  1. So Arctic Blast is best in two cases: Freezing Vortex and Glacial Glare. We know Freezing Vortex is not good, but it can be made to work as you've shown in your past videos. I like it with Slicing Flare on Beo, where you can't get Hunting Blades. Glacial Glare requires another chill-applying boon (core or Snow Burst) to qualify for Arctic Blast, reserving it for runs with lots of Demeter (4+ boons). But then, depending on rarity, Arctic Blast is actually very good. When you play with Slicing Shot/Flare or Crystal Beams you make sure to level them very high, and each pom adds pretty much +1 damage per hit. With more casts used at once the chill stacks very quickly. 10 hits are always required to pop the chill, so depending on rarity you effectively get between +8 damage per hit on common to +11 on heroic rarity. I would not skimp on 8 to 11 poms from one boon.

    Now, if you happen to have Artemis and Poseidon and get Mirage Shot, then this additional damage does not scale down for the secondary crystal beams (not applicable to the bugged Beo since the secondary casts are full damage there). I think heavy Demeter with Artemis and Poseidon, possibly supported by Dionysus or Aphrodite is the best possible Crystal Beam build. Of course it's not top priority, but if you already have Crystal Clarity and Glare, then if Arctic Blast is offered I would most certainly pick it over let's say common Ravenous Will.

    Ah, there's also the case of fast-hitting weapons. I think it's not good enough for Lucifer with only one beam to work with and it's also not good enough for the fists. However, it might be good enough for Chiron bow, adding the same +8 to +11 per hit for the special. Especially if you can get Relentless Volley for the additional 4 arrows.

  2. Hey I caught your DS stream yesterday. Is it going to be all you stream until you finish it? Or are you still going to mix it up?

    Mostly I just want to know when you’re playing Dark Souls so I don’t miss it.
