      This spell used to be busted like hell before they nerfed its damage. I advise people to play the unpatched version and abuse this. You can beat the entire game with it. Lmao

        Sure it's technically the best "Soul Arrow" kind but the problem is because DS2 use Soul Memory and not Soul Level, you will eventually run out of it and need more souls, which in return gonna move up your matchmaking. So if you wanna stay at meta SL150-200 (SM below 3 million), it's not practical.

          In fact it does much more than Dark Hail, even if all beads hit on a large target. Dark hail and really all other staff-cast hexes are inferior in damage to chime hexes. This wiki is filled with incorrect information.

            for a game that uses "souls memory" this type of spell is a *****, DS2 system is so terrible, i cant think thats system passes on realise.

              I really love this Spell! It’s a pity it didn’t cross over into DS3 along with its lesser version. Hexers are NOT an easy build to craft! Aside from needing high attunment, you need to balance the faith and intelligence to have an effective use. When you’re going by a set lvl standard, like 90-150, you have to make a lot of sacrifices as well as farm lots of spice.

              That being said however, Hexers were the glass cannon of the spell casters and being allowed access to both sorcery and miracles, it was easily interchangeable. I’m guessing it was over abused and Fromsoft just up and said, “Nope! No more dark wizards! We will only allow dark orbs and Dead Again!” I really miss Dark Fog also.

                I don't want to spend that much souls, for me I prefer the Resonant soul which cost 100 souls only. This cost 500 souls for 55% one shot. so if the Resonant soul that cost 100 souls is 20% the damage when it was shot 3 times was 60% for 300 souls, much better. just my opinion sorry.
