is there a bug that gets rid of this? killed kood got the ash and now it is gone from my inventory. and this is looking at all ashes of war and not the infusion table for anyone wondering.

There are three use cases for this skill in PvP that makes it quite solid. The first is using it as a followup attack to catch a panic roll, using it uncharged makes it come out fairly quickly and is great on medium-sized weapons like Heavy Thrusting Swords, Greatswords, etc. The second is using it to snipe a player who is running away from you in a straight line as an execution, it also works decently as a flask punish. The third is trading with it using the Hyper Armor, either at close range or less preferably at long range against an opponent also using ranged attacks, it doesn't have good tracking meaning you NEED to trade hits at long range, otherwise they can very easily just side step the projectile, meaning they have to be doing something that makes them stand still, like casting a spell or using a skill, hence "trading."

Projectile alone does 6 stance damage, make sure weopon part hit too to do good stance damage

Do the weapon part (during ash of war, not flat buff) and projectile both scale off faith?

FGMS, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander give it a nice kick... also with Blessed Blue Dew Talisman there is basically no FP cost to fire buff on weapon

With kind thanks to the Albinaurics in Mogwyn, I can say that:
- Charging is around a 30% damage buff.
- The weapon has a hitbox, which gives you a whole lot more damage when used point-blank.
- And the projectile can go through enemies.
No wonder Kood absolutely destroys me each time I walk up to him.
Even though it says fire damage is additional, the physical damage part does not seem to scale directly with weapon AR and levels. Tested with 80 dex and 40 faith, it does more damage on Flame Art affinity than Keen despite keen gives more AR

you can get the buff for free if you ensure you fall off a ledge before you fire the projectile :)

On a flame FKGS build, this is a 10% damage buff that can be further amplified by fire modifiers. Plus, the action of buffing is an impaling thrust on a colossal sword. The buff and attack move perfectly complement the already great FKGS moveset and AR. That alone makes it great. The charging capability is the icing on the cake. On a similar build without FKGS though, I would use either impaling thrust, giant's hunt or lion's claw due to the better damage combined with quicker and massive stance breaking potential.

I wish they gave the generic Blinkbolt a lightning buff like Flame Spear does fire, then we wouldn't have to use dogshit Lightning Slash to apply it on lightning/sacred affinity weapons

I tested it further and can confirm that charging the attack does increase poise damage.

The buff grants the same amount of damage (flat 95 fire, 40 seconds) whether you charge it or not.
The charged attack seems to also deal increased poise damage.

Does anyone else have trouble making this actually hit an enemy at range that isn't standing perfectly still?

does charging it increase the poise damage of the actual stab?

Does the fire effect apply any special effects and to what intensity?

The range on this thing is surprisingly good and down right terrifying
