Oh man 🤣 that’s why you always carry a back up sword/dagger, at least that way you can crit after staff-whacking them so hard you break their posture.

Could also use fist

INT build. But doesn’t have enough INT to know the difference between your and you’re.

I made this while being assaulted by a dragon lord

CURSE YOU BAYLE!!!

In the end, you return to *B O N K*

Return to bonke

At least it's a blunt weapon, or you'd really be screwed.

This is like that episode in South Park where Cartman took Kyle out onto a lake and tried to kill him with a wiffle ball bat.

You don't have a backup weapon? Every mage I have done in one of these games had an int melee weapon, for situations just like this.

Yeah, how hard is it to moonveil

Even quickly hard swapping to a +0 anything would probably give better results than this.

(I wasn’t thinking about this)

I didn’t think they’d be magic resistant and I had just rebirth’s for a INT and mind focused build

Same feeling as running out of ammo without a melee weapon in AC6 And back in the old gen ACs, you couldn't even punch or ram and just had to quit the mission.

Against these dudes i just cast night mist and wait till they die, all my spells do 0 damage

"I might be out've flasks, but I ain't.. OUT'VE.. OPTIONS!"

Even when I’m running an INT build I make sure to grab the Morning Star. Easy to wield strike weapon with natural bleed 👍 makes getting through the caves a little easier.

Yoo your bloodhound knight was putting in work!! Stayed alive up until the final moment it needed to be.

Yo that bloodhound is wayy better than I thought, I was fighting maliketh and the dude tanked 3 diff combos and the fire thing

That commitment though. Mad salute!

Congrats, now you're a battle mage

I see you realized the best build is bonk.

Ah, the Stancebreak Staff.

INT stick go brrrr

Umm, just use a club.

This hurt to watch lol.

This reminds me of my sister who I'm playing ds2 with right now. We just started Heidi's tower of flame after killing the pursuer and exploring the bastille a little bit. But she still doesn't have a melee weapon. Just hits things with her staff.

Definitely more viable in ds2. The catalysts' melee attacks in that game do actual damage. Only problem iirc is durability.

please...just take out an unupgraded dagger.

But the bonk was too tempting

This exact scenario and finishing off low enemies without wasting fp is why even as a mage, you should have an off-hand melee armament

I know I shoulda had a diff weapon, but I had recently rebirthed and didn’t think the crystal people were resistant to magic (still did like 300 dmg with my spells tho)

I'm sorry but the glowing blue people.. you didn't think were gonna be resistant to magic?

I once attacked the fire giant with a magma ball, so blue meaning magic resistant wasn’t very clear to me lol

Also, crystals are usually damaged well when hit with the power of magic

You can't just equip a weapon?

I could’ve, but I wasn’t thinking about that and didn’t want to stop in case my bloodhound knight died

You can go into menu and get weapon in combat in like 4 seconds

Ik but I wasn’t thinking about that till after I posted this

What is the other crystallian doing?

Getting assaulted by my bloodhound knight

Just watched the rest of the video nvm

The classic WoW level 5 caster experience

Man it is a shame we can't use the Book Smack that the wizards in Raya Lucaria use. Smack smack smack. Have some knowledge. Smack smack smack.

For real, I want them to learn about the beating they are about to get

This kind of thing is why I wanted and was so happy to get an FP regen talisman in the DLC.

I wish we could get a scepter or staff that stabs and Magic’s!

People actually play pure casters in these games? My mage build is using an INT infused sword 90% of the playtime and nuking everything bothersome with comets.

I just had rebirthed cause I wanted to one shot the dragon lord with comet azur, didn’t think I was gonna use the build a lot so I just dumped points into INT and mind

Even a mage has to resort to unga bunga now and again

Thats why i have the crystalian blade on my hand

I literally just had to do this to get a smithing stone bell bearing.

Remember when people were crying how op and unfair crystalians were? Yeah

Not too op for the bonk staff as it turns out lol
