Spell healing in Duels

Post by Katakato Thu May 10, 2012 8:33 am

We all know that Estus chugging, Humanity and Divine Blessing healing is frowned upon in duels but what about healing with Spells ?

The cast time is long enough to be BS-d, attacked and even cancel the Healing.
Also, it's specific to certain builds so not everyone can heal.

What do you think ?

In my opinion if I'm dumb enough to let them heal they deserve their HP.

In a legit duel you don't heal, at all, unless you've agreed to heal when low so you can extend the fights.

Now that's only in an agreed upon straight up duel, exactly how you want to apply that to other PvP is up to you.

I never heal even if the other guy does but i must admit there were times is healed just because he frustrated me with this cheap BS fishing & massive Estus chugging...i healed up & took his head big grin

big grin

If I'm invaded while doing PvE i won't hesitate to heal. So I guess it depends what you call a duel lol. Just because its 1v1 its not necessarily a duel.

If we both bow, let each other buff that's a duel for me.
If I'm invaded & the invader waits for me to react i have a pretty good idea if he will heal or not.

The method of healing isn't the issue. It's the fact that there's healing at all. If you're standing around at the spawn waiting to be invaded, you're clearly looking for PvP. Everyone has their own guidelines when it comes to multiplayer, but when I'm actively looking for PvP, I don't rip invaders off by healing.

Bowing is all well and good but the best duels always start with a mutual bow and then a couple minutes spent spamming taunts at one another. Then you know its gonna be fun

I'm not the one making the "rules" of dueling but to me it would seem that the longer cast for heals could be a valid reason for them to be allowed. You risk much even attempting to cast Greater Heal in a PvP fight.

It's like trying to re-cast a weapon buff mid fight, you know you are risking a BS or Stun lock attempting it, i never allow re-casts in a duel & no one is going to heal at the beginning a fight silly

silly

Healing is healing, doesn't matter how it's done, you don't do it in a duel...

To those saying "if he has time to miracle heal in a duel he deserves the HP", I disagree. The heal miracle can easily be mistaken for another (TWoP, for example) which you would instinctively want to run away from. Only to find out he cast heal and you should have ran in and punished instead? No...

I would have said: if Magic attacks are allowed, Magic Healing could be tolerated too. But when reading this ^ I understand what dueling is supposed to be and agree that healing in Duels is bad either way !

I like that, I'm gonna make that a policy of of mine. Estus? Peace bro. I generally bc out of 2v1s now. I'm not going to encourage the behavior, even if I can kill them.

If they can get the healing spell off, I don't really get too bothered. I'm more or less okay with whatever is in the game. Ganking bothers me, and healing get's you backstabbed. Just keep that in mind and we get along fine.

However, I am now wondering. What is your thoughts on the spell Replenishment?

^It's pretty weak health regeneration, no? I don't think there's any way to regenerate substantial health in Dark Souls--From wanted to avoid that after Demon's Souls! (Adjudicator Shield +5 & Regenerator's Ring & Faith Weapon +5--am I forgetting anything? You could get ridiculous health regen in DS!)

Anyways, I wouldn't mind Replenishment, if only because they can't use PW at the same time! I hate that spell for PvP...

In PvE, it's completely fine. In PvP, it drains way too little health compared to the damage increase it grants.

I keep fighting people who use DMB and PW. After the fight I message them something like:

It's cool if you're into 2-shotting people, but I'm here looking for duels. If you invade me again, I'd appreciate it if you crystal out and let me fight people who are looking for a good fight.

What about if I'm using it w/o a DMB? I've been using PW on a few of my builds recently, I find it a pretty good way to balance the field vs DMB users.

Gray areas!

It's hard to say. Most people would probably say "go for it" thinking the DMB user is using a OP spell, but I tend to think that if he's got all those points in Fth then they're not in End or Vit, so he's not as OP as he looks. But it's true that if his build is really well planned, or he abuses ring of Fap + DWGR + MoM + GCS, and whatever else, then he can make up those missing points in End and Vit.

Really, it's up to you and your judgment, let's not start splitting hairs! I don't expect anyone to follow the same self-imposed rules I do. (But the fights would be so much more interesting...)

I tend to just cast PW with a Ascended flame, so I think it's all cool.

I have replenishment for one class, doesn't help much in the short run in combat. long run, it an make a different.

healing spells of other sorts I use VERY little, even in PvE. If I duel, I may or may not use replenishment. Probably not.

Although, I have seen times where I was PvPing with an Evil Eye and a Server for one of my characters... if I added replenishment, I could have been a regenerating ****. Of course, that character wasn't very faithful

I'm fine with spell healing. It means they have at least one less slots for WoG.
