True, some Embers were better than others in DS1, but what's the reasoning behind making Flame scale with Intelligence or Faith? I've never really used Flame before, and with the new scaling implemented, I never will. What's the point? If I'm an Intelligence build, I'll go with Magic, and if I'm a Faith build, I'll go with Lightning. Flame in DS1, as far as I could tell, was generally meant for any build that couldn't go down one of the other routes, and that's been shot down in DS2. Dark is...That's just ridiculous. I've played a Sorcery character, and I was uncomfortable enough having to dump dozens of points into Intelligence and Attunement while leaving all the other essential skills, like health, stamina, and Adaptability, severely low. Dark builds would have to leave those stats even lower to boost up Faith, too? That doesn't sound like a very fun or satisfying build. There's glass cannons, and then there's Heaven or Hell Mode.
