Perseverance.

[Twig]

So are we just going to pretend this isn't the best weapon art in the game? How long can we keep this charade up?

Just won 12 fights in a row thanks to the great mace and it's absurdly good damage and move set. Things a beast. The weapon art though... my lord. It's insane! Poise is alive and well for moi

when i used BKS it was rather amazing. i liked that the description is different for perseverance on that sword compared to the other mace/GS/maybe UGS/Axes. like pledging yourself to the dead gods you still believe in

perserseverance is good and you can use it agaist everyone if timed right,however one can minimize its effect by not standing point blank and attacking once. People tend to charge and mash and when you time your perseverance you can pretty much force full swing hyper armor while they think you will get interupted during the start of your swing. Id say people arent used to it rather than it being OP. There are ways around it but most tend to play the same way as the people trying to parry 2hand Yhorms 3 times in a row.

Dude, I said "Keep it that way" as in "don't spread our secret". Let them think it's useless.

I love perseverance, use it all the time ;)

hah i agree with you,problem is,even if you know how to fight it,you can still time it right. But yea,as you said people really seem to think its useless. Outtrading UGS with regular mace feels good.

it is very effective , but most of the ppl who use perseverance tend to turtle and only react on your attacks, playing very passive. I find that rather boring

using it when the attack is already coming and is surely to hit you is where it is,but yea,most just spam it and i sit here like "wtf"...then some guy comes and uses it right as i attack ,then im like "lets go".

It's a good thing caestus also has this weapon art. I don't even know why people only use it in offhand...

You can still 2 hand it in offhand, get the effect and then mash your way to glory with a danksword.

Hands down overpowered. Red Hilted Halberd, BKS, and MAce ftw. I love being able to trade positively. Though it kind of makes heavy armor completely pointless.

It's overrated because half the weapons that use it already have hyper armour, and I have no problem catching R1 mashing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with hyper armour trades. For the weapons that don't have hyper armour, I would rather catch them with a setup parry, because people who mash R1 3+ times in a row are a gauranteed parry with the right off-hand, assuming latency isn't a problem.

Experienced pvp players from previous games learned to never hit more than 2 times in a row, unless you're going to delay your attacks. Players who delay their attacks will not be caught out by your temporary poise which only lasts 1.5(?) seconds.

It does catch brainless R1 spammers I'm not trying to say that it doesn't work, but there are much more effective methods already available that are not restricted to a specific pool of weapons.
