How good is it? I know it reduces magic damage by 90%, but i've heard from people that it makes the four kings a piece of cake because it (allegedly) reduces the damage from their blades as well. Does it? If so, it'll be make a better alternative to iron flesh. If not, should i fight at range? Because that would need a decent intelligence AND faith...

Re: Great magic barrier
It is glorious, better than iron flesh imho because you keep full mobility and can strafe faster. It also nerfs Seath, among others.

Re: Great magic barrier
Sounds good except... does it reduce physical damage as well? Or is it just magic damage?

Re: Great magic barrier
if a weapon or attack dose extra magic damage like astoras or moonlight gs that will also be blocked by 90% the spell itself is amazing and a grate way to troll cristal cannons and mlgs users....i think if u combine it with one of the slumbering dragon ring its affect will last 2x longer

Re: Great magic barrier
You didn't answer my question about whether or not it blocks physical damage... anyway, who cares about pvp? Invaders are almost all lagstabbing trolls anyway.

Re: Great magic barrier
Sorry, i didn't intend to come across as a ****, its just given my past experiences with invaders... well, i won't go there, ok? I was just wanted a straight answer to my question. Anyway, so if i were to use GMB against the four kings, i would have to keep my distance to avoid their blades, and tank their magic attacks? If so, then i'm screwed because i can't use sorceries much.

Re: Great magic barrier
Its great against 4 kings since it reduces their grab damage, their stupid forever chasing undodgable purple ****, and their area nuke. Dodging their melee attacks is a joke and they dont hit hard anyway.

Re: Great magic barrier
Why not try the spell & let yourself take physical damage. When I wanted to no how good Karmic Justice was I simply invaded someone used it & let them strike me. Just to save you the effort KJ sucks.

I've heard that they are easy to dodge, but i am absolutely horrendous at dodging, the one time i tried killing them by dodging i still got hit every single time. Besides, on ng++++ their melee attacks still do about 600 damage with iron flesh and full giants, so without them (to dodge effectively) its 1 hit and i'm dead.
