AnonymousDecent for throwing people off ledges, but overall damage is crap and the skill is quite telegraphed and slow.

After 1.10, the hyper armor on this feels like it wasn’t properly buffed. Everything stuns you out of it. Not only that, it does little to no damage on a Strength weapon with an offhand Highland Axe, Roar Medallion, and Shard of Alexander. All these buffs, and the most amount of damage you’ll get is 700 on an opponent with standard/medium armor. This AoW is in dire need of a speed and/or power buff to be balanced.

The existence of Earthshaker alone renders this skill useless. Comes out waaay too slow, not enough hyperarmor to not get staggered out of it and the follow-up is next to useless since you’ll almost never land it.

I really expect that the followup has a big ass AOE like the first part, but it just *thud*

I understand why the first part of the attack is slow, since it can hurt like hell and has a large radius, but the followup is so damn useless

It's not a "big rock" It's an actual skull. The skull alone is bigger than frozen giant.

wish it still went well wit not heavy infused, but if you want the roar to do damage you gotta go heavy. follow up whatever you want.

Follow R2 heavy does not consume FP. However, depleting your FP after the roar will decrease the follow-up's effectiveness. Damage, stance, etc.

The same hill you get this at has an ancient smithing stone in the skull's mouth

Are you tired of the subterranean shunnin-grounds?
Are you sick of those mean old imprisoned fellas who decided that they wanted to kill you for something as small as trespassing?
Do you HATE the naked variety?
This just in! Omen-B-Gone!

I wouldn't blame you if you thought that this had a long range component considering trolls have a projectile roar and the description makes it sound like this is a projectile and not an AoE. If From were to reclarify any descriptions, this should definitely be the next one.

The follow up strong attack does not require FP, and the dmg of that follow-up changes depending on your AR: With Heavy golem Halberd it was 1987; with Heavy Giant crusher it was 2140. Poise dmg overall is still the same; The staring roar and follow-up is enough to stance-break a troll (tested on the one outside third church of Marika)

It doesn't seem to be able to be put on axes, but it can be put on greataxes.

Heavy Executioner Greataxe. Highland Axe off-hand. Roar talisman, Dagger Talisman, Claw Talisman. Start with the roar or jump R2. Poise break on follow-up and crit for major damage. Good times!

I was doing some testing with this ash of war on the sleeping Albinaurics at Palace Approach Ledge-Road site of grace and here's what I got.
66 Strength, Roar Medallion, Highland Axe in offand, no other buffs. All weapons that could be infused with ash of war were infused with heavy.
Troll's Golden Sword 24+ = 1443 dmg
Watchdog's Greatsword 24+ = 1406 dmg
Greatsword 24+ = 1406 dmg
Giant-Crusher 24+ = 1406 dmg
Troll's Hammer 25+ (10 faith) = 1244 dmg
Troll's Roar scales with strength and Beast's Roar scales with Dex but could there be a hidden effect on the Troll's Golden Sword that increases the damage on this ash of war? I'm not sure.

With a +25 weapon, roar medallion and highland axe, I am consistently hitting endgames enemies for around 1000 damage with the roar alone, and anything that survives gets instantly poise broken by either the roar or the follow up attack. This skill just seems insane to me with it's damage, stagger and poise. It's a lot of fun too, just killing things by yelling

For any enemy not a mini boss/boss, this, as of the latest patch will poise through most physical attacks and some weaker attacks of higher tier enemies. The wave itself hits for around 400-500+ with the talisman and looks like a guaranteed knock back and you'll need an uncharged R2 to stagger right after. Great for human enemies in general as it will fling a dude sometimes. I don't recommend this on bosses.

This is very useful to have while exploring and dungeon crawling. I was trapped in a tiny tunnel too small to swing my weapons, surrounded by those corpse-meat slimes, getting chipped down and scarlet rotted. Would have died without this skill. The hyperarmor on the roar is surprisingly good.
Overall, a really good AoE option for pure strength builds. Perfect for when you're being zerg-rushed by a bunch of annoying enemies. It can also stun flying enemies out of the air if they get too close. IMO, it works best in an off-hand or secondary weapon to be switched to when needed.

While probably not the best for using against bosses, I've found the roar part of the AoW to be very useful against swarm enemies. Works great with my Greataxe since it's better suited for dealing damage to one enemy at a time. Plus the roar seems to have a good amount of poise to it

Shout! Shout! Let it all out! Theeese are the things I can do without! Come on!

Combined with the roar talisman buff this WA hits fairly hard at around 400 to 500 with MASSIVE stagger and poise damage.

Is this good for anything? It seems way too slow to be useful.
