    How much? 50%? 10%?
    This is important because backstabs are an important part of my ganking diet, and i need to know how well the best cure for gankers was scaled back.

    Furthermore, do you think the darkwood grain ring nerf probably brought the Ultra Great Weaponry back into the light of "consider using"? I think that now that most players will stop at 25% weight, it might be easier to make use of the ultra weaponry, due to more reliable stunning.

    Ultra weapons are more viable now yes, because not just that but while swinging a heavy weapon now light attacks won't interrupt it.

    As well while backstabs are nice against gankers, there are still many tricks. Sorcery is still a very powerful tool against gankers.

    In regards to BS damage, I heard it was reduced by 30%.

    if BS have been very harshly harmed, i might consider removing my hornet ring for the Dark Wood Grain Ring. After the nerf, that animation is pretty rare i bet, and the extra i-frames will probably really help with the new hell magic.

    Yeh backstab fishing is still just as effective. Getting two really isn't that different to getting 1.

    Also on the point of ganks, if you're a sorcerer blasting a few chasers would definately thin their numbers.

    Are you referring to hyper armor? That does not exist, I tested it with Ultra Swords Clubs and Axes.

    Hyper armour is on one weapon.

    Spoiler:


    My mind just failed big time, thought the Abyss sword was a Ultra

    But isn't it just for the special R2 attack? I dunno if I would call that Hyper Armor.

    Damnit, the DLC needs to come out so I can stop saying, "I hear this is like that." I want to say, "I tested it, and this is like that!"

    I tested enough stuff to assume that everything anyone says is false unless I see a video of it. I mean it really seemed like every one I heard was just from their dreams or something.

    Also, In my experience on the pc edition backstabbing seems generally the same with the exception of the HR.

    "Hey did you know on the PC version if you hit Reah with a whip three times, she takes her clothes off?"

    I've got to admit, there are some cases where I do like this misinformation coming in.

    About the Hyper Armor i can say one thing for sure : Ultra Greatswords, Curved Greatswords, Greatswords (Claymore, Abbys), Clubs and Great Axe's R2 jumping attack have Hyper armor , tested it with 0 Poise on several mobs that stun people with 0 Poise . I think every Weapons jump attack has hyper armor .

    Im off to test again ^^

    The Abyss Greatsword's 2-handed strong attack have Hyper Armor. But it's so slow and hard to aim at people that it's useless so...

    This is what happened to me when I tried to Jump Attack with a Zweihander. It was ridiculous. Can you actually test if it is hyper armor or just added poise?
