I would think this probably obvious, but google gave me almost no threads where this was discussed except one, and not conclusively.

His armor is fire resistant and looks like it’s been burned, like the fire hunters set in Bloodborne.

He uses pyromancy and the chaos weapons when you fight him, which have innate fire damage.

He just clearly was meant to be the pyro of the four wizards (Licia, straid, Navlaan and Felkin).

Like why would there be two dark sorcerers and no pyromancer in the group with interchangeable armors that each have an elemental specialty?

Everything points to Felkin being changed to being a hexer despite his original purpose being pyro in development.

Man I swear this game. I beat it ages ago, picking it up again after ten years.

I know for sure last time I wasn’t so unlucky. Double critical into immediate deaths door failure, or DoT on top of crit. In fact crits in general feel super common, on all fronts 🤷🏼‍♂️.

That 67% death blow resist is a lie. I’ve been resisting more like 30% of deaths door checks at most.

I know it’s different because originally I was halfway through the game when crimson court dropped, and color of madness after I had already completed the game, so maybe the under the hood balance is different in addition to the added enemies.

But hot damn, that death blow resist feeling a little nonexistent right now. I haven’t even finished beating level 6 depth champions like Siren and hag yet.

It’s not like I don’t know how to make a good team comp, but the game really does just decide “imma take this guy from you right now, and your healer is gonna be too slow, or stunned, or imposter syndromed, or crimson curse gonna take control of them, or whatever, get rekt.”

I know this has been debated to death. I know that people who twink don’t care, they enjoy the salt, blah blah.

The problem with twinking is the fact that covenant rewards are tied to multiplayer. Full stop.

If the multiplayer rewards were only cosmetic, than sure, have at it bro, be a guy who likes winning against someone with an arm tied behind their back.

You like trolling? Whatever, you’re ugly and nobody likes you, so you get your kicks elsewhere.

But as someone who doesn’t use mods, and just wants to farm up the covenant items fair and square, as intended in game, it’s atrocious.

Over half the matches I find, it’s hard twinkers at SL 30, with endgame gear, taking half the damage I take, deep hp bar, NEVER can get them with a roll catch because all their rolls seamlessly iframe into each other (probably the iframe ring).

If I didn’t need that 30 wolf grass, or shackles, or whatever to get the covenant rewards, I would not care nearly as much, it would be more an annoyance than a legitimate problem.
