so the fire/cast rate of the spell is faster than the game allows enemies to be hit? like the spell being a projectile that passes through enemies, so the game checks if any instance of the spell is in contact with the hitbox, sees that it is and that it already did damage then says no damage even if there's 2-3 different projectiles in the hitbox to prevent the spell from hitting the enemy multiple times per cast?

Whenever Lemon mentions a catalyst's "Magic Adjust", he makes it sound like it's a static trait of the weapon. It is for the Pyro Flame and a couple others that don't scale, but the rest of the catalysts' magic adjust changes as your stats change. It's not like a normal weapon's Attack Rating, where it shows up as X +Y, the Magic Adjust shows up as a single number that changes based on the stat it scales with. Basically, the inherent Magic Adjust and the Bonus Magic Adjust are shown together as one number, so different catalysts have different level ranges at which they're best. Here are the best catalysts by level (based purely on magic adjust, there are some other factors, like availability and dark damage boost). For Staves Up to Level 26: Oolacile Ivory Catalyst (it doesn't scale at all) Levels 27-40: Sorcerer's Catalyst Levels 41+: Tin Crystallization Catalyst (Manus and Logan's are debatably better for different reasons) For Talismans Up to Level 26: Thorolund Talisman (also doesn't scale) Levels 27-39: Canvas Talisman Levels 40+: Darkmoon Talisman
@BestScytherSprite
@BestScytherSprite 4 ай бұрын
To elaborate on the staves. Manus's Staff is worse for regular sorceries, but better for Dark. Logan's Staff has a worse Magic Adjust, but doesn't halve the usage of your sorceries like the Tin Crystallization staff or Manus's staff do.

Hey thanks for the shoutout! I typed this whole thing up before I even saw you did that! Math you say? Oh do I love me some Dark Souls Math! The Damage formula is a little interesting - the way it is calculated is based on the attack rating of your attack compared to the defense stat of the enemy in question. Here are the thresholds: Attack / Defense > 8, Damage = 0.9 x Attack Attack / Defense between 8 and 2.5, Damage = ((-0.8 / 121) x (Attack / Defense - 8)^2) + 0.9) x Attack Attack / Defense between 2.5 and 1, Damage = ((-0.4 / 3) x (Attack / Defense - 2.5)^2) + 0.7) x Attack Attack / Defense between 1 and 1/8, Damage = ((19.2 / 49) x (Attack / Defense - 1/8)^2) + 0.1) x Attack Attack / Defense < 1/8, Damage = 0.1 x Attack For the Taurus Demon fight, with a Spell Buff of 100 and Fire Surge actually does 0.6 * Spell Buff per tick (not 0.38), you attack would be 60. Next, Taurus Demon has a Fire Defense of 88, but is located in an area where enemies defense is multiplied by 1.27, giving him an actual fire defense of 111.76. These are area defense modifiers, and are used to progressively increase enemies attack and defenses as you move throughout the game (this means that a blue crystal golem in the Archives is much stronger than one in Darkroot, for example). Taking 60 attack and 111.76 defense, we get 0.536, which is in that 4th threshold. So running the numbers, the damage comes out to 9.988 per tick. There is an interesting quirk in how Dark Souls handles damage number on screens between bosses (with the on-screen healthbar and regular enemies). For bosses, the game will round up in display (so 10 versus the Taurus Demon), but a regular enemy it would only show up as 9. This doesn't really affect anything, but it is interesting to note. It is generally only noticeable on the 4 Kings fight - next time you fight one, take a look at the damage you are doing to each wraith versus the health bar at the bottom - it may be different by 1 point!
@trevthedev6134
@trevthedev6134 4 ай бұрын
As an added side-note; attack multipliers (such as the RTSR) affect the formula before damage is calculated, and damage multipliers (Power Within) affect it after damage is calculated. If you were to take the Taurus Demon and add on the RTSR, your attack would jump to 25.3 per hit, more than 2.5x your damage. Attack mults are super strong at lower attack ratings.

