Anyone agrees that Backhand Blades are 999% OP and provide easiest spam attacks kill?

I don't know if I am just being bad but when I pvp the only weapon I just want to stay afk from the beginning are those dlc blades. ash of war which provides invisibility when charging attack and hard time trying to dodge the attack. very fast attacks in total and if a ping is pretty high it's nearly impossible to do anything against it. I am not talking about switching 5 weapons in 2 seconds to try to trade if you have enough poise. am I the only one who are completely and mostly struggle against that stupid weapon?

As a very constant invader I am 100% in agreement with you. Have no idea how they got past launch in this state.

Yeah, it's gonna get nerf'd I'm sure. Hope the people using it enjoy it while it last.

same reason why dual curved blades is still a thing and pretty much the same as backhanded blades.

They never cared about balancing the game around PvP or Invasion. The only title which did was DS2.

Avoiding them like the plague because I anticipate a hefty nerf in the next month honestly

Hoping for nerfs on those and buffs to perfume bottles (the actual moveset, not the comically stupid AOW)

there is a counter to that attack if you know how, with the STORMCALLER ash of war on a big weapon you can ♥♥♥♥ them up easly they spam their ash of war? you spam STORMCALLER since it have the higher hyper armor on it you out poise and out damage them, easy win
