Storm Stomp is stupid.

Im surprised almost nobody talks about this AOW.

This thing basically gives you an absurd amount Hyper Armor, making impossible to interrupt it without really heavy attacks (And i mean HEAVY) and anyone caught in it will get stunned followed by a guarantee hit.

Its just dumb tbh.

Agreed. It is definitely S tier in PVP. There's a reason why every PVP tryhard uses it.

Yup, i guess it got overshadowed by all the more fancy looking BS, but still, this AOW is ridiculous, cause if the user decides to just play passively, theres not much you can do.

You can just turn off your brain and L2-R2 with it, and still win a lot of fights.

IIRC it takes 100 poise to tank through? so you can throw people off sometimes by poising through it and punishing them.

Yeah... poise is an issue as well, it was scaled really poorly.

I saw an invader spam this recently.
It looks dumb too.

Storm stomp's range is tiny, so unless you're trading into it it's easy to space. If they're playing super defensively, weapons with reach such as spears, halberds etc work well. Halberds especially since their two-handed running attack does a lot of poise damage.

[Heimdall313]

It's fun, it's early, it's good, but it's not stupidly broken either. Also useful in weapons that generally have trash AoW selection.
I like Storm Assault and Sword Dance too, though they're more limited. I know I'm an idiot for using a longhaft or crescent axe but Sword Dance catches a lot more than it should lol.

[Seawynn]

Ever heard of "spacing"?

[Shinkiro]

Storm stomp is fine as is, its good but not too strong. Just space it.

Another "Quick, nerf something I died to in PvP" thread.

How about: No, this is something the vast majority of players have no problem with in PvE and so lets not pander to a tiny minority of whining PvPers?

(Though its not as if there's even the tiniest chance From read these forums anyway).

yup, pvpers get mad way too quickly and start these ♥♥♥♥♥♥ threads

the worst part is that they don't realize it's an endless cycle. Even IF fromsoft would listen to all this nonsense people will just move on to the next best thing after the nerfs and the same thing will happen. It's something that's already been proven in other pvp games with constant balance patches and a community that still complains about things even after 10 years.

Another Toxic response from an Anti-PvPer

Also, PvE and PvP are two completely different things, nobody cares if something is broken in PvE, cause thats freaking PvE, its a whole different story when its PvP.

Believe it or not, we want the game to be bloody balanced, not nerfing stuff to the ground, like many of your kind constantly suggest.

The fix to this AOW is really simple, reduce the Hyper Armor frames, since currently they are instantaneous, this makes it possible to interrupt if activated to late, its a simple small nerf that makes it balanced.

Or what? you were expecting "make it so you dont get any hyperamor and its halve its speed!!"?

Seriously... even Rivers of Blood which i hated with passion, that needed to be nerfed, but i didnt wanted for it to be useless, and thank god that ended up not being the case, i tried it myself, and fought it post patch, this thing is still very viable, but now its fair and not just a "i win" button.

Also, i know how to deal with it, like a certain condescending induvial said in this thread, i know Spacing is a thing, doesnt change the fact that the AOW has issues, it was the same with Rivers, people defending it to death cause "muh parry", yeah, it was kinda easy to parry, doesnt excuse what it was capable of doing.
