Also, (sorry I'm new to DS) to clarify how damage works, because I'm trying to determine upgrades, if I hit a target with say Fire longsword, are both classes of damage applied (the physical and fire)? But, if I'm realizing this correctly, when I use my staff to cast a spell, ONLY the damage modifier pertaining to that class of damage is applied to my spell? So, the Black Witche's staff doesn't actually hit for 440 base dmg, only 110 from wichever class of damage I'm using, such as magic for soul spear? And that means the dark damage on my sorcerer's staff is useless unless I'm casting Hexes? Hah. If thats true, then hell.

Also, people seem to forget about casting speed when choosing upgrades. You'd have to upgrade a staff fully for most to outdo the starting staff. And the "best" staves have much lower cast speeds too. The Amana is 100 cs! It looked awesome til I saw that.

Anyway, I appreciate any help.

Thank you
