Any of you use magic classes? I'd think they'd be pretty difficult.
The first is by far my favourite for several reasons you will probably find out on your own glad you are getting into these games!

Magic classes are actually fairly easy in both games. Especially in Dark Souls 1 the sorcerer class is considered to be one of the easiest classes to start out with, but if you are playing blind without guides (which I would recommend) it is easy to miss out on late-game spells.
I think in DS2 using magic makes a lot of battles much easier, especially when you get multiple spells and good enough stats to have tons of "ammo". I actually have sort of a Red Mage-like character in DS2 that is capable of wielding decent melee weapons in one hand, and have tons of magic in the other.
