U can get extra copies of lightning spear from Licia of Lindelt, if you keep her alive to the point that you open the shrine of winter door with 4 out of the 4 great souls embraced ( the door to drangleic castle) , or with 1 million soul memory on ur first playthrough, the sorcerer merchant will also sell unlimited copies of his spells.
Really wish i didn't kill her lol. I have to wait for her gravestone to show up now but also don't think I'll be able to get the unlimited lightning spears.
A poison build would be sick! 🤢 A pyro build would be fire! 🔥 A sorc build would be smart! 👨🎓 A shield build would be safe! 🏰 A hex build would be haunting! 💀
For some reason this made me imagine if Dark Souls had Bard Buikls with musical spells cast by instruments, scaling with 2 stats like Hexes, one being new like WITS or something. Could effect item discovery or something so it has other uses idk yet still letting my brain ponder this pointless hypothetical- and the other stat could be DEX for string instruments because finger deterity. or that hypothetical new WITS- plus STR for percussive maybe. Stamina for wind instruments- idk lmao 🤣 feel free to ignore this. Just letting my thoughts be words.
I recently been playing ds2 because of you and your video guides! You are the most commited and entertaining ds2 youtuber/player I know! Thank you for motivating me to replay this game again!❤️
@@Sundude05nobody is talking about ds1 and both PTD and DS:R are nothing more than ports with almost no changes whatsoever. Sotfs was an actual remaster that changed and fixed a lot, the point still stands that a remake is possible.
Just found your channel recently - very cool to see a DS2 focused content creator! This is the souls game I've spent the least time with, so it's very interesting to see someone so well-versed in the game make it dance like you do. Keep up the great vids!
The Happy Souls "LIGHTNING!" build (+tears of denial) was the only method that helped me to complete the deathless run on ng+15 and finally have all the items on my first character.
The disc chime itself is insane as a main-hand weapon...the lightning damage it does while infused out-damages so many actual faith weapons really fast. Its only really held back by the bad shield moveset lol great video! \[T]/
Inspired me to do a miracle build. Just found your channel as I'm getting back into DS2 after a long break so this is great. Definitely the fastest I've ever see the throne watcher and defender beaten.
Dude, I just wanted to say that you’re by far the best souls TH-camr out there! Your commentary and gameplay is always on point! Keep up the great work!
Here's how to optomize your pyro dmg. Lost sinner's cuffs, blue dagger in off hand, fire clutch ring, Black Witch Domino Mask,dark pyro glove (go hollow), red tear stone ring, king's ring
I played DS2 for a bit before it became too annoying and I quit. Then, I marathoned a bunch of your videos and took the time to learn more about the game and even go back to it! I've gotten so much further, and this video alone is convincing me that my next run will definitely be a miracle run. Thank you so much for giving DS2 the love it deserves, it really is the most underrated game in the series.
it's decent at best but it's definitely the worst game that fromsoft have created. compared to any of the games fromsoft made this game falls really behind.
I'm playing through right now with Fire and Lightning, this video is like a guide and will help me a lot to find items to make myself more OP, thanks and keep up the great work!!
Engraved Gauntlets work with spells, miracles and hexes. It would have been fun to use with Heavenly Thunder since it has so many hits in such a short time. Also, Splitting Lighting Spear is very good if there is a clump of enemies in the distance. It does not hit the same enemy twice but it hits all the enemies once in that clump. So it does what it says, it is like you are throwing 5 Lightning Spears and once. I agree that damage could be a bit higher tho.
@@zzodysseuszz I wouldn't say most people are bad, moreso they're used to the baseline I-frames from the other games. I do agree that the game is pretty easy once you get used to 85 Agility
Your talking speed saves my lifetime. :D Thanks, cool video. Playing miracles atm with a friend (his first DS2 experience), nice to know I'm basically doing it right.
very underrated channel)It's way better to watch your videos than other channels with millions of subscribers. Keep going you deserve more subscribers!
Back on that DS2 grind and just found your channel. Amazing content and someone who shares my love for Faith builds. Crazy how much work you need to do now though with SotFS locking a lot of stuff behind NG+ or Covenants but still this is such a fun game.
Your the reason I started playing dark souls 2 despite it being the “black sheep” of the souls games and now it’s one of my favorites, also try out the lost sinner sword
I am an anti-magic, anti-longrange Souls player. I have a great bias against it, but man, this build looks so much fun to do! This is also one hell of a funny upload, my guy. Dove into the lava, Mirror Knight parrying spells, Fume Knight got cooked mid air, Forlorn got lost in Canada. Keep the grind and see you on the next upload!
I’ve really been enjoying your content and whenever I see you post a new video it makes my day 10x better keep up the good work! Also you should try out sacred chime hammer or rulers great sword they are really fun to use in my opinion.
It’s very fun, though if you’re not doing VS ONLY then you can use a caestus in the main hand for a vastly faster powerstanced attack - or the Bone Fist
Eeeyyyy, mah boi doing caster builds? I was just about to comment on your previous video that you should do some caster builds as well, but here we go! I'm looking forward to your other caster builds/videos as well! Keep it up, man, I love your content!
Just the viable build variety alone makes DS2 my favourite in the series, I love how you can just use pretty much everything the game hs and have success if done correctly. I wish Miracles and pther forms of magic were at least a bit better in ds3. But awesome vid man, hyped for the hex and sorcery ones, maybe even a pyro?
this is an amazing video and it does always surprise me how good miracles can still be despite how butchered they got in casts and damage NOW SUREm Najka taking only 150+ damage from a GLS, with a +4 dragon chime, at 50 faith... yeah that still hurt to see but i mean if could add things in here as weapon options for a pure faith build, any basic weapon is amazing when given a boltstone. my personal favorite was the mace, but the heide sword wasn't far behind because of the stats needed to just hold it. longsword, dagger, shortsword, axes... if it took less than 15 points i built it and my cleric used it, it was good
This is my first time commenting since I usually watch on my console but I’ve been watching since I got recommended the ultra greatsword 5 months ago and just wanted to say your videos are amazing keep up the great work
Try out majestic greatsword it has the best moveset in the game in my opinion and is artorias sword which already makes it the best weapon in the game it’s my favorite weapon and probably the most fun to use try it out. And make sure to use it in left hand for the special moveset and extra damage,also I think you have to press the parry button to use the the unique attacks but am not sure, keep up the great work!
One other extremely minor buff you could’ve added in here just for raw damage is the Bell Helm. It boosts the power of all chime-casted magic by a slight amount, but with the numbers you were tossing out it definitely would’ve been noticeable. I guess if you ever revisit miracles you have another toy to mess around with.
Inspired me to make a mixed melee/Faith build; looks not only good but fun to use. Surprised how Heavenly Thunder can be so efficient; never paid much attention to it⚡
Genuinely as one honest criticism of your videos, they’re just the slightest bit too fast, like the footage is slightly uncomfortably fast, and speaking, but apart from that your videos are perfect and really entertaining, Keep doing you bro
Bro trust me you have to stream! It’s really interesting to watch you play, and you really have the ability to keep your viewers entertained with the things you talk about. You definitely should at least try streaming it. I’m sure many people would watch, and you would have a way to connect more to your viewers. Love the stuff you do man, keep it up!
if you need to farm sunlight medals, theres a miracle you can find in the crypt thats a giant AOE that does INSANE damage to hollow enemies, you can kill almost all the falconers near the bonfire in a single cast. i forget what its called
bro if you gonna try a poison build you should really try the black scorpion stinger with power stance. i was trying to pure melee poison build and it really worked well, it has a good amount of physical and poison damage. it is a really underrated weapon in my opinion.(i wear the sanctum soldier gaunlets and crest of the rat ring too for extra poison damage)
Back on release (PC) I was a very "Solaire" casual miracle/Paladin build. I helped; I got help. It was amazing. "Rolanda Yew" and "Golden Girl" By release I mean ORIGINAL release. Not remake. Edit: If memory serves, the DLC came out while I was in NG+ And they nerfed the extras you get. I was pissed!
I started a new game, and use the bonefire ascetic in the point to kill the giants lord, and after using the endless trick of taking the ascetic bonefire in the begining of the memory of the giant, in the end i killed 99 times, to make my character level 320, is insane.
If you thought Miracles are strong now should have seen them before Lightning Spear, Great Lightning Spear and Sunlight Spear got nerfed in patch 1.08 The patch was supposed to increase the amount of damage for these three miracles at the cost of fewer spell uses, but it ended up decreasing the damage by mistake and they never fixed it.
Me neither, I used lightning spears and its variants against the Darklurker in NG+7 (probably the hardest boss in the main game) and they are extremely good
Im pretty sure dlc bosses have bonus resistances against elemental ranged attacks specifically, like my 99int staff of wisdom soul spears were hitting for barely triple digit damage while all my magic melee attacks were still doing good dmg. Heavenly thunder is still just strong as fuck so it doesnt matter as much lmao
They perfected heavenly thunder in the elden ring (ancient dragon lightning strike) the lightning strike is more consistent and can easily one shot large bosses with the right setup.
Favourite miracle spell in DS2 ?
Sunlight spear 🙏
Heavenly thunder
I second Sunlight Spear. Most satisfying spell to oneshot some poor guy with.
Splintering lightning spear
@@avetruetocaesar541 landing this spell on giant enemies is my ASMR
Its a miracle

