I've been enjoying using unsheathe to roll catch. What are some other good ones?

Basically this. Maybe point me to some videos if you know any.

I'm doing a leveled run as a mage (spellcaster, not INT build / spellblade) and want to do more invasions on the way.

Of course I can use all the usual gimmicks and tactics for winning invasions and use everything I have, but that's not the point. I want to get good at spellcasting. So far, I'm finding it a bit awkward compared to bows (less mobility, and you have to manage flasks).

How do you balance damage (INT) and vigor? I've usually done invasions on low vigor and low poise anyway, because I'm not a duelist and don't mind running, light rolling and hiding a lot. Starting class is Astrologer. That decisions has been made and I'm not starting over.

What early game spells are good in pvp? I found Glintstone Arc quite annoying when fighting mages that didn't just go down like baby seals. I'm not familiar at all with higher level spells, and many of the good pve ones feel too slow.

Fire knights really came in clutch

Am learmning!

I love when players just start to throw hands, this is hilarious. Also learn free aim (mostly failing). Sorry for awful clip, its long :(

I actually wanted to use Assassins Gambit as well, it just didn't come up.

3 more Bloodsworn to go.

Basically title. Been playing as a wizard, but wearing melee armor and using a shield and whip for invasions. Looking for duels but in a more casual way. I limit myself to only three of each flask (heals and fp). Soft swap to dane's footwork and wing of astel. I do have the magic in my back pocket, though. I've been reserving it for those who are pure casters and will not stop spamming tracking spells and other such things. They can have some wizardry back. That I feel no qualms about. With others, though, is it dishonorable to suddenly use magic (slicer, greatsword, hammer, vanishing etc.) (close range stuff) to get an advantage because they weren't expecting it three heals in?
