So, disabling boss AI apparently makes them "unaware", even if boss fight properly started before. This caused me to do 12 poise damage, even though normally I would do only 10. I am very sorry for misinformation.
I just started using it with my new character like a few days ago and was loving it. Such a bummer. Thank you so much for showing the meters though! Makes the nerf much easier to gauge.
I understand that ranged spammable WA that does good damage and is amazing for breaking stance was nerfed, but I would expect these changes in first weeks after release, not after 9 months, especially since it was well known and used.
I kinda wish they would keep it as it was and also revert BHS nerf, since they implemented separate pvp settings. It was a great way for new or casual players to enjoy the game without forcing an easy mode for veterans or breaking pvp meta.
@@demonhunterfanatic I’m in the same situation. Went all in on Strength without supplementing it with other stats this time and they took away one of the most helpful tools I had. It’s been a pain beating Dragonlord and I can’t even beat Malenia at this point
I feel like the nerf is a little too harsh. Flame of The Redmanes is a pretty niche AoW over all and this nerf basically buried most of the use cases. Not to say it’s “bad” now, I just don’t see a reason to use it over an AoW that would provide more utility like Prayerful Strike or Bloodhound’s Step.
Still melts those Erdtree Avatars even if it is a shadow of it's former self. Also a range option for daggers, and if you like fire or flame art this is like half your arsenal lol.
Look how they massacred my boy. This nerf is too harsh, I would be okay if it was nerfed from 2 to 3 casts to 4 to 5 to poise break, but now it doesn't even make sense to use this ash of war anymore at all, the damage and range is also ridiculous, they could've at least increase the range.
Currently Square Off and Giant Hunt seem like a decent replacement for breaking boss poise. Sadly, Fallingstar Beast Jaw poise damage was nerfed this patch too, so not sure if we have any viable ranged options anymore...
@@Gashi4 Not a fan of Giant Hunt and Square off ain’t much helpful when I’m usually Hammers, Axes, and Colossals. So it seems I’m out of luck there. They’re really trying to discourage staggering
As typical Fromsoft always does (except for Rivers of Blood and Bloodhound's Step, which for some ungodly reason are still broken today), instead of nerfing something, THEY NUKE IT. Now, it's completely useless. Just like Carian Retaliation. 🖕 you Fromsoft, get better at making your games instead of releasing them broken and then breaking them even more.
@@Omega77232 not better than flame of the redmanes was i am just finding out how much the nerfed shit for the PvP trash after taking a few months off. No one plays these games for that garbage. PvP continues to be a bane on this current iteration of this franchise. Wasn't so bad in Dark souls cause the bosses didnt hit like mack trucks, but they got there award now they can ruin the game chasing after the casuals only to find no one will play until they come out with a dlc anyways. PvP will only ever be a niche there is no reason to tune a game with the casuals in mind.
Yea absolutely useless dogshit AoW now. Sad since it wasn't op for pvp. I feel like they should never nerf something for pve. Its not like the game is too easy.
I used ERTool, I added link in description for you. It is amazing practice tool, but be careful with using it, it can get you banned if you don't play offline and with disabled anti-cheat, as it connects to process. I use separate game installation with offline mod for this, but you should be able to launch game without anti cheat just with this tool, but I never tried it.
Oh fromsoft is just doing its job, they want to make sure 80% of weapons and spells are useless in a game designed to play beyond max level. They are very good at this they have decades of experience.
Maybe except colosseums that were completely modelled since release, I don't think there were any unfinished parts. Balance tweaks are not something that you can "finish" before release in game as big as this, players will always find something you couldn't think of. But if they didn't like FotR used for poise damage, they should have nerfed it months ago, like Hoarfrost stomp or SONAF, it is not new discovery.
@@Gashi4 they tweaked this along with wavedash coz these things will be broken in arena and also only the damage are only separately scaled not these kind of things
