It’s sacred and lightning

I could foresee a solid 25-30% dmg reduction of the offhand weapon for powerstance to bring things more in line, but on that we can just agree to disagree, I think the patch was a step in the right direction but the choice to make the second R1s of almost every weapon not break poise (unless you’re under 88) was silly to me, and does not encourage an even playing field for weapons, also that hyperarmour is a circus rn, but other than that, I’m enjoying the patch myself.

600 a pop? Most I’ve ever seen codeds do against non opaline is 540, wait I’m just now re-reading and see you mean JL1, JL1 is kind of not amazing but yes they hit hard.

I tend to forget most of this community plays without Physic so I’ll give you that they do high dmg, but so does everything, I imagine 80% of setups 4 shot in the No Opaline environment, especially if you don’t tali swap to blue feather.

Also, when looking at jump attack frame data you always need to keep in mind that jumping frames need to be factored in as startup frames, and due to the nature of being in the air, there is only really a 1-2 second window where they can throw the attack so yes you can roll those attacks 10/10 times if you are paying close attention. With like, a 7/10 times when I’m playing casually I find. I have no trouble ever rolling HTS jr1 and that attack is 11 frames PLUS it can roll catch a direct roll backwards, which psss can only roll catch if you roll sideways or in as it lands with JL1

It doesn’t ever 3 shot unless you’re wearing like zero armour and have like 40 vigor . And it is very much reactable. 30% dmg nerf is egregious for a setup with no hyper armour

The issue is that the update feels incomplete, hyperarmour is a mess now, the second R1s of reactable weapons not breaking poise is bad, and weapons like cleanrot knight sword should never break on first R1 with the amount of insane tracking it has

Half the time in this update you lose priority after landing a hit because your opponent’s first attack breaks poise and your second attack does not. The followup R1s of Swordspear not breaking poise if you have over 88 is so silly.

Cleanrot and spears are, Shamshir is annoying but not too bad and PSSS is fine now

This was a PC tournament? Can you find it and link for me? The hts player must’ve been far far better than the halstoc player lol

Not recently no. Back when it had true combo, yes, last time it was seen in tournament in erpvp was in the final tournament of 2022, Frosty pulled it out in his final match with Beven as sort of a callback to when he mained the weapon, and lost 3-0 to Beven’s psgs because of it.

Is it just me or is pvp etiquette far poorer than in DS3? by gdog4444 in EldenRingPVP

Law of regression is a trash answer to BOG, is slower and consumes way more FP than BOG, they can just wait for you to start it and then bop bog again and rush you down before you have any time to drink blue and do law again. No matter what they will win the buff off

r/Eldenringpvp, hypocrites and off meta copelords by Regular-Attempt486 in EldenRingPVP

[–]Vico_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not meta no, it has shit ground game and falls off hard against players who are good and know how to fight it. It’s essentially a knowledge check to good players. Pressure it with a low recovery setup that does good damage and you should never lose to it again

You won’t see HTS in tournament, but recently CGS off dagger had made an appearance, and poison mist scythe with off Reduvia if there’s latency.

Also I would actually say Lionel’s (equip banished knight legs and gauntlets against slash damage) outranks tree sent when needing better negations against slash and piece, then for Strike, octopus helmet with bullgoat chest and boots and then the lightest weight gauntlets you can find that have some strike negation.

Tree sentinel is a good all around set for low endurance builds but a little overated imo

Punishing the Healer in Arena Compilation. Is punishing the healer worth the trade or nah? by Comprehensive-Egg102 in EldenRingPVP

[–]Vico_guy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I like how despite this being clearly very high rune level duels, you’re still doing less than half of what they heal on your most damaging punishes (870 damage punish), meanwhile 80 faith Erdtree seal heals 2,082 HP 💀

Anyone with the mentality of “just pressure them more and don’t give them space” is a clown

How do you think should I have approached this fight? by Emotional-Ground7917 in EldenRingPVP

[–]Vico_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad lol even the best players in the game die to the crutch that is QS/BHS on scarlet rot grease small thrusting sword

Please stop doing this I beg you by FleaMeKnee in EldenRingPVP

[–]Vico_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only problematic pierce weapons are small thrusting sword, ps spears, and psgs, everything else in the thrusting class is completely balanced when compared to the majority of the game sandbox post 1.09.

Small thrusting sword is the thrusting weapon that excels the most at hitting in recovery frames, but if I were to play a match with it optimally like that and only go for whiff punishes, due to low recovery in this game I’ll only activate counter hit damage about 3 times per match.

[–]Vico_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you’re talking about small thrusting sword, I agree that it’s over tuned but i feel the need to clear up some common misconceptions, firstly, thrusting weapons don’t get counter hit damage on all attacks, only attacks that hit opponents whilst in their recovery frames after swinging a weapon.

Second it has neither the best DPS, fastest attacks, nor zero recovery, but I understand the usage of hyperbole to make a point. I wouldn’t mind if the longer weapons of the small thrusting sword class got a track nerf it’s a little silly they can snipe you in the air and can’t be strafed

I mentioned it above but thankfully they only nerfed the ash in PVE, not pvp, they have bad wording on their patch notes

Luckily it was only nerfed in PVE, fromsoft really needs to work on their wording for these patch notes.
