Greatsword of Damnation hitbox is broken

[SeeDee]

Anyone else experienced this? Someone hardswapped to this weapon when they were losing and despite rolling perfectly, I got sucked right back into the grab. Its like DS1 backstabs. The hitbox has to be bugged. Tried shadowplaying a clip of it but Elden Ring breaks Nvidia overlay

If I had to guess the grab attack is coded the same way as status procs, so the grab functions as a phantom hit against laggy opponents.

It's been like this since release. Just run, not dodge if you see it

Why you think people just spam ash of war on it? but it's easy to dodge once you get used to it, it's the noob weapon of choice, along with blasphemous blade, eleonora's poleblade and rivers.

Greatsword of Damnation cant be compared to those weapons. You can roll through those and not take damage, but you cant roll the Greatswords grab attack. I saw the guy jump up in the air with it, so I roll just before he starts plunging down, he hits the ground, I turn the other way to run and suddenly get sucked back into the grab

that's just desync, on his screen you were not rolling in iframes so he grabbed you, same with no damage criticals, it's not that weapon is "always grab" it's that you have to adjust your movement based on the lag with the player you are fighting, good indicator is throw a dart at the player you are fighting to see when it hits, sound of hitting and actual damage that's the sync up.

Other weapons with grabs dont seem to suffer from it as much. Inescapable frenzy and lifesteal fist are 2 I can think of that miss quite easily if youre not hugging your opponent. With damnation, it seems like its grab hitbox is just really big, so even on a good connection, you still might get caught in it

easy to dodge. Just roll inside with good timing, same with all weapon.

Its not the same as other weapons though

[SoundsOfNight]

It's a Noob weapon

[Faust Wither]

don't roll, just keep away from it the connection make it worse so there no avoiding it.

[Alex]

agree, this thing is broken

[Nihrahk]

Unfortunately the skill on the weapon has a broken hitbox. It should be a small single point, but instead it's absolutely huge and spread out all over.
