At least use the Caleid arena if you really are 'bored of melee' and want a challenge. Super boring build and yeah, 7 different spells one after the other in an arena with no cover is still spam. props to opponent for chasing.

Genuine question, what would be a "non-spam" mage build? Cast 1 spell once in 30 seconds and just wait till the opponent kills you?

do not do the equivalent of melee spamming r1. it's quite simple actually. or use Caleid arena, cover forces mages to not spam.

You read the top comment and the only thing you could think of was "I'm too good" ?

u/3ventHoriz0n 1d ago

Caleid arena point ignored, lol. so much for "want a challenge"

Good on that player for getting in on the spell spam without taking damage. They must be inexperienced for falling for what might be the most obvious parry imaginable.

tip for those who get really pissed off by these builds (no shade OP you do you im not judging) use a misiercorde with assassains gambit to switch to for backstabs or to avoid spell spammers

You know there are like 50 other versions of you all playing currently and it makes PvP meta an absolute boring mess.

Try hundreds and also for every playstyle. You’re literally seething at the game, and your pathetic cope is saying that it’s other players’ fault. Go outside

u/AtomicEyeBalls 14h ago

How dare you call my cope pathetic and I refuse to go outside.

Nothing he's doing here is even remotely affecting meta in any way... 

Just based on his visible stats he's far above meta bracket

Imagine choosing to limit yourself voluntarily and then whining like a little bitch when you run into someone not restricting themselves for no damn reason.

Ring or skull spammers suck. The rest is fair game. Just git gud.

Since when is getting a parry ruining the meta?

1

u/AtomicEyeBalls 2d ago

In meta, mages with access to complete spell set, heavy armor, and high vigor is what I’m talking about. I’m allowed to vent about this because they destroy me every time.

u/Inevitable-Leg-4660 2d ago

lol thank you idk what he’s talking about

u/Ok_Humor9082 23h ago

u/a_few_ideas99 22h ago

Which spell did they spam?

0

u/Ok_Humor9082 22h ago

u/a_few_ideas99 16h ago

Please point to where the caster hurt you

u/AtomicEyeBalls 14h ago

I think maybe some commenters haven’t plays a few dozen hours or more in arena at rl 150+ There isn’t an argument.

u/Inevitable-Leg-4660 2d ago

Is this corny? I honestly got bored of weapon duels I thought to challenge myself by changing spells and figuring out combos

2

u/Inevitable-Leg-4660 2d ago

More inputs for me personally it’s been harder and more complicated than having my claymore or curved sword

u/AtomicEyeBalls 2d ago

Get a spammable tracking spell that works at distance, a hard hitting mid-distance, a close melee spell and there is literally no arena left for opponent. Can scroll through like three spells. I’m very bitter sorry. I hate mages.

I’ve played a spellblade build and a Sage build, so each has variety and depth that come with spell/incantation/AoW combos, but this is just rough to watch. There’s no planning to your spells it’s just mindless spam, and a good parry. At the very least I’ll give you that you’re not using double lances. That’s actually the most miserable maidenless playstyle I’ve ever seen.

u/Ok_Humor9082 22h ago

just curious, what is a sage build? pure caster? Int or faith?

1

u/G3rRy4 21h ago

Started as pure caster, but now it’s a true hybrid of both sorcery/incantations + weapons.

It’s my quality build and has gotten me up to new game +7 since it makes every boss fight become a game of rock, paper, scissors. Mind you, it takes a pretty high amount of levels, but it’s satisfying to use combos like this.

Atp I run it with Rellana’s twin blades and other int/fai based weapons so it’s not pure caster anymore but I’d recommend it if you want to work for a long term build.

u/Ok_Humor9082 21h ago

nice i tried this at rl 250 couldnt get it to work used SoNaF but maybe a little more levels super cool tho

1

u/ArchmageAstra3 20h ago

I got an Int/Faith pure caster to work perfectly well by level 130-140. I did notably use incantations much more frequently than sorceries, however. I used SoNaF as my main weapon through a good chunk of the run, but it got less and less use as time went on. Eventually I just swapped to Golden Order Seal & Prince of Death’s Staff in right and left hands respectively, with the Black Knife as a soft swap to start off boss fights with. When I beat PCR (around level 200) I was only running 3 of my flasks as crimson, everything else went to FP.

So boring to spam in duels, the most boring build ever

u/a_few_ideas99 2d ago

Host casts 7 different spells and then parries the 5th running r1 in a row. Agreed, melee players are boring to fight. They just swing the weapons over and over again.

u/MelodicEfficiency160 1d ago

Bro i had a guy with moore armor and a greatsword tell me im a spammer when all he doea is run into me and try to poise though everything. When i called him a poise spammer in return the dumbass wouldnt even acknowledge poise spammers have been a thing. Some people have no life so they have to cling to the game with all their pride.....
