Am I the one who doesn't understand, or is this "ash of war" pure rubbish?

It can be used to cheese the godskin duo.

It literally lets you run around enemies undetected. No more need to crouch.

No, that's not true, it doesn't work.
If I approach from the front I am still spotted, approaching from behind by ducking requires no effort, so this "ash of war" becomes totally superfluous and useless.

Combine it with unseen body sorcery and people can't lock on to you in pvp.

This AoW is very useful at certain places. Example: Haligtree Canopy. You can run past all enemies whit it. I use it there anytime.

I'm going to try this, very soon.

In gamey terms, Assassin's Approach makes it so you emit no noise while walking, sprinting, and jumping around; thus, enemies cannot detect you at all if they can't see you and you aren't attacking.

You'll still need to make sure you remain out of your target's direct cone of vision, but you can get away with movements that would otherwise be quite risky.

However, since you specified this was an Ash of War, I think you might be instead talking about Assassin's Gambit. This Ash is quite useful as not only does it muffle your footsteps like Assassin's Approach, but it also makes you partially invisible.
This makes it so the cone of vision that enemies have to see you with is much shorter than it otherwise would.

No, it doesn't work. Every stupid envoy still see me from afar and start shooting.
This AoW is garbage.

I also use it there. Especially the part when you run down the tree and big fat snowman uses his bubble cannon to one shot you.
A small dagger with this ash solves the problem. You can speed run the whole area thanks to this ash.

From 1:43 (ng+7 made easy)