Technically you CAN get Fire Surge from the beginning. There's a glitch involving parry that can take you to Sen's Fortress without ringing any bell and also another glitch to makes Iron Golem send you to Anor Londo without killing him. After you get there you just need to get into the painting (don't forget the doll) and loot the spell. Biggest problem is: you can't rest at any bonfire from the moment you get into Sen's, otherwise you'll softlock yourself or you'll need to defeat O&S for the teleport... At least you get checkpoints on the way since once in Anor Londo you'll repawn at the start of the stage if you die and the same goes after you enter the painting. After you get the spell just use a Homeward Bone and go back to the last bonfire you sit at (not sure if you need to leave the painting before using it). No need to kill any boss on the way either except the Asylum Demon (and there's also a glitch to leave the Asylum without killing it), just make your way to Sen's gate through New Londo > Valley of The Drakes > Darkroot Basin > gate I'm not sure if those glitches work on the Remastered version tho

@@PABGVRG You need to parry and riposte a knight for the Sen's Fortress skip which does like 10 damage if you use your fist, hit the iron golem on the correct frame to cancel the grab to teleport you (not sure the exact amount of damage or other requirements), and you need to kill the asylum demon and then quit before he completely dies to get the key early from the dying knight. All of those need you to damage an enemy, and since you won't have fire surge something else will be needed. So if he were alright doing that he could complete this challenge.

EVERYTHING is on fire, and you hear the wizard say, "i cast FIreball AS A CANTRIP." "oh, SHIT!" the DM exclaims! in case you don't get it, Cantrips are "level 0" spells that, to put it simply, DON'T USE ANY MANA WHEN CAST!

my only guess is the mod used doesn't just add fire surge to your starting inventory, but rather switches the fireball you started with with the fire surge in painted world, because otherwise, you could, in theory, grab the second fire surge in the painted world and attune both for double the casts, plus the dusk ring for 4x casts while hyper mode might not last the entire length of all 240 casts against artorias, the ones you do get, combined with having the remaining casts all be while you're in RTS status, might just be enough to kill artorias

You can get the pilgrim’s key without technically killing the asylum demon by bringing it to zero health, getting the key drop, then quitting out before the victory achieved message. When you spawn back in the asylum demon will still be alive but you can just walk around them, open the door and head to firelink, go back to the asylum, skip stray demon, grab the peculiar doll, head back to firelink The next obstacle would be sen’s fortress, the gates of which can be bypassed via the deathcam glitch. The golem can be skipped via a very precise glitch involving its grab attack, which will send you flying out of bounds and into anor Londo, then you can simply enter the painted world to get fire surge and play the game normally

If Pyromancy is so dang strong in DS1 because upgrading the pyromancy flame is super easy and you don't need any stats for any of the spells... what about a pyromancy run where you never upgrade the flame? Would the stronger pyromancies give you enough damage potential to chew through the later bosses, or would you end up falling short?

Undead Rapport is great. Nothing is funnier than some angry blue coming into your world ready to throw down over all the red phantoms you sent their way, only for them to get jumped by your army of minions while you power up the TWoP-stabs.

Hey, I got some info from some big walking potato :D that in Salt and Sanctuary(or salt and sacrpfice srsly can't remember for now) they've added build-in randomizer, I feel like it would've been a great challenge for you and an awesome nostalgic video for us

Fire surge back on the 360 was so good it broke the 4th wall. Causing the console to overheat and fps fall to single digits.

Lemon. You must complete your final test. You must defeat every souls game with no bonfires and sacrifice all to prove your salt as a patience elemental. You shall have no sanctuary, but by the blood it sheds you shall be born anew. You shall be forged in the flames of the true goddess and put the greatest of demons to rest, the ashes rising the smother the moon. (Insert Dark Souls 2 reference here)

I'd love to see this challenge in ds2 as well if you could mod the spell into the game like how you modded immolation into ds1. Not quite sure how well it'd work with how low the base damage of the spell is, but at least you'd have semi reliable cast refreshes with herbs

Was gonna make a joke about how the best part of the video is confirmation that the oneshot video wasn't lost in the ether, but I figured I'd just check if it was out already, JUST TO BE SAFE YOU KNOW. Lo and behold, there it is. Must have been asleep that day or something, idk how I missed it.
