Dark Souls II - MEMES - Useless Spells Against All Bosses - NO DAMAGE 

😂😂😂 that made me chuckle

Omg, thats so funny

the scraps of life against the royal rat was great.

I just beat Darklurker today on my second try using this spell. I never leave home without it now

in my personal experience, fire swathe is pretty good, especially against darklurker, expect you need to use in right time otherwise he'll sorta dodge it.

he called forbidden sun WOT?!

So true. Most of these spells are actually useful.

I think it's considered not as strong due to being only a few casts given or needing a lot of stat investment to really deal pain. Don't forget long cast times and periods of vulnerability. There's a reason why Soul Arrows and Lighting Spears are pretty much the meta caster spells in PvE at least.

I have the same issue with the video he did for this in DS3, it includes Black Flame (damn near instant guard-break in PvE and iirc both Deep Soul variants as well as Pestilent Mist. The Deep Soul spells are weak but cheap and spammable, so you can have like three or four Deep Souls active on top of whatever else you have up (like Affinity or a Black Serpent). Also I consider it cheating to call spells like Combustion useless, those are designed for use in the early game and to be replaced by stronger variants later on (Great Combustion). They're designed to be replaced later on by stronger spells

It really makes it all the more tragic that the DS3 spells are so bland and less useful. They even had the templates for cooler, diverse spells and they opted for more soul spears and fireballs

Thing is, if it’s online you can’t really use it against a Host, no? Because they’re human..

@@locallypwned5680 nah. In the little DS2 I've played (especially recently in the original on ps3) I've been invaded a few times while hollow. And in the dragon covenant I have been invading and invaded while hollow, also.

@@locallypwned5680 being hollow in ds2 just means you're a lower priority for being invaded on your shard

@@SteamPaladin even then that doesn’t even matter anymore because of the lower player population. Constantly invading hollowed players

@@GamesDiddley actually yes it does matter because pwned seems to have thought that ds2 behaved on the same mechanics as ds1 did where players can't be invaded unless they're human which is what i and taylor have clarified. hollows in ds2 are still a lower priority invasion target than humans because that is how the game has been programmed. i don't care how the pvp meta operates because the pvp meta was never what was being questioned. i don't care if hollows get invaded more often because there are less players in general. that is not relevant to what anyone in the thread has said. the point is that hollows are able to be invaded. did you even read the thread?

The player takes no damage

@@carrops fair enough then

I feel like this video is more of a “look at me beating all these bosses with magic without getting hit,” kind of thing

I feel like it's because there aren't that many bad spells in ds2. Only ones that I would say are objectively bad are immolation and some of the dlc spells.

@@Never_at_All I guess because they aren’t utterly broken like they were in ds1 they’re considered “trash”.

@@lasershark0519 True, ds1 had a lot of just busted spells, ds2 had a lot of good or really good spells, and ds3 had some good ones and some utterly garbage ones. That's how I feel at least.

@@Never_at_All DS3 has some weird miracles and some weird sorceries. They made Pyromancy a bit less broken but you're right, like half are good and then there's like some decent ones and some meh ones.

@@Never_at_All I agree, although I’ll give credit to ds3 that it had the best pyros at least in my opinion.

DS3 butchered magic.

@@xXLunatikxXlul Not really. Butchered light miracles, but otherwise magic (sorcery+pyromancy) is just fine. Which... can be an issue after DS2, to merely have a "just fine" magic.

@@xXLunatikxXlul ya I expected more spells and they just copied ds1 spells with some new spells and some from ds2

@@nathanjora7627 ya exactly Pyro not too much new just forbidden sun and fire snake But with miracle and dark they were low Exactly like ds1 except dinail maybe

@@mustafaALiraqi-ou5kg Nah they added plenty of stuff that wasn't in DS1, from DS2 (like the flame buff, forbidden sun, crystal hail I guess ? Dark sword, dark and normal soulsword, etc), but also inspired by DS2 (like farron flashsword), or wholly new (like soulstream, the grey mist, blessed weapon, lightning stake and so on), not to mention changing how lightning works to make it more effective at short range which really feels great. Actually dark is probably the category that has seen the most improvements compared to DS1 that haven't been lifted from DS2 or were straight derivations of DS1 or DS2, the deep miracles are almost all pretty good, and most of the dark sorceries are good as well, the only exception being deep soul. Point being : DS3's magic is underrated, even if it's true that it's underwhelming compared to DS1 and that for no good reason some spells have suffered a drastic decrease in quality, like lightning spear

It isn't.

