Fire Knight's Greatsword

[Nihil]

If you use the weapon in the title in pvp, I'm not going to fight you. You're abusing an obvious buggy/broken weapon. The fact that weapons in general are already stronger than spellcasting in pvp is crazy, but this weapon makes it just not fun. That and Backhand Blade.

I haven't messed with it since I'm using an int build, what's so broken about Fire Knight's Greatsword?

I play what I want to play. You choose with who you want to play.

Weapons aren't stronger than spellcasting. Spellcasting just isn't heads and shoulders over weapons. If you're using single hit spells, you're doing it wrong. At the level range the DLC expects you to be by defeating Mohg, only multi-hit spells will output any substantial DPS.

Use the ones that spam tons of rings, bullets, whatever. The more hits, the better.

You get the power of dark souls with the sword, but you have range and speed as a mage, or at least should have

It's a colossus weapon with a true 2 hit combo, homie is just mad he keeps getting punished so hard for misplaying.

It has a true combo with its basic light attacks. It's an ultra greatsword with a giant range and fast attacks.

That's neat, imma just afk or alt-f4 vs anyone who uses this currently broken weapon.

Dodging makes spellcasting worthless. 90% of the time nothing hits when I use the spells you're stating. Spellcasting is only good if it can 1-2 shot you, and only certain spells right now are worth using that actually do that. Im talking about pvp btw, not PvE.

Except most spells dont poise break you or let you poise through attacks and get a free two hit combo like the weapon listed. So... Almost all but maybe 3-4 of the spells added in the dlc are pvp worthy. That is horrible since spellcasting was already pretty much just 3-4 spells beforehand that could be used in pvp, and none of those spells beats being whacked by a sword.

Misplaying? Dude. not my fault there is disjointed hitboxes on everything and the ULTRA GREATSWORD that can attack faster than my spells can come out can true combo me. Looks like someone only has barely played any pvp and doesn't realize how OP a true combo is on an ultra greatsword that can be buffed with an ash of war on top of its natural fire damage.

Except it's not. Since this weapon is obviously bugged. It should not have a true combo at all as an ultra greatsword.

Its light attack is a true combo, allowing to land two hits.

Something thats abnormal in this game, since the general rule is one hit stun, not two.

This wouldve fit in DS3 where it worked that way, but not here, let alone on a colossal weapon.

Then die? If you can't kill people using it, it's on you really. There are 2+ of you and 1 of them.

Dude forgot what colosseum is. I do 1v1's only.

No I mean, the weapon is broken, it's just that half the sh*t in the DLC is broken so at some point who cares.

It's not like it's any worse than dual scavengers/bandits with white mask and raptor's feathers.

"That said, the two most OP weapons introduced in the DLC for life!"

You're what is wrong with pvp in elden ring. Also, you dislike fair fights? Ah yes, you must love invading others and getting cheap shots in order to win. Yeesh, get out of this discussion.

Yeah, I just looked up what made it so broken. That thing is definitely getting nerfed along with swift slash whenever the next patch comes out. You don't just get a true combo from the R1's either, the flame skewer AoW gives you the same thing which allows you to delete anyone just like that.

Whoever that gave it a pass at FS definitely didn't think of testing it for pvp at all.

[Nihil]

Yep, looks like all of the pvp meta losers got their hands on this fact, so I'm done with Elden Ring pvp until it gets fixed, or never if it was intended.
