Blind spot are not op like swift slash.

With greatsword, it's ez. Just delock and hit behind you when he AoW.
If you can't do that, stop play PvP.
you play a greatsword, you have hyper armor for hit. And if you have 88/89 poise on your armor, it's double ez.

Midra, swift slash, piercing fang, braggart's roar, storm assault, giant hunt etc are many broken AoW if you know how to roll catch.

Blind Spot is amazing, and perhaps a bit OP, in PvE :D

"How do you even counter?"

Adopt effective counter measures?

"Don't wanna! Don't wanna change anything about my play style to adapt to different challenges or techniques! My single tactic should work for everything!"

And there it is.

You counter them by using your Greatswords's standard R1. That's all there is to it. Try to anticipate what direction your BHK user tries to stab you from and trade into them, then try roll catching. Most will eventually panic and succumb.

Then again, there is also Raptor of the Mists.

Yeah reactionary playstyles suck but if you want to get the hang of it you eventually need to observe what you're dealing with first.

Thats crazy, i dont remember any dark souls game having something so BUSTED, being forced to use an ash of war to counter another one sounds dumb, i think i will just try to use godslayer greatsword the sings are super fast and R1 might work

Your love for Greatswords does not stop you from having a lighter weapon in your pocket, specifically to deal with situations where Greatswords are too slow to do any meaningful damage/counter aggressive players.

You're being given suggestions that don't require you to swap out your preferred weapon, and you're discounting them out of hand because "dun wanna."

I'm not going to try to turn your question around on you; there'd be no point.

How do you mirror them with a greatsword you cant use that ash of war on colossal weapons

[Madao]

OP, you were told how to deal with this by two different people. if your reading comprehension is so lacking, that you end up asking a third unrelated person, then I suggest playing offline. you do not seem to have the mental capacity required to adapt.
