Drinking Physic/Mana Flasks isn't honorable

[OatsMealz]

I thought this was simply common sense, but the amount of people I've seen point down after I drink 1 flask just after they pop physic and 3 mana flasks is hilariously high. Just joined a fight club and was about to kill a dude but he used his physic (with a HEAL over time) and after a few seconds I pop a flask and get instantly jumped by the other 2 watching once I do. Biggest eye roll I've ever done in my life, was absolutely stunned by how dumb these kinds of people are.

The difference would be that this rule carried over from Dark Souls, where something like a wondrous physick did not exist.

In the scenario you described you seemed to play among people who unanimously seemed to agree that using the physick seemed to be okay, while healing still was not.
Also a heal over time might be the same to you as healing directly from the flask, but then again, it simply is not the flask and the other player very well might have used it to buff himself.
Replenishing fp is also absolutely not frowned upon in duels/fight clubs.

Imagine having a way to set up PvP lobbies to fight and having player chat. Owait, better recycle lotsa stuff 6-7 times in a row instead.

then go to fight club discord that hosts tournaments allowing only certain spells/ashes/rules. If it's available in game, there will always be some people willing to do anything to win

absence of voice chat in this game is such a downgrade from souls

Tbh, idk if I agree. I say we wait for the DLC that introduces arenas, the arena's 1 v 1 function will decide what is honorable

Get Law of Regression take back the control. Careful though some hosts pre-drink, sit at the grace then summon, to be able to rebuff sometimes. Which is in all honesty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cuz can't do that as a duel summon, oh and can't use rune arc either, oh and the host can banish you through finger severer without being interrupted but you can get knocked out of it. It's almost as if the whole pvp aspect of this game was undercooked, or as one might say... raw.

Nah fp replenishing is not honorable at all. Either put more points in Mind or don't spam your stuff. You have to be a huge prick to put all flasks into FP replenishment and chug them all in a single fight while patting yourself on the back saying "yep didnt heal so it was honorable" I can go ahead right now and spam Stars of Ruin while chugging fp pots and win very easily against anyone provided they never heal.

DS2 had some of the best fight clubs around in the iron keep bridge. No chugging, just a straight up 1 v 1. Ahhh, good times.

[Bricky strong]

Also magic flask, if drink to fill your magic then all bets are off, or I'll drink physics.

[Homeless.]

Any kind of healing is off limits, the rest I don't care about use whatever

People that point down are trying to show you where they want to go.

Haha exactly. Don't think I've ever seen someone who used point down who either wasn't ganking, using something op, or using exploits.

I just tried to explain what the community agreed upon since the Dark Souls series.
Refilling fp never was looked down upon, not even in arena fights were a set amount of ashen estus was allowed.
Depending on the build it might even be necessary to regulary refill. Denying it to other players is almost the same as exluding certain builds from pvp in a way.
