The Best Caster Build In Dark Souls 2

[@Yazzmania]

What y’all think ? Better than sorceries and miracles ? If not what is :)

[@adan1221]

my first proper run in dark souls 2 was hex build but god damn I never thought that they could become this powerful btw WHEN DUAL GREATSWORDS BUILD??

[@IL4NCER]

The only one left is pyro

[@patrickbishop9765]

Ersonaly I love sorcerys but other than that I always do strength it's my favourite build to do

[@PierreLucSex]

...right ?

[@cardorchard8710]

I don't even know why they did it dirty like that in dark souls 3. But the quest was nice ig

[@cirkleobserver3217]

At least in elden ring the two types of magic are so robust that you can have multiple builds within each category. You could build around dragon incantations, carian sorcery, crystal sorcery, holy/lightning, etc.

[@pockystyx4087]

it's just a shame that there's a total of 1 INT/FTH weapon to use for the stat distribution, outside of just sticking to one stat, and going for NG+ or high level stuff. I really enjoyed that the convergence mod added INT/FTH scaling to death/magma/golden stuff, giving them better synergy with the spell requirements. I'm hoping that Shadow of the Erdtree could maybe give us INT/FTH lovers some more tools to mess around with.

[@wifesen8138]

so crazy how the rapier fits into every build because of its super low stat requirements, most op weapon in this game by a long shot

[@Yazzmania]

100% agree with you

[@misterhyde2817]

​@@Yazzmania What about a pyro strength build

[@schmietwechdeschiet4340]

Most OP weapon by a long shot? Come one Ladle....we get the fuck out of here! Those people don't know what they talking about.

[@goldenk3y106]

​@@schmietwechdeschiet4340well it is tho? Its broken

[@yurinoworry]

@@goldenk3y106it’s not even closest to most broken. it’s like the sellsword twinblades of this game. super efficient and easy to pick up and use, but certain specified builds will easily outclass it if you know what you’re doing

[@mirko241]

It's amazing how much you can do in DS2 without killing the majority of bosses

[@jacoblesterud9000]

fun fact, those 2 invaders outside the rottens boss room are 2 different guys, woodland child victor and gully. you can actually get invaded by both at the same time if you have a co-op phantom with you including the npc phantoms.

[@ZachAttack3710]

Just what I was gonna say

[@davidboyajian1399]

2 days in a row? Hell yeah man, been loving the past few spellcaster type builds.

[@seraph3244]

Hey man I just wanna say thank you for single-handedly inspiring me to pick up DS2 again- it’s refreshing to see someone who actually likes this game besides myself

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Elden Ring missed an opportunity to bring back Hexes as a new form of magic. Hexes are one of the main reasons I come back to DS2 - they are insanely fun.

[@ColetheFlame01]

are they actually? I never really enjoyed the dual style of both int and faith but maybe I'll give it a try. I also didn't enjoy the idea of spending souls for my damage but I suppose at some point it just doesn't matter anymore.

[@nunchuksteev9811]

They give you access to them early too. Usually you have to get close to the end of the game to start using dark magic.

[@kinetic1029]

Love that you did all 3 caster builds, neat to see the differences between them. Just found you a week or two ago and I've been having a blast watching all the DS2 videos. Keep it up man

[@MamaTrixxieAsmr]

The dark orb didn't make the lizard slow, it was the special property of hexes in action: every time a hex hits something, it takes away some stamina, enemies in this game don't use stamina tho so their behavior becomes a bit janky when they lose all of it lol. You can see ut in action if you just facetank one of the dark orbs from one of the big guys in the area with all the poison gas Edit: remembered the name of the area I was referring to, I was talking about Harvest Valley

[@schmietwechdeschiet4340]

Enemies don't use stamina... What do you mean? How are enemies guard broken then?

[@MamaTrixxieAsmr]

@@schmietwechdeschiet4340 they dont actively use their stamina doing practically anything, the only time enemies lose stamina is upon recieving stamina damage. they have it but dont use it.

[@tendietyrant4206]

I really enjoy your videos man, the editing is done so well. You explain everything so well and at a fast pace. Easily one of if not the best souls youtuber. Thanks for all the content.

[@J0nker_]

Damn bro its really good to see your channel growing so fast!

[@oldboy4125]

Spells, hexes, miracles and pyromancies do extra damage when you land headshots with them. Npc invader in the gutter took big damage because you had the high ground and all the orbs were hitting her in the head. I sometimes walk around with binoculars trying to land headshots with sunlight spears, crystal soul spears :) Although big boss enemies are excluded from this afaik. Also, Dead Again is the spell to destroy the skeleton lords, worms in Gutter drop the spell if you want to get it before the boss. It is very satisfying to blow them all up.

