So far, my experiences with Dark Souls have formed a roller-coaster of sorts, in terms of me liking and downright hating the game. I've been beaten, burned, slashed, and thrown off more cliffs than I can count, and it's a wonder there's not a PS3 controller shaped hole in my TV or wall by now.
One thing is for certain about my experience so far though, and that is that sorcerers at the very least are rigged. I went from banging my head against the wall that is Great Grey Wolf Sif, to simply back-peddling and casting soul arrows to victory. As a matter of fact, that's pretty much the strategy for everything in this game. Hold your shield up, let it miss or clang off said shield, then cast a soul arrow and laugh because the monster is now the one in a horribly frustrating situation where the only outcome is imminent death.
List of bosses/mini-bosses that have fallen to my soul arrows and their variations: Asylum Demon, Taurus Demon, Capra Demon, Bellfry Gargoyles, Pinwheel, Gaping Dragon, Moonlight Butterfly, Great Grey Wolf Sif, Black Knight(s), Armored Tusk, Titanite Demon(s), Havel the Rock, The Butcher, Giant Undead Rat, Hellkite Dragon, Zombie Dragon, Golden Crystal Golem.
That list comprises pretty much every boss I've beaten thus far other than the Hydra. I mean, it makes sense that a build's main tools should also be taking down the heavy hitters, but the ease at which it occurs, and the common strategy for all of them concerns me. Perhaps I've just become too adept at playing chicken with bosses...
On a side note, I got my "Enchanted" weapons last night, and now I'm a wrecking crew with a sword/bow and arrow too. Tremble mortals, and despair! 600 damage backstabs with 10 str 10 dex? Yes please!