It requires 3! attunment slots, gives you small amount of casts and the damage isn't worth it after all

Also you cannot farm it with ascetics, only ng+

In PC i had 150 casts of it

@@БезНика-ю1с man you don't know what you are talking about, forbidden sun has an insane casting speed and insane damage, about short usage you should know that mages have tons of equipment that increase the number of spell usages

Dlc is just for agony and pain for the wizard :'c

@@stemensoyyo597 I know thats why I was asking

The only dlc I would say is rough for a caster would be eleum loyce. Shulva and brume tower are really good for a hexer aincw things are so weak to dark. Elana the squalid queen is weak to magic ironically. The fume knight is the only one that I can think of that any type of casting is worthless.

I test it long ago but I notice that even miracles whit full light/lightning buff make normal or bad damage, those places always give me heatdaches

@@ladymsoaps Without any new games, you can deal a fair bit of damage to Fume Knoght using hexes. Also crystal weapon is effective against him I actually just beat him in my hex build but somewhat relied on a heide sword for the first half

Venha para o Brasil 😀

It still does, gotta remember it does 2 hits and bosses only show the damage from the last hit

because the B team is trash and Miyazaki is god

Immolation?

@@moonlightdream5483 I mean you could pop a Regen Miracle and some life gems then hug the enemies ass. Probably wouldn't be op but it could work

I believe he's max lvl on new game so it's not as hard

Glitch.

It is not useless.. not sure why Ray would include it. It is used, very much in miracle PvP builds and anywhere water/acid/poison is located - of which, a plethora of levels take advantage of.

@@xXLunatikxXlul it's a lightning firestorm. Also my personal favorite miracle

@@rhysofsneezingdragon1758 Same! It's amazing for roll catching and has super fast casting - casting Heavenly Thunder and WoG is noice

It's the Blue Dagger from the DLCs, and yes it does.

Outcry being a black fire spell also drains stamina Also its arguably the fastest storm variant, very useful in pvp

u can use bonfire aesthetics to bring an area to ng+

Its a frame-perfect moment

wait nvm

Yeah, those are useful in pvp, but in a non meta pvp or against gankers, in meta duels, those spells put you in a pretty bad disadvantage.

I use most of these spells in PvE and PvP - it's about play style and understanding how to utilize a spell to its fullest effect.

@@xXLunatikxXlul as I said, yeah, for specific situations (like ganks/invasions) or in some duels, using some kind of baits are pretty useful, but when you fight ppl who knows how's meta pvp works, they just wait you for cast the spell then QR out for spacing or just in for backstab you, the only viable spell due to his short cast against those ppl is great combustion thanks to his versatility. I'm surprised that most ppl just played the pvp with the basics and never used some advance techs.

@@xXLunatikxXlul I mean, don't misunderstand, there's strong ppl who use only the basic mechanics, the're pretty interesting to fight imo, cause they can rekt you with only baits or just punishing mistakes, but in those cases they just know that using spells is a huge disadvantage against advanced techs.

@@AFCR-u3p Except outcry. That one seems to be designed to bait people to back stab and a pillar will usually spawn right on your back which is hilarious

Same

Same :(

To be fair, 3 did have bigass laser

@@apocolototh1948 Ahh yes, Soul Stream - such a rare spell to see in combat, because of how trash it is.

Installed the convergence mod. Happy as hell

@@iamzedv1914 Some are even good pve spells, like heavenly thunder.

@@Never_at_All That's an amazing PvP spell as well.

Yeah, the question of spells in DS2 isn't really "Are they effective?" but rather "How effective are they?". Especially with the DLC bosses, they resist a massive amount of spell damage, so last time I played through as a caster I wound up switching over to a melee build just because melee is way more effective when dealing with them. The damage you see in this video really doesn't reflect what the average caster is going to have access to in an average playthrough.

@@ManiManiPlays yeah, dlc bosses suck hard for casters, not too long ago I managed to kill Eleana with hexes and it was bad as you could expect

@@Never_at_All Elana is weak to magic ironically. Gank squad is also fair game The rest of the dlc bosses can be dealt with normally using hexes

I agree but he also has a max level character

Max level on new game world lol

This is it
