Hornet Ring OP?

[Folbak]

Yes. Another post about the Hornet Ring being OP. People may say "YOU NEED TO LEVEL UP VIGOR U ♥♥♥ XDDD" yeah. About that. 40 vigor, ring of the tiny being, ring of the FAP and prisoners ring, for a total of more or less 1700 HP. At full health, I take more or less, you guessed it, 1700 dmg. Sound like total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t to me seeing as almost every weapon has an attack that can be easly parried. It helps a lot in ganks, I know, but you know what else helps in ganks? Experience.
It may be because I'm wearing the Prisoner's Ring that lowers you defences, but 1700 dmg per hornet repost sounds a little too much, even for wearing the Prisoner's Ring.




Inb4 waiting for the "git gud" comments

[Nerevar]

try it without prisoners ring again and see if still oneshot. people saying git gud are just morons. ignore them. hornet ring will be nerfed anyway soon for sure. or they will nerf riposte dmg in generel. we had the same crap with mudane daggers on dks2 and that was patched aswell a while later. abuse hornet while you can i say personally.

or just use hyper armor weapons and ignore parry fishers with em since most of thier 2handed attack are very hard to parry or not parryable at all.

jumping attack are useless since they are way to slow and telegraphed to punsih the fishers. they also seem to have zero tracking.

well your problem is the prisoners ring makes you take 10% more damage, so git gud would be the correct phrase to use here, but other than that i will admit ripostes do a bit too much dmg with some weapons

[doudou]

the ring is not that OP people abuse it i personaly find it very usefull in gank 1v3 when you parry and use the ring but in duel people should not use it because in this case is cheap otherwise i find it legit ! :3

[Sikkens]

Day after day i find this ring good only in ganks,for duels against unpredictable playstile,other rings seem to work better overall.

10% more damage isn't that much after all, but added to the Hornet Ring effect...

[Alcatraz]

Yup it's op imo. I'm able to oneshot most enemies with a riposte and the ones I can't just survive with a little bit of hp (no I'm not even using BKGA). they should nerf the general critical damage since they already added hornet ring.

[metanoia]

If you got parried you deserve it.

[Sticky White Stuff]

Hornet is fine. If you see parry fishers, do your best to throw them off. Not every build can use weapons that can't be parried, but it is fine as it is.

[Jacopo Beanman]

as long as chugging and ganking are a thing, it should be left as it is.

but on its own, its kinda lol

Hornet Ring in and of itself is not OP. Having stronger crits is fine. However, that doesn't mean it's perfectly balanced. Even if it's not OP with most weapons, the fact that its effect can be manipulated into something capable of one-shotting people is not balanced.
At the moment, Hornet Ring is an issue because it can be exploited far too easily to deal one-shot levels of damage. (Most of you will likely be most familar with this with Yhorm's Great Machete, which kills anyone with a parry in PvP.)
That means either Hornet Ring gives too big a damage increase, or Yhorm's GM is OP, and honestly, I feel like it's a mix of both.
I know people will always find a way to make cheesy one-shot builds, but the fact that this one is so easy to do means the PvP scene is absolutely inundated with people using the exact same one-shot build, which is a problem.

Have people forgotten that every souls game lets you ohko people with riposte unless they are super HP gouged?

[Wubbinz]

You cry baby noobs all over the forums is the only thing that I think is OP.

[Scy]

it's op, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, they r busy abusing it
