Poise is now more effective for heavier weapons and armor.

Adjusted poise values across the board.

(Be sure to wield Blue flame in the right hand, as the Power stance overrides the Sorcery casting.

If looking for a dual wield build with sorceries Blue Flame is an excellent choice.

(Be sure to wield Blue flame in the right hand, as the Power stance overrides the Sorcery casting.)

Using the 'poison' infusion changes magic scaling to B, but it gives less bonuses than the 'magic infusion' C scaling, but more than normal.

Using the 'magic' infusion will increase INT scaling significantly while remaining C and reduce the rest, otherwise it will behave like other items, magic dmg goes up and phys goes down.

Using the 'enchanted' infusion on this sword will not change its damage at all, it will however reduce the dmg scalings to: E, E, D.

This is the only known way to power-stance whilst also able to cast sorceries. The regular right hand Strong Attack will remain able to cast spells.

When Blue Flames are powerstanced, the left handed strong attack will function as it would with regular straight swords.

This is the only known way to have two weapons buffed with the same sorcery at the same time.

A player dual-wielding Blue Flames can use one Blue Flame to buff the other, and vice versa.

Buffing the Blue Flame will increase the effectiveness of spells cast with it.

Unlike catalysts, Blue Flame can be buffed.

It however cannot cast staff Hexes, only sorceries.

Its Strong Attack will cast sorceries, making it a versatile option for Int builds.

I see a lot of whining about 'From making the game easier' but bringing a bow and cheesing every sorcerer from range is not exactly 'difficulty'.

I really don't agree with the boss changes but this one made Shrine of Amana more fun. Fighting 3 of them at once is not pretty, hahaha. I don't know if this is placebo or not, but the first group of knights always aggroed as a group, I wasn't able to pull them one by one. The melee Archdrakes are still OP as hell (and I like them this way). My problem wasn't that the spells were hard to dodge, it was that they shot from max draw distance. I wish they had changed the aggro range instead of the homing capability, though. They're much more manageable now, I like the change. They still home in, you can avoid them by zig zagging, but they're not linear projectiles. First, I saw a video where the Amana priestesses shot spells that didn't home in at all. I just did Shrine of Amana in NG+ (post-patch of course) and I noticed some things.
