Who?
>>332791471
DS2 is actually a lot easier when playing melee in comparison to sorceries
he is literally more hardcore gamer than me and I spent around 6x the time he did playing this game

wrong
>>332792390
With the amount of enemies weak to blunt, melee is the easy mode in 2
There are way more bosses weak to it than magic
>>332792390
have fun dealing damage to anything pre castle you minusmensch
>>332791471
Sorcery is much harder than pure melee after the nerfs, you fucking retard. You can get a Large Club +6 before 10 minutes into the game. It does 700-800 damage, which is equal to what Soul Spear does waaay late game with a fully upgraded best staff and 50 INT.
>>332792493
It doesn't matter when you have to actually try to get hit as a mage
>>332792679
(YOU) are the fucking retard, you fucking retard. FUCK YOU

I haven't played DaS2 in a while, but Sorceries were easy as fuck and carried me through the game with minimal effort. Nothing I fought could close the gap as quickly as I could make it and cast.
This was before the DLC though. Only done one melee run since then.
>>332792575
I agree there is zero fun playing magic due to how fucking ridiculously easy it is
>>332791471
I use a bonfire ascetic in sinner's rise and now I can't kill the boss! That fucker chews thru everything I got, even the summons can't do shit. What do I do now?

In the DLC areas pure sorcery will get you killed easier than the base dagger you get when starting as explorer
most bosses dont even give you enough time to cast your spells before closing the game so you have like 1 spell max if the boss is in melee (99% all bossfights are melee)
spells require you to skill attunement, efficiently gimping you the first 50 levels or so if you expect to beeing viable as a pure caster, and even after that with a sl of 150 you wont get much health nor any other survival stat to a decent level
most enemies are really resistant, just go and check out the heide knight tower (the forced area you NEED to complete), you wont stand a chance as pure sorcerer
I swear to god sorceries are way more difficult to play than melee

>as a melee guy I have to deal with their super accurate weapon tracking, infinite poise, infinite stamina, animation cancelling bullshit
>as a caster they just go after me in a straight line eating my spells until they keel over
I mean to be fair putting 100+ hours into a game is pretty Uncasual.
On the flip side it's 100 hours in a garbage game so they've at least got hardcore bad taste.
>not playing hybrid str/int builds with powerstanced greatswords and casting soul spears
most fun i've had in das2

Yeah they were easy as fuck before the nerfs. They were actually broken. Soul Geyser used to 2-shot bosses with 3000 damage each cast. Everything related to spells got heavily nerfed, enemy magic resistances were buffed, etc.
>>332793726
As I said, I didn't do the DLC with magic. I flew through the base game with it, though. That's not pure sorcery, however. I was focusing on sorceries, but also used a longsword.
I never felt at a disadvantage. I could still dodge, and control spacing, I just had very effective ranged attacks. I also recall another stat increasing spell slots, but maybe I'm just confusing that for a ring.
>>332794259
That's good if you ask me. It was complete easy mode. I'd go back to see how it is now, but I really can't be bothered to play it any time soon.
>>332793816
Here's your (you)
A simple rapier or a club/mace is way more overpowered in both pve and pvp than sorcery.
In fact DS2 magic is fucking shit to the point i relied more on buffed weapons during my magic run.
