[@agm5424]

​@@Goz_wizard Agreed, from the very beginning Founding Rain has been there mainly to add lore and as a cool special effect but had a poor practical utility. They should've made it so when used it would have a larger area of effect and it would have a high level of flinching in order to quickly stunt the enemy as opposed to making high levels of damage.

[@coconutwiki]

Founding Rain of Stars into zamor ice storm are a pretty effective combo agaisnt agressives gankers

[@TheDoomsdayzoner]

This was quite beautiful. And insightful. I never knew Carian Piercer could go through walls AND hit things. Same with explosion of Canon of Haima, since I was under the impression that walls thicker than planks just stop it. So many new things were learned today. Marvelous things.

[@Mango-cp1im]

the giant fireball and blackflame tornado also go through walls

[@FolgenNamp]

As respectable as they come. This is what I like to see

[@salvatoreiurato2269]

As a fellow sorcery enjoyer, I applaud you and your creative spell choice There's one thing I'd like to share, because I don't think I've seen you use it: as far as my knowledge goes, carian sceptre's WA can true combo into carian slicer at max casting speed (which you have, radagon's talisman plus azur's staff). You might wanna give it a try!

[@stevie31]

Thank you! Yea someone mentioned that to me before i just keep forgetting to do it mid fight haha

[@Battleguild]

As a Caster main, I'm still saddened that Elden Ring basically ignored all the good stuff DS2 brought forward for Casters. Attunement for Cast Speed Catalyst Infusions (No DMG Ring Stacking) Catalyst Shields/Weapons Herbs, Spices, and Waters 14 Attunement Slots Unique Armor Effects On top of that, it also irks me that Pure Casters basically only have 1 Ash of War, two-handed L1 is a dead button, and they still haven't gotten rid of the useless R2 Bonk after 13 years now...

[@stevie31]

I liked ds2s spells but i never liked having to get multuple copies of the same spell just to be able to cast it more. I would rather have the fp bar that can be refilled with a flask

[@Battleguild]

@@stevie31 I prefer duplicate attuned spells because you overall had more spell casts vs FP, especially when it came to "bulk" spells like Soul Arrow or Dark Orb. An FP bar of 300 (50 Mind) could cast Glintstone Pebble (7 FP) 42 times but nothing else except for a spell that costs less than 7 FP. (It's just shy of 43 casts) An Attunement of 50 in DS2 could allow you to cast Soul Arrow 36 times, while less than Glintstone Pebble by 6 casts, but you still have 7 other spell slots of spells fully capable of casting their full arsenal of casts. That's not even including attuning the 3 other copies you could get for a total of 144 casts and still have 3 other spells ready to be used. While Elden Ring offers reduced FP costs and damage stacking, DS2 offered equipment to boost attuned spell casts and equipping duplicate spells to push that number even higher. I just don't like FP because if you have 1 spell that is clearly better than others, you're basically only ever going to see that one spell spammed by others online at the expense of other far more interesting and variable spells.

[@stevie31]

@@Battleguild That is a good point. I do remember though in sotfs i had a pure caster and i ran into a problem where i couldn’t get any more herbs so i kept running out of spells during fights. I dont remember if npcs sold them or not

[@Battleguild]

@@stevie31 Most spell merchants sold a limited supply of herbs or waters. I believe Ornifex*, birb lady, used to sell unlimited Amber Herbs but that got patched out. Jailers and the female Pyromancers dropped a plentiful amount of Twilight/Withered Herbs when farmed. Iron King Crown passively restores Spell Casts, a feature noticably missing from Elden Ring. (ER had death trigger FP recovery but no true version of passive recovery.)
