large weapon poke builds, ♥♥♥♥ gets spammed more than RoB post 1.04

lol, to be fair that's because large weapons are ♥♥♥♥ for pvp, so the poking isnt as much of a cheese, that the minimum to be competitive in most cases, it's basically the only fast attack.... Plus it has a really large reach. That and jump attacks.

It isn't just a certain build that annoys me. Its the amount of ash of war and spell spam.. Having a melee fight is hard to come by lol

Any build using Bestial Sling

Nothing really wrong with it, I just hate playing against it because it's the perfect hardcounter to my Dragon Communion caster build. All of my spells are so slow that you can simply cast on reaction and effectively prevent me from ever using any of them*. I basically just don't get to use my build when it's in play, and that's super frustrating imo.

*dragonmaw can HA through it, and the initial burst of Placidusax outspeeds it if you jump, but these are very niche scenarios.

i've lately resorted to trolling all ROB builds with pulley crossbow + burred bolts. Tedious but worth it.

Thats very good a resourceful player instead of crying about Rob finds a solution and if it works even better.

I'd say win rate is about 50/50, just like any other match trying to trade blows or parry with ROB. It's just much, much more satisfying when you do win after kiting for 3 - 5 minutes. That rarely happens though. Most folks rage-quit.

Powerstancing spears and curved swords.

Anything Bleed-focused.

Bloodhound’s Step.

“I cast Stars of Ruin! Then, I cast Stars of Ruin! Then, I cast…”

Colossal Sword Pokespam. Not as difficult to deal with tbh, but it is indeed a huge nuisance.

5 minutes of buffing. After 3, I’m just gonna start swinging.

Fingerprint Shield + Heavy Rapier.

Honorable Mention! Animation Skip exploiters, using the sprinting Catch Flame then Theodrix’s Magma, or the equivalent Sorceries. Extreme dishonor.

Finally, Status Effect crossbows. Triple Trina Bolt is beyond obnoxious.

Dragon Communion is a bit scummy in PvP, since 80% of it is undodgeable mile-long Dragon breaths. I think the palm and bite are cool, though.

Also. Placidusax’s Ruin ISN’T Dragon Communion. It’s a Dragon Cult incantation, and it gets buffed by the Gravel Stone Seal.

Join me, brother. Respec. Grab two Gravel Stone Seals. Zap. Zap. Zap!!

Really? I wouldnt think anyone would hate such a absurdly slow weapon?

Then you haven't seen it used properly.

Nobody really uses it, man. I can see it being problematic at lower levels, maybe, but I sincerely don’t see it being an issue at 40 vigor.

It’s just annoying that there is no warning before it shoots, but that’s all crossbows, which also load faster and can trigger status effects.

tbh RoB is only bad if the gankers use it. 1 on 1 it's pretty useless. you can punish it with pokes or pulley crossbow or even jump attacks

you can counter fingerprint shield with ice spear ash. it goes straight through shield if you are very close to them. I think RKR is also good against it now, but i haven't tried it

It is unreasonable to expect people to carry a weapon with a specific Skill in their pocket just to deal with one otherwise uncounterable armament.

Personally, since I’m a Faith build, I always keep a Cipher Pata in my pocket, since it also pierces shields.

Everything. Everything is OP and sucks. The only true way is naked with a club. Maybe a parry dagger. Everything else is unacceptable.

...There are some things which get more attention because of how commonly used they are. Bleed based builds, and in particular, the corpse Piler ability from Rivers of Blood are very powerful in the right scenarios. There are ways to deal with them. Talking as someone who is currently rocking a hybrid arcane build as well, I think it could do with a PvP tune up

It is really problematic when it's being used by a gank, because the only counter often isn't available, but in a duel I really don't find them that strong. Either you're close enough to land a jumping attack, which should break 99% of people's poise, or you're far enough away that you can sprint out of range.

Placidusax's Ruin is the way more frustrating one to play against IMO because it hits you on like frame 12.

Placidusax is weird. It is actually neither a Communion or Dragon Cult incantation; in fact, it doesn't seem to belong to any specific group of incantations, and thus doesn't recieve the buff from any seal.

I use it because it fills some roles the other stuff can't (finisher and extreme long-range option) + looks awesome.

Don't understand why you hate Colossal greatsword poke