[@D0mino8728]

[@DoingThings-hz7rv]

Saaaammmee

[@madianantar7842]

If you thought hexes are busted, i’m not sure there’s an adjective that can describe how good pyromancies are

[@thebyk348]

Pyro and hex are two sides of the same coin imo, they scale nearly exactly the same and on most non special weapons their infusions are one to one, but pyromancy has a much lower barrier to entry with them having no stat requirements, I think they are best used in tandem

[@madianantar7842]

@@thebyk348 no, i have an account with 99 all stats except adp 7 and pyro deals way way more dmg

[@ColetheFlame01]

@@thebyk348 you probably know this by now, but they scale oppositely actually. Fire damage is the sum of both Int and Faith added up. Dark damage or Hexes scale with your lowest stat between Int and Fth.

[@JCR242]

Oh damn, didn't expect another video so soon!

[@user-og6ei8pr7b]

i finished the game as a mage knight and im planning on making a dark, paladin and pyro builds and these videos are perfect

[@DoingThings-hz7rv]

That "hope ur day is great " and such at the start of the video , i find it warming ❤️❤️, hope ur having a great day too champ

[@smoogy2164]

You should try the Pilgrim's Spontoon. It pretty much requires the clear bluestone +2 to use, but it opens up a lot of options for hybrid builds. In PVP I would use the spontoon in my left and a sacred chime hammer in my right. The hammer rolling R1 actually causes double stunlock in conjunction with the spontoon's L1s, then you can follow that up with a quick hex. Choose whatever hexes you prefer to control space like darkstorm, lifedrain patch etc. or do silly stuff like casting affinity and the chime hammer's special two hand R2 affinity at the same time.

[@silva4038]

Nah man you are an absolute GOAT those videos you're making are sick. Thank you for the consistency and the good commentary and editing! Keep on!

Amongst all the caster builds in DS2 hexer is the best in my perspective and thanks for doing this build. Its one o' my favourites. Love ur vids

[@FyterianTV]

thanks for this, ima use this guide in my next DS2 run!

[@StrunDoNhor]

Proper hexes deserve to come back. Elden Ring's death sorceries just don't cut it. I also feel like there's _huge_ untapped potential in using Souls as a damage scaler. DMC5 has a really fun weapon (the hat) that basically does that: use Red Orbs (that series' version of souls) as a resource for dealing damage. Except it also lets you _generate_ crazy amounts of orbs if you know how to use it, which I feel could be really fun & satisfying in a Soulsborne game.

Damnit… you make me want to replay this game. My first playthrough also was a hex build, but I started with cleric for lightning fun, before going hexes. I looooved the great sword you get from the special rotten sword. My dumbass didn’t understand adaptability, or rather, didn’t respect it, so I had a bad time when I couldn’t just blast enemies lol.

Absolutly loved hexes in PVP. Stamina damage effect of them is OP. Almost every noob on the iron keep bridge was struggling to dodge affinity + dark orb/resonant soul spam .11:34 lizard was slowed, because you blew her stamina.

[@marschallblucher6197]

The thing about hex builds that make them really busted for pvp is that any enemy that is resistant to dark is probably weak to fire. Pyromancy scales of int/faith just like hexes. You just need souls and fire seeds. You also get access to some miracles and sorceries (mainly utilities but if you decide to boost int and faith a ton and grind out spice you can become a master caster)

The 'double invasion' of the woodland child isn't the same npc invading twice, its actually two npcs, with slightly different names

[@greenhowie]

Hexes are so busted, they really make the game a breeze with the right loadout. Think the early one that reduces defence only works on physical defence but I could be wrong. Good video anyways, was nice to see the Basilisk campfire buddy doing what he does best. Not sure if it's your kind of challenge run but forcing yourself to get past the Shrine of Winter to make Aava the first boss is a weird one, basically planning routes to efficiently genocide everything up til then. Can't use ascetics either since you need to kill a boss to use them. It's not exactly hard, just a matter of planning and logistics. Also having to redo an entire run if one of the Pursuers in things betwixt despawns and refuses to come back.

[@TrueTrife]

Hexes are OP and the game revolves around the theme of the Dark being its most powerful in this era so it makes sense that hexes are busted. I used to run a hexer build with a dark infused crypt gs
