Scarlet rot PVP is broken trash, and needs to be nerfed into the ground

[Ulfhedinn]

It literally applies even when you block.
It cant be gotten rid of without WASTING a finite resource used in the PVE side of the game, so its like a free kill; and does INSANE damage to youre health.
Get rid of the application of it in PVP, or make it do almost no damage and be able to be cleansed with a simple spell or put the plants used to make the tabs EVERYWHERE, so we dont have to deal with this crap.
Its broken PVP. I havent run into not one single other build in PVP yet, EVERYONE Is only doing rot build. Its boring. Its broken. Fix it.

All boluses for all altered states can be purchased infinitely, just look for the merchants and spheres for the maidens of the Round Table. There are also talismans you can equip to reduce the effect of poison/sleep/blood-loss/madnes/scarlet rot/curse/frost.

You are welcome, now leave my damn rot be.

Kill your buddies with sticks and stones.

To deal with these people make sure you have a good life and poise, so that the trade does not turn out favorable for them and you can endure more.
And if you want you can summon me to your world and I will give you 99 of all the boluses.

I have a better idea: remove PvP. There, no need to nerf anything!

Correct about the talismans, but not so about all boluses being available for purchase with unlimited supply. Only poison, bleed, frostbite, and sleep boluses can be purchased infinitely from the Twin Maidens.

Ok going to leave the snarkiness aside even considering this is the type of thread i most despite and try to be useful to you OP. First of all i really recomend you to edit your pofile (for my profession i nearly will beg you that).

Back to the game. You didnt faced the ROT MONSTER, Malenia. So your experience with this negative status is pretty limited.
There are 3 ways to rot you in PVP:

1) Your opponent morphs into a dragon sized aberration and starts puking rot. Run or roll...like you do with the dragons

2)Your opponent jumps and becomes a giant rot flower (here is when the Malenia practice shines) flying towards you, getting hyperarmor+ extra poise. Run or roll away.

3) Weapons and pots. You cant shield yourself, lucky you the weapons have a lousy amount of rot build per attack. So avoid them dont try to mitigate.

And thats all, i hope it helps. Whatever you do get 16 (or was 14?) faith, whatever seal you want and get a Flame Cleanse me. It inmediatly removes rot or the build up (also consumables)

You're right, my bad

If you're invading you deserve anything the host uses.
If you're the host you have numbers on your side.
If you're dueling then come prepared.

TBF, Rot is a bit of a problem at lower levels.

Boluses are limited (for some stupid reason) and Rot Breath is pretty damn cheap stat wise, and theres also weapons that apply Rot.

The War Games metastrat.
The only winning move is not to play.

I'd recommend separating weapons and pots into 3) and 4), respectively. Otherwise, yes.

Honestly i consider them pretty much the same, like someone using rot arrows/bolts.

Anyways i hope you read your own thread OP.
