Dunno about undeserved. A lot of people moaning on Reddit admitted to giving themselves 99 titanite or other items claiming it's fine because they don't PVP but the point is they could.

I have however heard of people getting banned due to the PS4 controller software for it which would kinda suck.

Pyromancer counts as magic?


I call bullshit on that vid to be honest, Ive tried that spell in pvp. its not that great and plenty of counters.

first of all most the time in actual pvp in 90% of my experience you cannot dodge every attack, there is way too much ghost reach and general connectivity bullshit. his opponents aren't even landing a single hit, where mine hit me from other side of the map.

second most real pvp is not 1v1 so this tactic wont be that viable when 2+ people are trying to hit you. Add estus usage and your tactic is completely nullified because the damage is terrible, its basically a chip tactic.

and there are BETTER chip tactics like for instance, just running stab on katana/spear. Not only will that rape this pyro, it basically does the same thing but way better. that is chipping opponents hp and avoiding counters. even a bow build can do the same thing and probably do it better, but its just not actually that viable.

Some Nvidia streaming software seems to flag too. Or so I've read...

I've been flagged, not banned yet tho and I did not cheat. So I do believe that a bunch of innocents have been hit. Besides, they admitted false positives officially.

Got my cleric to Anor, and feel that I had enough experience in PvP to make some personal conclusions.
First of all, Blessed weapons don't scale damage with faith very well, on top of cutting the base damage of the weapon. Until I got my Astora 1h to +6, it felt like I was using a dagger. It still does about 1/3 less damage, compared to my heavy brigand axe, on my shielder, scaled with the same 35 points in attributes. Passive healing provided by blesses weapons is negligible.
Ranged miracles are hard to hit with, same as with magic spells. Though I want to mention that Gnaw, a miracle similar to what those fat lady-priests are using, does very good bleeding damage, though I have to lay two consecutive hits, in order for bleeding to kick in. Took anything between 1/3 to 2/3 of enemies' health off. Or so it seemed... I do not exactly know how bleeding works in terms of damage.
My best PvP miracle is Lightning Stake. It does insane amount of damage, if I hit a guy directly on his head :) And it seem to effect stamina as well - I am positively sure that I was able to break shield guard with it, opening the enemy for a critical.
The downsides are that it costs 50 FP and has melee range. Most useful as a surprise late battle trick - smacking an incoming enemy when we both used up few flasks :) I had good fun with it, and I advise those who are using miracles to give it a try.

I love using Sacred Flame on my Pyro alt, best animation. Takes quite some luck (or enemy stupidity) to hit though.

Also Aldrich Faithful at around SL70 - constant PvP action.

yeah aldritch is the only summon faction that actually works at all for me

I killed couple people with sacred flame, super fun, but yeah its much easier to just land a parry. altho that combo with iron flesh in archives is pretty dam clever.

Ah yes, the typical Fromsoft balance, or should we say zero balance.


The only thing that would work against this is sacred flame (it goes through shield), provided they don't move away.

Its just the average souls game balance on launch. Theres always a ton of bs, and to some extent its great.

Had my first proper go at PvP tonight:


I'm pretty bad at this, but I was winning 90% of 1v1s even with my shitty Australian connection. Feels wonky as, but still kinda fun. I think the average player is kinda noob

what are you recording with? bandicam doesn't seem to be working for me.

btw kadeth, astora is cool but not top tier imo. profaned greatsword is way better damage with same moveset, and better special imo. if you really want a charge special consider the gyndyr halberd its charge looks much better than regular.
