They need to literally cut damage in half to ALL ashes of war

[Deviant]

The entire pvp meta is just getting 1 shot you get hit once you die there is no skill involved i have gotten countless times 1 shoted literally 1 shoted full 1500 hp while i got 50 physical absorbation and 40 all magical dmg absorbation HOW? ashes of war deal too much damage theres no fun at all either literally cut all damage done in half or give more hp this is just stupid af

Forgot to add that meanwhile i cast some spell doing 500 damage when they cast ashes of war doing 1500 damage and they casted it faster than my 500 damage spell like how is this okay?

Weapon arts do more damage than the highest level spells. Who thought this was a good idea?

[mastayoda420]

Sounds like you should be using that 1500 ash of war, eh?

[Red Phantom]

If they halved the ashes of war damage then it would just be doing regular damage. That being said, ashes of war do about double regular weapon damage which is pretty high.

Ashes of war do to much damage for how fast some of them are. Like Radahns great sword art is a 2 parter that takes forever and there are some arts that do more damage than it in a 10th of the time.

In general pvp is either too little damage with normal attacks or do damage heavy with arts.

have you tried not getting hit when they use ashes of war? i mean that's the obvious solution here, just dodge roll

[Dan_The_Noob]

game is not really set up for PvP, would recommend DS2 or DS3 if you want PvP (once servers are fixed up)

There's a bug involving a the way a particular spell and status effects interact, it stacks up in seconds even at max resistance. I would guess that's actually what's killing you. I wouldn't try to PvP competitively until it's fixed.

And do what then punish them with a weak attack and play a game of poking for 10 minutes?

even my strongest spell in my arsenal with 60 faith does less damage then those op ashes of war and i require to cast it 3-4 times longer than their ashes of war idk what from software thought giving them more damage than spells then whats the point from spells in the game to begin with

[Sabaithal]

The whole point of ashes of war is that it does more damage than standard attacks, at the cost of FP.

I'm gonna have to go against this one, I'd rather not have ♥♥♥♥ in my game get nerfed just because people are, again, complaining about PvP being unbalanced (and in other news water occasionally falls out of the sky in most places on this big rock).

Simply an issue of skill
