Seems like the tick damage was nerfed.

Seems you're right, but the base damage/stun potential still makes it worth it.

you did__ beat the game

You didnt beat the game.

did you beat the game?

WE beat the game.

Why it's so much better than Malenia flower spell?

>play with fun and original build
>endgame
>use everything at my disposal to kill Malekith, Malenia, Radagon/elden beast

I don't feel bad at all given how bullshit their fights are.

You didn't beat the game

Useless fucking spell. There's no armor and you can easily be interrupted while doing it. Game has a shit ton of useless spells like that.

cant believe this shit only requires like 10 arc and 12 faith

90% of incantations are shit because a slight breeze will knock you out of the animation

I...I can't do it bros...I can't beat her 2nd phase...

you can trivialize the game in a hundred different ways

bro... your mimic and bleed????

I wanted to recreate the Banished Dragon Knight but this dragon spell he's using isn't actually in the game is it?

Rule of thumb is - the cooler the incantation looks, the worse it is. A legendary rarity is also a big flag. It’s honestly sad that starting pyromancy is the best one.

but I have a STR build and powerstanced battle hammers...

Just fucking nerf bleeding, holy shit.

bro.. your mimic and jump attack staggers?

The problem is that spells altogether are slow as fuck. You might have luck comboing o, Flame>Into flower.

Because its practical, whereas Scarlet Aeonia was built to only look cool.

user...there are no openings...and whenever I do get that stagger hit, there's a 80% chance she'll jump in the air to prep her "you die now" combo, and from that close you have no chance to run away and dodge it...

I can't take much more of this...

Pretty much this. I feel no shame resorting to cheese and exploits for the endgame bosses. They all move and operate like they're in sekiro/bloodborne while we're stuck in dark souls 3, fuck that.

>there are no openings
Her divebomb and big flower leave her wide open for a long time, user

Get bloodhound step. I literally just got a random weapon slapped that on and switched weapons when she was doing her water fowl attack.

>Try Malenia's spell
>Eats up all my spell slots
>lengthy cast time that can be easily interrupted
>20 minute recovery period
Absolutely bullshit.

Alternate bashing her face in with your mimic so she stays staggered.
I recommend using a greatshield for that shitty combo.

>dual wielding godskin hooks
using those things with dual seppeku is borderline broken, no shame in getting ganked with that shit

>I recommend using a greatshield for that shitty combo.
but then she just heals all the damage you did to her while you're blocking

go the nearest grace then infuse the hammers with blood, put bloodhound step in the right one. You will now kill her in the next 10 tries, good luck.
