Love that these rebalnced Calibrations exist. This gsme will end up pretty balanced in the long run I hope.
It says April 8th but I don't know if they are waiting on the 1.03 patch to be rolled out or if they are both coming out today.
Yeah, they should have used this system earlier. They had it in Armored Core and could roll out balance patches quicker instead of waiting for certification.

Nah it works and is important, it's just not the God stat that it used to be.
I literally spent all weekend farming items from these bastards, just to have them weakened later....
-_-
that video is amazing, i need to bookmark this uploader

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
yeah this shit it is ridiculous.
I'm going to make it threw though.
yep, I have summoned or been summoned by people and had to ask myself how did they make it this far?
Hit box on those stomps was BULLSHIT though.

Those changes are completely unnecessary. Come on, From, don't listen to the whiners.
That struck me as unnecessary as well, for the bosses, at least.

If anything I thought that those bosses should have more HP.
Glad to hear that magic and the MLGS is getting tweaked.

Wow, so I guess FROM really wants to discourage the heavy magic users. Crazy list of nerfs there.
I'm happy with the RRA nerf. To make it even better, they should just remove the boss from the game.
But when will DEX weapons receive a buff?

It's pretty OP in PvE though. I killed the Sif Rat with one cast.

If Pyromancy is getting nerfed then that cements my decision to never fight the Darklurker again.

imo they didn't nerf magic enough.
I was hoping they would change some of the heavy weapons swing speeds to be faster and nerf the ancient dragon a bit.
Also I wanted them to extremely lower devotions for some of the covenants.
You can get it that early? But yeah you can destroy some bosses with it even on NG++.

I'm sad that they nerfed corrosive urns. I was starting to have fun with breaking all those washing poles.
Everything else is seems good. Boss- nerfs are weird, but I don't mind them really.
I'm surprised that they didn't touch any of the weapon enchantments/buffs. Even with MLGS nerfed, people with elemental buff- comps will still be really strong.
But at least they're taking steps towards the right direction.

How do people have trouble with this attack. You would have to literally not be looking at Freja to get hit by it. Assuming these nerfs are based on telemetry...jesus.
edit - I do think the Lost Sinner nerf will be really nice in NG+. NG is just whatever. Block and punish. Last Giant nerf is also fine by me. For a first boss I'd reckon he's a great deal tougher than the Asylum Demon in DS1. Throw new Souls players a bone. Pursuer will still fuck 'em up, anyway
Blue Sentinels and Brotherhood of Blood devotion requirements need to be nerfed hard.
Hexes do seem nearly untouched in these patch notes.
Strong, but far from ridiculous as the MLGS was/is. Most weapons don't have enough magic/lightning/dark scaling such that the buffs give large amounts of damage. Perhaps the dark crypt sword?

If you're gonna nerf Freja, do it by taking those other fucking spiders away, for fuck's sake. Split focus boss fights are bullshit.

Its about time FROM got their mage staves out of their ass and realised how much of a hard on they had for magic. Was ridiculously overpowered compared to melee. Elementals do more damage than plain melee and you can buff them with Sunlight blade, or MLGS can be buffed with CMW. GTFO with that shit who thought of that bright idea.
They still need to sort out the hitboxes, elementals and scaling. Nearly everyone uses magic and buffs and why won't they. Quality builds give you less damage than INT/FTH builds when using melee weapons. Funny how a mage can have a greater dmg output on swords than a melee build, oh and they can also do buffs like SB and RB.
Also whose bright idea was it to not only introduce spices that lowered magic requirements but also making them farmable. SMH, people WoG, SB with only 10 FTH. Oh and Resonant flesh that gives you like 400+ health. At least have all of it scale like DkS.

Man hope those boss nerfs arent dramatic. I really don't think the game needs those adjustments but whatevs.

Magic nerfs, boss nerfs. One good thing at least is the nerf hammer slamming down on those mages in SoA.

I, for one, think its absolute bullshit that they are nerfing the Amana mages. That area was the ONLY really difficult area of the entire game, and they fucking nerf it.
For shame, From.
For shame, From.
Those boss nerfs seem really odd, I can't remember them doing anything like that in the previous two games. The only boss that I've fought that I think needs to be balanced is the utter bullshit Ancient Dragon's flying AoE fire attack.
Glad to see some elements of magic getting nerfed. I hope that's only the start of it as I'm absolutely sick of how overpowered it is in both PvP and PvE. I'm not sure why From has such a hard-on for it.

In PVP mage are really strong in the end game but sucks in the early/mid. InPVE, until you get at least a soul spear, mage are not compared to STR/DEX build.
I'm speaking about a pure mage build.
i think the only way to buff quality builds is to buff the DEX scaling. my quality build (40/40) feels so weak even when dual stancing (ultra) greatswords.
on the other hand the need to nerf aevelyn and i hope they will never touch my beloved (dual) caestus.
Aevelyn is so much fun and in serious pvp no one ever beat me with them.

No one has a pure mage build. They all use melee to have any chance in pvp. They only need to invest in the bare minimum stats for STr/DEX, infuse and all of sudden their DMG output will be higher than a melee characters and thats without buffs which they all have.
bascially:
40 STR
40 DEX
is weaker than
40 FTH
40 INT
+ whatever bare stats it needs to be used
infused weapon
the latter build also has spells, items that increase stats like Kings Crown, spices that reduce stat requirements and buffs.
Well done DkS2 team!

They balanced it. Slower swings, no buffing.