It gives me faith to see this
This is gold, you are gold, I love you

They were definitely OP in Vanilla lol. They've since been hard nerfed, but still do great damage. Super sad for both miracles and sorcery builds.
theyre still op.
Your the reason I started playing dark souls 2 despite it being the “black sheep” of the souls games and now it’s one of my favorites, also try out the lost sinner sword

Awe my dude look at all the love you’re getting! Great vid as always.

Keep up the grind
When i first played ds2 and discovered miracles, it was mind-blowing for my 13yo ass to cast lightning bolts, good days ...
I have never managed a miracle build in DS2 so you're doing a lot better than me
This was exactly my first successful run in this game, but i also used lightning rapier to fight mobs, it was quite fun
Its always a good day when Yaz uploads

Finally dodges the flame wave attack from Old Iron King. *Rolls into lava*
Bro idk if this is true or not but some people say the mace has different range if you use it in the right hand, is it better or worse?!
i have no idea tbh
I swear you make this game look so much better than how people describe it G. W vid!! 😂
it is better than what people say.
@Ghorda9 makes me wanna play it more but I can never catch these games on fucking sale 😒
Man the Disc Chime is a strong weapon too, it does like 600+ dmg x hit !
So strange killing bosses using just a shield :)
Me neither, I used lightning spears and its variants against the Darklurker in NG+7 (probably the hardest boss in the main game) and they are extremely good
Very nice miracle build bro
