    Exactly. STR weapons have a bad name because a large number of STR weapon users are always looking for that BS insta-kill.

    If people fought correctly with their STR weapons I'd imagine it'd be less of a problem.

    Haha, welcome to the world of BS.

    Here's a tip. Learn BS. It's ancient, since Demon Souls, but it works.

    Only by understand how to BS. Only you know how to Fish for BS. And only you are able to play the mind game that we play. tongue

    Honestly most player get "setup" for a RBS without even knowing its happening.

    I can't wait for FC big grin My str build is almost there, actually. I stopped working on him, but Viex only has extremely high SL's... so I had to fight her SL 105 with my SL 95. And now he's SL 113 after getting so many souls big grin

    Oh Mind game happens only when 2 person that knows how to fish or PVP properly meet..

    Most have at least 4-6 different approach and counters up their sleeves.. let say the basic one, like do you predict a counter bs, and counter it?

    pvp is basically who backstabs who first, specially in the burg, i rarely see someonee that doesnt go for a backstab when theyre losing or when they know the other player is better, its really boring having to hug the wall most of the time to avoid that.

    Well I tried to use them properly but got roll backstabbed here, roll backstabbed there. There was a fight when the guy roll backstabbed me 3 consecutive times to my death for every swing missed. You know that I almost cried.

    You could try hitting them with a WOG, at least to keep them at bay.

    Although even that's not a silver-bullet solution because you can just roll through a WOG and BS you anyway...

    Just trying to think of some things to help you out a bit. Shrug Shrug

    Meh. I think not dueling in the burg is the solution. I believe I am done trying to PvP there for now... Just too much crap sad

    Idk. I feel like I could be really good there with my G. Halberd. Mayhaps I do need to just use a shield.

    Yeah, the main problem is that when seasoned pvp'er faceoff, is a boring poke game that every strike most be back up with a plan.. however that's also the key that you don't go rushing in blindly when your opponent is really good.

    I get the impression Hahalo BSes a lot. Let's never duel...

    And I agree that fishing for backstabs is hardly a mind game. If anything it's just the opposite since the indicators are so easy to spot.

    Wyrm, ever tried cancelling a wrath and then hitting another one when they attempt to roll through the cancel? That also works.

    You need more information than that.. generally are you making any predictable habits?

    RBS doesn't just happen. Players will have to read your movement and do the RBS based on prediction..

    And did you swing more then twice in a roll? Never swing more then once, because that's also a habit..

    You have to be really fast to cancel a wrath... REALLY fast, but it's just another technique to try if nothing else.

    are you trying to say that a fight where you attack carefully when your opponent lets his guard down is borign compared to gettting ohko with the hornet ring? lol

    Hmm how do I explain this.. when you have 2 fisher face off, and both experienced.. its "boring" in the sense that both are trying to fish, both are extremely cautious, both are dodging off randomly, and not much combat action.. basically drop 1 hit and back off..

    That's what I meant for "boring" as for normal player it would seems like nothing much is happening, but for those 2 players that are pvp'ing it would be extremely tense.

    I see what you meant too. I agree that 1 hit OHKO boring, but at least the game ends fast.

    I see, and I'm I right to say you don't RBS?

    For me, big weapons are normally use for fishing..What you can do is. If you know the opponent is
    fishing. Drop a normal hit just 2 step outside the RBS range, he would
    need to take 1 step forward and roll. Take that time to Roll back and R1
    when his coming in for the BS. You should land a hit on him.. That's one basic maneuver to counter..
    but I think you probably know that.

    For stunlocking, try not to use it if you think your opponent is capable.. Try to drop 1 hit, and roll off. Unless your 100% sure the opponent doesn't RBS or out of stamina. When i started pvp, i love stunlocking.. eventually after countless punishment, it's in my habit to drop1 hit and just back off

    Yes your right, I don't like to do roll bs. I find it so difficult I just avoid practicing it.
