Yes indeed. With the new Dark sorceries even PvP is a breeze for sorcerers. But I find sorcery the least fun way to play both in PvE and PvP, as it mostly revolves around auto-lock and homing projectiles. The thrill of being in an up close melee brawl is way more fun and rewarding for me, so I'll stay away from sorcery.

Edit: It's even come to the point where I've stopped summoning people who have sorcery-stuff equipped like the Moonlight Greatsword or Catalysts. Mages tend to ruin the tension of a bossfight.
I can agree with that. I usually play a 2H strength and smack things with a greatsword in most games, felt like a change of pace. I'm gonna pick up a strength/faith character my next time through. The bosses that I was unable to take out with sorceries (Stray Demon, O&S, Capra) definitely stood out as the most memorable fights solely because of the challenge factor.
Oh, you're going to have fun on all the other bosses. Heh, I can't wait to hear your updates on a new character.
Sorceries basically demolish bosses in this game, and I hate summoning people who use it. I like longer intense fights, and bringing a sorcerer along just... kills that intensity.
Strength faith builds are OH so much fun, and are my second favorite types of builds. I go high str, like 16 dex, and as high faith as my build allows. Miracles are a lot more interesting than sorceries as well in my opinion. With force, heal, homeward, and the ability to throw lightning.
