Nice gameplay : very entertaining to watch On the other hand: - i think you use too much different spell : 10 spells is way too long to find the right one quickly when you’re under pressure -you use beloved stardust talisman in pvp? Why not using radagon icon => this one give you -30% damage reduction; it’s not worth it; just use radagon icon+ 40 dex or radagon icon+azur staff -and a last thing : your armor => i know it’s for the mage style but you can wear a heavy armor with a mage hat and you will always look like a mage: it’s better than not having damage reduction and zero poise

[@stevie31]

@@bulle0823 I always use radagons icon with azure staff in left hand but i used stardust this time for the casting speed boost since i was using carian glintstone staff instead of azure this time. I never wear armor on a pure mage because i like the look. The reason why i use so many spells is because i use all of them for different situations

[@bulle0823]

@@daxuo why bull goat? There is plenty beautilful heavy armor set other than Bull goat who match very well for a mage style And secondly i didn’t say he should use starshower, i just say he use too much different spell and this is not optimal because it’s too slow =>for exemple: -he could use glintblade phalanx as a ash of war instead as a spell and save one memory slot (and this is quicker to use too…) -Miriam’s vanishing into gavel of haima is cool to look but useless => just gavel of haima directly: with 89 poise+ 200 and 50% poise damage reduction during the casting animation only colossal weapon can interrupt you -carian slicer into carian greatsword into carian piercer is a cool combo but it demand 3 slot => just do carian slicer into carian piercer or even just spam carian slicer, it’s work too

@@bulle0823 because most people prefer FUN over sweaty min maxing. He's clearly skilled enough to not need the change in armour or spells.

[@jonahmartin1474]

Lemme help yall out. There's a thing called buff stacking. You're getting slapped for hard damage, and the opaline tear for damage isn't going to offset the 35% extra damage. Put golden vow on a dagger, and then eat a boiled prawn. All 3 or those will stack and reverse the extra damage, provided that you continue to apply these when you can

Is it tho?

I play seamless with a friend and we've been enjoying the occasional invasions on the way, and we're trying to be "nice" (wave, bow, no running away, etc. and we even have friendly fire on), but at the end of the day we're trying to progress and you're basically a miniboss. This ain't no fight club, you can't realistically expect us to take turns attacking you in these conditions. Unless not every gank is necessarily dishonorable in your eyes, what even _is_ honorable then?
