Should I just restart the game?

Question

I picked sorcerer as my class, since I recently beat bloodborne and thought it could be fun to switch it up. I have gotten through a good chunk of the game, and I am now at the top of sens fortress and ready to drop the game. Don't get me wrong, the game itself has been cool so far but my problem is the sorcerer class in particular. All of the spells essentially look the same and act the same. One of my favourite things about bloodborne was the weapon variety. I like to change things up a lot, and while I have encountered several different weapons and some cool pyromancy abilities, sorcery has been essentially the same for all the damaging spells. It casts the same, looks the same but with different cast times. The problem is that I feel like if I restart I might just lose patience due to how far I got and drop it again.. Any thoughts?

Sen’s Fortess is basically the last big hump in the game for sorcerers. In Sen’s, you can meet >!Big Hat Logan!< who will sell you some exceptional sorceries that allow you to chew through bosses with ease. If you don’t have a good weapon upgrades, the place can be a bit of a slog, but Sen’s is really where the sorcerer class gains the ability to truly just destroy bosses.

I ended up following your advice and it is much better now, thanks. I get bored killing enemies with the same stuff over and over and the new spells make the game more enjoyable thanks for helping

Well you haven't used dark magic yet so I mean you're no where near being over powered or anything all other spells just seem now as good after you get the dark magic

Well the good thing about Dark Souls is that your starting class doesn’t really matter.

There’s no reason you can’t start levelling up Strength and Dexterity and drop sorcery.

You might think that wasted souls on faith, that’s no true though. Faith can be useful for non sorcerer builds.

I definitely wouldn’t restart.

Intelligence for sorceries, mate. Faith for miracles. But. What you say is true otherwise.

Of the lower level spells Great Soul Arrow offers the best combo of power and spell uses over all the rest and should be your bread n butter spell for the entire game. . But for it to start getting interesting you need to rescue a certain person from Sens fortress who will sell you the better stuff. Also the DLC offers some interesting spells, one of which is broken as fuck. Stick with it and keep piling up your Int stat and you're not far from being on the road to nuclear.

Out of curiosity — which spell in the DLC is broken? Despite the fact that I’ve owned Dark Souls since PTDE, I’ve never actually done the DLC. I started a sorcerer a little while ago and I’ve gone through the DLC up through getting to Manus. I probably already picked up the spell without realizing it.

Dark Bead. It's death incarnate at close range. Basically the spell equivalent of a high powered shotgun.

Ahh... I do have that. I’ll have to give it a shot.

Pursuers was also pretty damn good in PvP especially when combined with something like Crystal Soul Spear but you need to kill a specific boss to get that spell.
