I've been waiting for this like a kid waits to open his presents on Christmas, looking forward to the hex and maybe the pyromancy build❤

Let's go, I been waiting for a new vid😁

Finally been waiting for this one

Thanks for the laugh Yaz. Those skeles lookin up was funny AF.

Fun fact about the dragonrider boss, you can cheese it with arrows by aiming with the bow

Dude thank you so much for the effort

Did you heard that if you get the 4 lords souls the gate to drangleic opens by itself out of respect for your character, but if you just farm one lord 4 times you need to push it ?

HIGHLY recommend a Blue Flame run one day. That and the Mace of the Insolent are some of the most fun builds. Either dual wielding them for the double buffed catalyst melee caster; or with the Sanctum shield for the added casting options.

Man, because of you, I'm going to play DS2 once again

Just finished to plat the game, truly a mysterious and hard experience but the game was very fun

You can just run off the little cliff in Brightstone Cove to fall into the well. You don't even need to break the roof thing

dam the goat back at it again

great stuff bro

great video as always btw have you played og ds2 not scholer there is a big difrince between theme and the og ds2 has more busted buildes to check out

You can also just use the hood of Licia, it has the same effect as the hexer hood

this gon be a banger

You don't have to buy Black Witch set to Mavlaan! You can have this set after light all torchs in the Gutter, and you can drop Black witch domino mask into double havelyn guy in Sol Belfry reload with Bonfire ascetic he spawn one time for Ng! ) And I love your Sorcery roads she's cool ❤

I love that you clown on that basilisk every video.

My favorite youtuber homie got da full pack!

Please try out the majestic greatsword it has the best moveset in the game when used in the left hand you can literally do front flips with it and become artorias also if you power stance it you get another extra flip move besides the other two you can use when not powerstancing the only drawback is the high requirements but trust me you will have a great time with this sword it’s badass, keep up the great content!

You can use a Loyd's talisman on mimics to make them open up and you can get the loot out

Can't wait for pyro & hexer builds

Bro you should possibly do a walkthrough for this game id watch the whole thing lol

The casual Disturbed reference was dope

Nice vid, u should try doing like a poison build or sum shit

Funny thing. When you had to melee fight dragonrider at the start, the staff would've hit harder with r2 than the dagger due to ds2 handling catalysts differently. Stuff like chimes and staves do deceptively high damage.

Do you know [or are willing to find out] which staff is the best for someone that wants least stamina per spell cast, for spamming of spells?

Funny and best commentary, could you show some rare items from invader phantoms sometime? would be fun to see and come play online sometime too.

since this one is a sorcery run i think you should do with hexes next

really underated channel

Let’s see a bow build! Would be sick as fuck

Bro got oh Christmas tree in the playlist 21:58

This is after the sorcery nerf, too. Sorcery used to be so much faster, and you could two-shot Ancient Dragon with Soul Geyser 🥵

Pyromancer build next ? Would be interesting (actually never played pyromancy on DS2 aside of the fire weapon buff)

DOUBLE UPLOAD!!!! YESS!

Next time I will follow your guide, my build is shit even with 72 INT

W content as usual, next vid should be hexex or pyromancy

i think they did something to the dragonrider because i tried to cheese him today and it didnt work surprisingly. maybe i just failed. great video.

Another OP build. Damn these magic builds, they're too broken. Shame that your base game damage totally got nuked in the DLC. The fight against Blueberry was funny asf. Overall, I still can't see myself playing as a long range caster no matter how fun looking these builds are. My hands are too itchy for some melee action. Thanks for showing another upload, my guy. You rock as usual.

As expected, sorcery is good... And violent !

lets goo new video

wow i haven’t been using soul geyser much. i used in on sinh and giant lord but it didn’t seem as much damage as u. but i haven’t been using brightbugs or don’t have blue dagger so my damage is less. but using sorcery against fume, alonne and ivory was amazing. i did bring in summons so that definitely would affect my damage

oh hell yeah another dark souls 2 video

ds1 does the beggining of the game so well, that people can´t still shake off that feeling, specially if they didn´t play demon's souls before. but ds2 for me does so many other things better, than I still believe ds2 is the best game yet. the combat is unmatched, very fun and diverse.

Hexer is a pretty gluttonous class but hexes are pretty damn good too

33:44 you can fight them right after getting the king's ring.

My brain is made out of oatmeal and on top of that I'm new to the game, but how can I upgrade the catalysts such as Staff of Wisdom beyond +5?

Honestly waiting for him to do a Mundane run.

has anyone mentioned to you that licia's/saints hood, which you can get after you kill her, does the same thing as the hexer's hood and you don't have a stat requirement for it?

My favourite class in any souls game. I even finished entire Elden ring as pure sorcerer.

i play on ps3 and they only let you get the op staff near the end of the game so sorceries dont have the same effect.

question? are you playing a speed up ver of ds2 or did you just speed up your whole vid?

Pew pew! Also sorcerer's twinblade?

Am trying to do the things hes trying to do but the only that has worked so far is killing the paledrake with summons twice rotten and other bosses are kinda hard again cuz i took a break for a pretty long time

FYI leveling dex for caster builds to 12 is pretty good. It increases cast speed and gives acess to some better weapons for cleanups or running out of casts

Next video need to be a hexer build

i just recently finished a sorcerer run in ng+, the dmg is absurd but there isnt a single attack in the game that doesnt one shot you, its pretty fun tho

Let's gooo, pyromancy next?

Unless Im doing something completely wrong, nothing beats the damage of Crystal Soul Spear/ Soul Spear with Staff of Wisdom +5 (50/50 build on int and faith) Great lightning arrow with a lightning dragon chime +5 sucks Great Resonant Soul with various top tier dark staffs / chimes is good but still behind the Soul Spear Great Chaos Fireball with a +10 pyromancer hand and +10 Dark Pyro hand (whilst hollow) do less damage on a fire weak boss than Crystal Soul Spear. The only time I didnt use Soul Spears was in the dlc because the damage was low (the other stuff mentioned was still lower) so I just went melee with Great Club and Blue Flame (it seems to stagger enemies). Great Club has pancake cheese if you can get the timing down though 🤷

I didn't understand what was missing from my day, then I got this video and I understood

I am curious about why you didn’t want Hag Melentia to go to mejula, what will change if she goes ??

Hexes next? It would be hella fun

Guys i am new to ds2 , so is this build worth investing into for sorcery?

Quick question, since Vendrick is hollow does soul appease work on him?

punching does so much more damage,but it’s close range
