    I need help so I don't get destroyed by this combo.

    Example Scenario: I'm farming chunks at Kiln, an invader invades. First thing he does is cast TWoP, I'm caught in his range, now I'm walking. Suddenly, he casts Pursuers, oh god oh god I'm so screwed. What can I do to counter this?

    My advice would be shut your eyes, tap your red shoes together three times and chant "There's no place like home" repeatedly

    high magic defense &/or high magic defense shield.

    other option is to learn what it looks like when they cast that spell(TWoP) and run for you life till it runs out.

    or if you have the dlc get the silver pendant.... cheers

    This... best just not get caught in it all together. You should see it coming from a mile away. If they are close to you when casting... bs punish.

    Run away until TWoP runs out, it shouldn't take too long.

    If you get caught in it I can't say much but to die with pride. TWoP lasts about ten seconds so the best option in most cases it to stay away from the range which is thankfully shown when it is cast. With pursuers I would say to stay away like the like but if you can risk it you should dodge into them when they are clustered to get rid of them. You should get away with no damage and by the time the invader cast another pursuer, TWoP should be done. Now if you can deal a lot of damage and perhaps break the invader's poise I say charge an heavy attack when the invader is casting TWoP.

    I would:

    -Cast Strong Magic Shield.

    -Hot-swap to elf ears and BDC Ring.

    -Use Power Within if I had it.

    -Cast Dark Bead or Black Flame in their face to freak them out or kill them. Depends on their soul level of course.

    OR

    -Cast Strong Magic Shield on a Darkhand (its practically invisible).

    -Tank the Pursuers.

    -Parry, because you know they'll freak out and spam R1.

    run away, if they go on their knees then run away, it lasts about 30 secs.

    This is what I do, never trust a miracle caster. Especially if they're in Havel's.

    I don't think TWoP last 30 seconds now. But still avoiding it is a good idea to do.

    Great Magic Barrier/Strong Magic Shield/Havel's Shield/Stone Greatshield/Vow of Silence/hope Crest Shield can take it (no idea if it's viable or not, I generally don't get caught in TWoP with my Dex/Pyro).
    I'm still haven't figured out what would work for non Int/Faith/Strength builds, since I almost never block magic.

    If you are already caught in it, then put on a Crest shield and block. If not, then run away until the effect is worn off.

    It will still go off if they're close enough to catch you in TWoP I think. Very helpful against Pursuers in general but not TWoP.

    If you get caught in TWoP and it isn't about to run out, your only real option is to hope they suck. If they suck you can try to parry them, back up against a wall, w/e.

    LOL. Too simple. It will work for new gankers, but the good ones will have CSS too. O will attack you when you do the Silver Pendant.

    what reim said, as soon as they see you do the pendant animation you're most likely gonna take a css to the face.

    If I couldn't get away from the TwoP and was already stuck in it, I tend to just 2h whatever I'm holding and Hope I break their poise before too many spells hit me in the face. Usually since TWoP doesn't last very long you can get away after a single stagger

    There are 4 ways to go about it:

    1) You cast Strong Magic Shield and laugh.
    2) You cast Hidden Body and chuckle.
    3) You cast Great Magic Barrier and laugh.
    4) YOU DIE

    The only thing you'll die from with that is DA WoG. Most people have 18 faith for TWoP and do not go to 28 for WoG.

    However, if they do (not a great chance), then you might...

    5) You died from the ugliest mutha%$#@er in the game. sick

    Not really.

    Either CSS will be cast right as Pursuers tracks, or it will be cast as a reaction to the pendants use.

    Then depending on the lag, you should be able to get a shield up in time to stop some damage from the CSS.

    Silver Pendant doesnt have a long animation time, so it does boil down to what your opponent does.

    But then again if their already casting TwoP and Pursuers then you shouldnt get your hopes up.

    Hidden body. A few points into intelligence is enough to counter douchey pursuer users.
