Magic-chads report in. Incantation-bros tolerated as well. How does it feel to be OP?

this might be a retarded question, but does upgrading my staff make my spells hit harder?

no
Check the sorcery scaling stat
Which of the initial 3 dragon spells on the island is the best?
Nothing easy mode about getting 1-shotted, bucko. Magic is glass cannon.
Souls games have always had a difficultly select, and it's called using magic.
I thought that was pyromancy?
It’s dogshit in blood borne and only middling in demons souls.
started as a warrior, been playing for 14 hours, still haven't found a staff or catalyst of miracles. where can i find one? pls magic bros i wanna shoot fun purple rocks and buff my weapon and turn into a dragon but I can't without one of those
merchant at roundtable sells starter gear
I also feel like this is the case. I beat the wolf man boss as the Prisoner with base stats and equipment by evading his attacks and casting the magic blade once I got enough distance. Haven't played and other Dark Souls games or 3D games with a controller before.
no it's called black knight weapons
is pyro as busted in elden ring as it was in ds3?
in ds3 after you got the catalysts that allow int/faith scaling for lightning and magic spells you basically had no weaknesses. full scaling fire and shadow, and 90% scaling lightning and magic

There is no pyro in Elden Ring, it's either sorcery or incantation, fire spells are in both of them. Also there's only like 4 seals to casts incantations with.
When do Miracles get good, I've only found Black flame and Black Flame blade for extras so far.
I've realized a while back that all the people telling me to git gud are running around with a healthbar that stretches across the screen, a very solid shield, and heavy armor. (Still at medium load)
That was when I came to the conclusion that I am superior.

Is parry useless, or am I just bad at this game? Is it possible to parry the zombie dogs? That area keeps filtering me.
What stats do I need to level for a prisoner build?
No levels, just make a nigger
is str/fth good?
can i go for a paladin build without sucking?
