Anonymousthis should have come standard on some early game weapon, why is it so late in the game?

this is a whole site thing but for the love of god, CAN YOU PUT WHAT THE ASH OF WAR DOES BESIDES "it casts the skill" WHAT THE **** DOES THE SKILL DO!? no one needs a copy paste of what an Ash of War is on every AoW. we need to know how it works.

i cant believe the hate on this... it means u can put occult on any weapon as u need ahes of war for that affinty to make use of the whetblades. yes the AoW id rubbish but putting occult on anything is such a plus. i use arcane and rivers of blood but put 3 into str and swapped a few talismans and am now using great stars with stormcaller as a secondary weapon which can be great for heavily armoured targets. also i always like to have secondary weapons just to change it up abit

The only way this could EVER be good in PvP is if it forced enemy players to lock on to it within a radius around it.

I've just picked this up, and haven't been to Ordina yet. Would this work distracting the albinauric rooftop archers in the evergaol?

I wish this worked like Halo: Reach's hologram, so that it'd be (slightly) useful in PVP. At least in large arena battles where people might fall for it.

Some one explain to me why the golden vow ash of war is on a random knight in limgrave and this crap is all the way up in the snowfields?

This was apparently buffed with the patches because now it works on almost all enemies even during combat, you can instantly remove aggro from you.

Use this AoW to lure an enemy hiding around the corner out from cover, also good for running through a crowded room (use the AoW 1st, then charge through). Cheaper than Shadow Bait with the Filigreed Crest, and can net you at least 6 FP if you use the Cerulean Dagger and Spirit's Horn. You can farm backstabs for FP pretty easily with this on a weaker weapon. This AoW also floats mid air, if placed right some enemies will stand right on the ledge.

Heh heh heh..." -Patches

This thing would be much more useful if it does damage to enemies attracted by it or if after a number of hits it explodes or does some sort of splash damage

This isn't worth going to the trouble of getting it. Shadow bait is available earlier, though not much earlier and it actually does what you'd want it to. You can aim for a spot and if there are enemies nearby it will draw them to attack it. But even shadow bait is of questionable use by the time you get it from the shunning grounds, this AoW is just as redundant. Both would have been of more value early on when even enemies like the godrick's knight at gatefront could kill you alarmingly quickly.

man i wish this worked as an invader, being able to lead around enemies would be a really good way to even the odds against nasty ganks

Couldn't find a way to get it without hurting the puppers, not gonna kill the good bois for a aow I will probably never use

Has a really weird interaction with black flame blade incantation. Every enemy near it will be engulfed in flames as if they got hit, similar to the fires deadly sin exploit.

I really wish this caused pvp lock ons to randomly and periodically switch to the lure, just for a short period of time. Force the opponent to go locked off

Absolutely useless AoW, even in PvE. So, instead of just sneaking up behind an enemy, or attacking from a distance, you’re gonna waste FP and your AoW slot for a… lure?
- Anonymous
this activates after effects like bloodflame blade bleed over time or blackflame blade damage over time

I feel like maybe this was going to copy your characters gear to bait people in pvp but was really lame just standing there. Instead of doing more work to make it believable someone said lets just make this a summon. So that person got a raise, we got mimic tear, and this ash gets to be useless

Does not work as an invader, would've been interesting tho...

I cant see the footprints of the scarab, any1 else experiencing this?
The wolves were too cute to kill, so I got the beast repellant torch just so I could get this w/o killing them

This should make players lock on to it when cast in PVP. Good counter to distance spammers.
Ash of War version of Shadow Bait Incantation.

Only useful vs AI but quite useful anuways. It makes a decoy mist that will aggro ennemies a distance from you, another way to stealth

Dropped by one of the invisible guys that leave sparkling footprints in the Consecrated Snowfield, roughly north-by-northwest of the Inner Consecrated Snowfield site of grace. Pretty easy to spot - there's a pack of wolves that chase it around
Actually pretty useful now for immediately diverting enemy attention away from you for a few seconds. Doesn't de-aggro enemies like Darkness but instead just forces most mobs to attack the mist. Very similar to Alluring Skulls from the Souls' Games. Downside is not all enemies are affected and you can only place the lure a short distance in front of you. Great against Omen, Knights, Humans but notably doesn't work on Trolls. Unsure on Demi Humans
