    Using the Beast Claw Seal to cast the Bestial incantations with only 16 Strength is probably why they did so little damage. The Beast Claw Seal uses Strength scaling.

      even with max strength min faith for spells it works out around the same if not worse to use that seal as the caster

    53:14 Loretta's spells are classified as Glintblade sorcery rather than Glimstone - the colour is actually a clue, since Glintblade sorceries use a pure blue whereas most Glintstone spells are cyan (except for Founding Rain of Stars and Stars of Ruin). But the more reliable hint is just staring at the crest that shows up when you cast it - the circular crest with two blades is the Glintblade sigil, while the Glinstone sigil is the one on Terra Magica.
    Either way, not that important to the run, just cool trivia.

    • @themanofquagga
      @themanofquagga Před 2 měsíci +5

      Carian sorceries, not Glintblade, but yeah. They were the personal spells of the Carian royal house, the rulers of Raya Lucaria, who mainly taught Glintstone sorceries.

      @paracame8162 Před 24 dny +1

      Loretta's Sorceries are classified in their own Category. they have their own crest that looks similar to the Carian crest.
      why? the Carians use swords. she modified it into a bow

  • @coleclark5625
    @coleclark5625 Před 4 měsíci +12

    For a future trick involving spells. I’ll use the frenzy flame for example. If you use the seal that boost frenzy flame incantations in your off hand and use a better faith scaling seal like the erdtree seal. You’ll still get the boost of damage from the frenzy flame and the scaling from the erdtree seal. Unless that was nerfed from last time I did it. It’s not like a massive damage difference but it’s like a 100 damage to a 150

  • @ultra824
    @ultra824 Před 3 měsíci +28

    Litany of Proper Death isn't actually a bad spell it's just that it really only does one thing: kill undead.
    It has pitiful base damage but absurdly wide area coverage, particularly for its very short casting animation. and that base damage isn't so bad when you realize it does *+500%* to Those Who Live in Death.
    It's not super useful in this type of challenge run, because there aren't any undead bosses on the critical path, (and area coverage is of admittedly limited use against most bosses anyways) but it can make the undead-heavy parts of farum azula a breeze to traverse, flattening whole squads of skeletons at a time. Wiuld have made deathroot hunting a bit easier though probably
    When Shadow of the Erdtree drops I know I'm going to be keeping this spell in mind, since SotE will probably have more undead than the base game

    • @gunsevenwhillans420
      @gunsevenwhillans420 Před 2 měsíci +4

      Deals +900% damage to undead actually. And yes, everyone who says that Litany of Proper Death is a terrible spell can't read: It was specifically designed by From Software to be only used against undead like the skeletons in catacombs and that's it.

    The official rot class of incantations also includes pest threads, so it would not have been impossible. Also, lorettas mastery looks like a carian sorcery, which is just a subsect of glint stone sorcery developed by rennalas family. You can theoretically divide spells and incantations down into like 20-30 different classes, but that would just be painful

It honestly seems like a challenging problem to find a solution to and a perfect one probably doesnt exist but at the end of the day its still fun as hell and super satisfying to just nuke bosses.

    I really like fire incantations because you can get Fire Scorpion Physic and 4 attacks very very easily.

      As well as going to gowery after finishing millicent's questline and killing him gives you a better version of the faithful's canvas talisman

    Lithanie of proper death is only great against skelly and other undead type like deathbird and deathright bird then it does godly dmg. Against everything else it's shat

    I'm confused. I've had a death spell run (just new game though) and all of the spells were pretty bad. Ancient death rancor was okay against some bosses simply due to the tracking (like Malenia) but the damage is mediocre at best. Never ended up using the ghostflame explosion as I also ran the death's poker alongside, which has a similar effect and from what I've read is the better one (though it doesn't do the starburst flames but only a single line). The worst part about these spells is that they require both int and faith on similar levels as other spells that only require one of them so you have to pump twice the amount of levels into damage just to get them running and then they only deal a mediocre amount of damage best case, instead of ... y'know ... twice as much as others? So maybe on NG++ that negative side effect is negated as you'll be higher level anyway. But, yeah. For a new game run, C tier at best. I did like the Tibia Summons despite their average damage because they're kinda goofy, but again, Rosus' Axe has the same effect but better. Fia's mist is PVP only, it deals no damage and the PVE enemies are immune to the deathblight effect and rancorcall is just a much weaker version of ancient death rancor, which already isn't all too good, esp. for how late you get it. Also, not sure but I think the family heads have the same ash of war as rancorcall. Kind of a shame that none of the spells is really unique.
    My frenzied run (also new game) was WAY stronger. Tried unenduring frenzy once but didn't like it due to the animation, the fact you're really slow while casting, and because it slurped up my FP pretty quickly. Flame of frenzy is quicker and deals way more damage for its FP cost so I stuck with that and frenzied burst (the distance and the undodgeable instahit are insane) plus Vyke's spear. 1 flame of frenzy and Gideon went insane standing in the flames, another one down immediately to deal even more damage while he's stunned for ages, then when he finally tried to roll away, caught his minute rest of HP with a third cast, he was down in mere seconds. I'd rate it definitely a higher tier than the death spells. Also I never used the buff once. Then again, I had the physical damage of Vyke's spear to fall back to against fire resistant enemies so that might have given me a better impression of the overall build than the spells alone.
    I sort of agree with the bestial judgement, though I would put them at C tier instead of B. They're all really bad besides the stone, which is decent. Just don't try to fight Malenia with it, she'll dodge them all. Had to use the beast claw and charge it up to spread the fan so when she tries to dodge, she's then still in the spell area, for I think 500-600 damage or so. Only works in first phase, though, as she's too aggressive in second phase to charge and she'll dodge it uncharged. Only thing I could use there was the bestial sling, for a lousy 200 damage, but it's super fast and safe to cast on many occasions. It was pretty rough and took ages.
    All that said, I played on patch 1.04-1.08, so things might have changed since then.
    I'm also surprised you used cometshard instead of comet, as that is the same spell but stronger. And according to fextra, Loretta's bow is its own category. I would certainly not count it as glintstone but rather carian sorcery, if anything. On that note, why no carian sorceries?
    Also, if you group spells by their category, not their damage type, you could have easily used the rot breath, as the dragon communion spells offer *every* damage type you can think of. Rot, Frost, Magic, Fire, Physical. No boss is immune to them all, and they can deal crazy damage. Rot first, then toggle between frost and fire with the occasional physical in between, it's awesome. However, the downside of all of those spells is that they're exceptionally slow to cast, especially when you charge them. So despite their quality, they're still a challenge.
    But then you also couldn't have used the black blade in the faith run as it's an erdtree spell and not a golden order one, as you mentioned. You could have done two runs though, the three crucible spells are considered erdtree as well, so that's four damage spells (+ elden stars lol). Golden order would be pretty awful then, though.
