Finally, a dark souls 3 miracle truther, their only problem is that you don't start the game with any damaging miracles, and I wish the lightning spear and variants were better at long ranges, although the ridiculous close range damage is cool

[Gunkboosters]

Little correction for the dark souls 2 section. You do have a miracle boosting ring in the game, that being the sun seal which is the starter rank reward for joinng the heirs of the sun covenant found in earthen peak. Cheers.

DS3 player: Farron Keep sucks. Worst part of the game
Irina: Would anyone like Replenishment and Caressing Tears?
DS3 player: If only there were something that could make this easier
Irina: 2500 total for both, it's a steal!
DS3 player: I guess we'll never know

I miss the days of launch DS2 when Lightning Spear had like 22 casts per slot, instead of the 3 or whatever it has now. Could full clear most levels just by sniping everything.

[BiggusThiccus]

The reason people rage at DS3 miracle builds is that the offensive miracles are all found in the late game. This makes it particularly unviable in PvP, which is where the complaint originates. Since they're spells, unlike weapons and armor, you can't even drop it for your friends during co-op.

[ShroomRPG]

Personally I much prefer MP/FP to limited casts, because its gives you so much more flexibility in how you play a magic build, and the flask tradeoff is a great risk/reward gambit

[arellajardin]

I remember going full Faith in DS3, making the strongest catalyst in the early game a +5, and getting Lightning Spear. And it took 3 casts to kill a gru in the swamp. You shouldn't need to stand point blank range to get the full damage of the long range spell Lightning Spear!

DS2 low casts is helped by all the consumables that refill them. Favorite miracle run.

[Sektorad]

DS3 is a wild pick for first place, there is one good viable miracle offensive spell until the end of the game, it’s the only build that is hard mode until basically ng+ or the very end game, and until then unless you want a harder time than everyone else by far your one option is Lightning Stake, but at least lightning is a great damage type like always and works out eventually. Elden Ring beats it in essentially every way when lightning spells are considered miracles with the majority ranging from acceptable, to good and downright devastating, and with multiple key staples being available extremely early. Still loved the video though!

Personally I think the Mana/FP system that Demon Souls, Ds3 and Elden Ring have over Ds1 and Ds2 is far superior and does wonders for a pure mage/cleric build. Having limited casts always made it feel like magic was meant to be more of a support type rather then a main style of play but with the introduction of ashen flasks in ds3 and ER the viability of magic builds all around has improved massively. You mentioned around 8:01 that you have to sacrifice Healing Flasks for FP flasks which imo is very fair considering that something like Great Heal starts outperforming you regular +12 Heal Pots at higher faith investments - same applying for spells like Erdtree Heal and Lords Heal. While I mostly agree with your ranking I would say that FP feels much better then limited spell casts (to me personally atleast)

I think Elden Ring's Incantations have more quantity and quality than Dark Souls 3, but I also love Dark Souls 3s Miracles, really miss the Dark Sorceries and Miracles. The Deep Soul/Dregs spells, love the Darkmoon Weapon Buff, and Miracles like Deep Protection. I wish they would have kept the Dark Spells in Elden Ring and Kept Pyromancies as a Separate Class. Pyromancer Build and Dark Build were two of my favorite builds in Dark Souls 3, the Intelligence/Faith builds were stupid strong

[cloudbloom]

6:52 I'm gonna be that guy and tell you that the correct term here is "respectively" and not "respectfully"

I'll see myself out

[pockystyx]

Had the most fun with the DkS2 miracle builds. Cleric, Paladin, etc.

*edit* You also forgot to mention the Mace of the Insolent in DkS2; a fantastic catalyst weapon for miracles, and chime hexes as well.

[dogbotgod]

Bro, I just bought dark souls 3. I hope you keep these Rankings coming, cant wait to test out all sorta builds!

[killzonexbattleshak]

Rank Guts GreatSword from each SoulBormes

[griffendesai]

Ds2 has the lightning clutch ring that will boost damage for your lightning based miracles.

[_BBAGG_]

DS2 has 2 rings that boost miracle damage, the Sun Seal and the Lightning Clutch Ring for lightning miracles

[xXLunatikxXlul]

Imo it goes:
5. Demon's Souls
4. Dark Souls 1
3. Dark Souls 3
2. Dark Souls 2
1. Elden Ring

DS2 and Elden Ring have the best versatility and most fun Miracles, imo.

i just hate how in ds3 you have to get 30 sunlight medals just for great lightning spear, and since sunlight spear is from the final boss, you are stuck with the first lightning spear until the end of the game if you dont wanna farm the covenant

[Dracoboss]

As far as PvP goes, Elden ring miracles are fucking devolved. Rock sling, catch flame, erdtree heal, radagon’s rings, honed bolt, and buffs, all on one build. Faith zoners who know what they’re doing are truly the sandpaper dildo of Elden Ring.

[backyarddad]

You can hide from invaders in offline and it effects black phantoms being able to see you. It’s how you can get a beast talisman early. Hidden body, poison mist bp scirvir, hide behind a wall, reap rewards as he stands there until he dies
