Ensha caught me by Surprise.
But was no match for a halberd. Just keep some distance and those things are useless on Ensha

I discovered something interesting, one handed this weapon charged strong attack make alot more poise damage than powerstanced, and the charged strong attack is really fast

Since this has inherent magic damage scaling, you can wear rogier's set to capitalize on the magic damage that the skill normally does ON TOP of the magic damage innately added from the weapon. Couple this with magic cracked tear physick, dagger talisman, shard of alexander, and magic scorpion charm and you can one-shot players handily, as well as do 2.5k+ damage to PvE (tested at 80 arcane).

not gonna lie, this isn't bad at 150 level pvp. the running attacks are quick, and the scaling and damage is adequate

Useful if you want to give another player a hand.
...I'll see myself out.

likely the worst weapon in the game. at least varre's bouquet has bleed

The arcane scaling i this is too bad don't even try making it work with an Arcane build on top of that it cant be buffed and the split magic damage is way too low.

No one else has mentioned it yet, but the running attack on this absolutely slaps in pvp.

Rogier's Spellblade set boosts the weapon skill - probably because this is the only way to get magic damage on that Ash of War.
Useful. Kinda.
I find a good approach with this weapon's skill is to roll/dash in after an enemy does a strong attack and immediately L2. Alternatively, abuse the low stance your character takes when using the ability to duck underneath some enemy attacks (varies per enemy, some have horizontal swipes that are very duckable)

Weapon art shouldve been you holding out the arms & the rest of the skeleton materializes and you just swing him around in a circle

Almost 3 seconds of channel time for a grab that, even though it goes through shields, it is affected by poise. If someone has a certain amount of poise, the grab won't work **even though the attack lands** and you also do not have hyperarmor. Regardless of whether this is a bug or just a mere oversight, it needs to be remedied in my opinion.

Note: the clinging bone's lifesteal doesn't work against shielded opponents

I wish these either replaced your hands or went over them like a pair of gloves.....

Should have just put the Bone Fists from Dark Souls 2 back in the game. Instead of making half the fist weapons be essentially arm swords with boring movesets.

That atrociously slow cast animation on the lifesteal ability though... maybe my grandchildren will enjoy the lifesteal.

Does split damage Physical(80)/Magic(20). Weight is 3.0 not 2.5. Scaling: Str. E/Dex. C/Arc. D.
Attributes Required: Str. 8/Dex.22/Arc.16.
Talent seems to work like the old "Dark Hand" but goes through shields (Sidenote: All attacks do), a hit with the talent is not a crit. tested with both assassin talismans neither worked.
No hyperarmor as far as I can tell. Health "stolen" was 319HP with the following stats: (Str. 17/Dex. 24/Arc.17).
All tested with the soldiers on the "Bridge of Sacrifice".
Hope that helps; we can now finally Finger-but-hole...

Reminds me of the Dark Hand but it's sorta unusable until it gets scaling
