Wave of gold weapon art in arena is broken

[BBirdy]

Its the golden wave that deals 600-1400 dmg, knocks you on your ass and has the laggiest hitbox in the game. Sometimes you dodge it, and get hit like 1.5 seconds afterwards.

So this weapon art is beyond busted in modes with many players. It covers about 75% of the arenas length from one wall to the another.
Just got 24 kills in 5 minutes with really optimized Wave of gold spam build.
Just saw a 6 man free for all where 3 people were just spamming wave of gold :)
This ♥♥♥♥ is only getting started oh god free for all has no hope

Its supposed be be really powerful. Its pretty easy to roll through.

Its only easy when the net code is acting right. For some reason though, the Waves of Piss breaks that quite often. You'll dodge through the wave, but get hit by it 1 second or 2 after. Or sometimes you'll get hit before the wave even gets near you. That is when it becomes broken.

I had a 6 person free for all match with 4 waves of gold users, including 4 waves of gold mimics. It is statistically impossible to roll consistently with 8 different sources, because the likelihood of rolling into another wave of gold is extremely high. They're coming from every freaking direction. An ocean of gold, full of waves.

6 player matches are complete nonsense, but it's amusing currently at least.

Im sure you are a totally resourceful man OP....with a holy infused Haligtree crest greatshield, a Pearldrake talisman +2 (tell me you are doing this with scarseals or elemental scorpions please.....then i can laugh without being cruel) and some holyproof dried liver ready....just in case you know.

Instead coming here to complain (by all means if this helped you to vent frustration , bully for you my bloke! i hope you feel better) learn, adapt and overcome the wave of cringe spam.

What did you think was going to happen? It's just invasions multiplied. The same few weapons, the same few builds, and hordes of twinks.

Now I want a spectator feature.

[Fineous🔥]

Im seriouly considering to give this new feature a serious go. With some high RL friends. Mogh great rune equiped, mimics with different loadouts (if i dont get RL squished you are all dead anyways). One spamming uplifting aromatics and Erdtree heal. Me death magic (picture all the screen full of ancient death rancors) and the third juiced up with iron jar aromatics , dragon cragblade to counter the movement penalty, fingerprint and a bolt of Gransax just in case.

You will all learn the true meaning of grief, pain, bitternes, agony and what a real overpowered scumbag can do to you.

I agree, it's meant to be powerful, it's the weapon you gain defeating the elden best, one can't really expect it to be comparable to standard weapons. And once one learns the correct timing, dodging it it's a joke.

Absolutely true, I couldn't have said it better.

People who keep saying dodging Wave of gold is easy to dodge probably haven't experienced 300ms moon players using it. And you WILL be matched with them in the arena, have no doubt. In every lobby I always get at least 2 out of 6 players from moon.

Oh, but I have, just 40 minutes ago, and I managed to dodge it nonetheless. And no, I'm not a particularly skilled PvPer, I usually only play PvE... You only need to adapt your timings, it will take a few deaths, will surely grate on your nerves, but in the end... IT CAN BE DONE

So your response to a busted system is telling everyone to gear up to counter the busted system so then pvp becomes nothing but people using or countering one specific system in an endless cycle?
Glad I don't waste my time on this game's pvp anymore, sheesh.

Are you aware that THIS wave of cringe is actually slower and easier to dodge than the "original" one?. Hell i can dodge the jellymonster wave as a reflex at this point.
Sure, if you play with that "special" kind of player phasing out like crazy....then i can see it being more interesting. Nevertheless, if everyone and their dog are spaming the wave just be ready. If you can "eat" the beast one with the Halightree shield you can just laugh at the poor sod spamming L1. It costs a LOT of stamina and FP so....attrition warfare! Elden Ring attrition warfare to be more precise......
