Magebros remember the good ol' days when we dominated? Do you think we were forgotten in Dark Souls 3 as well?

i'm replaying this and the other titles to get ready for das 3 and i'm also having nostalgia for how good the community was before dark souls came out.dark souls 2 had pretty good magic, op, don't know if you avoided it on purpose or not.
>>330577356
probably not.
alpha testers said you have a separate MP bar again, instead of just a cast number, and you can drink a new kind of Ash Estus to refill it

I mostly encountered faggots who did nothing but spam dark orbs
I don't see why people play magic builds in these games. Magic trivializes what makes these games interesting and is just no very well implemented. It's mostly just 10 variants on the same projectile and turns the entire game into just kiting. Why even bother playing at that point?
Other games do magic better, why no go play a game where a magic build is actually fun to play? The only real purpose of the magic build in the Souls series is that it's the hidden easy mode option for people that just want to see the game without the challenge.

>everyone you invade used the dupe glitch and are way over leveled
Yeah naw

>overleveled
we're talking about DeS right? online compatibility was determined by soul level, so everyone was usually around 120. Duping was a problem, but hey, at least you didn't have to farm stones as much with it.

The souls games usually have a boss or two that is immune to magic, or at least a specific element, just to punish the fuck out of anybody that minmaxes into one specific playstyle.
Just watch all the faggots who tried fighting Smelter Demon with pyromancy and cried THIS GAME IS NO FAIR.

I'd just like to replay it

I liked the idea of Pyromancy in DaS1. It was just a magical option for those weren't built for actual spellcasting. The problem was how powerful it could be when it, stat-wise, it was practically free. It should have just been toned down a little (which it was, but still). The way DaS2 just kind of homogenized all the schools of magic kind of pissed me off.

To be completely honest, if you are going to play a Spellslinger in Ds3 then you are probably retarded.
Ds3 is Bloodborne 2, except the enemies are in some ways an actual threat, you ain't got time to sling spells when some several thousand pound motherfucker is running faster than a horse in a boss room.
If you do not play Souls games as a melee character, then you're missing out on half of the fun of the combat.

I can handle the fantasy weapons, I can even handle the weapons being blown up to obscene sizes, but I can't handle the fucking retarded way they are used.

Wherever you want. Provided you aren't asking where you find the Monumental. Go upstairs in the Nexus and look around for a row of small statues. Then you can go between all five archstones at will.

How would you make spellcasting interesting /v/?
