      This used to be good, a little too good. Now after that nerf it's one of the worst skills in the game. RIP

        I really don't understand some of these skills. I see all the vids, etc and this seems to work great and have a reasonable distance. Whenever I use it I have to wait (most of the time) until the things I'm targeting are practically in my face for this to hit them. Makes no sense.

          Good source of pure fire damage on strength builds. Comes out much slower than either of the moonveil beams but it'll do around 80% of the damage to most things.

          Dex has beast's roar
          Int has moonveil
          Fth has the halo scythe
          And str has flame of the redmanes.

          Suppose it wouldn't be too far fetched that reduvia is the arcane equipment.

            Was definitely a bit too strong pre-patch but is now a bit too weak to be considered. 30 stance damage for 14 FP was a lot. I feel like a reduction down to 20 would have been more appropriate, since the actual HP damage isn't that high unless you build specifically for a FotR build (which is not really how the game is meant to be played) and the windup is a bit sluggish. Besides, if you've ever put yourself through the pain of farming that one Redmane outside of Redmane Castle (the knight on horseback) you know how powerful the skill is supposed to be.

              I just found out about this thing. Stop nerfing things. This is so irritating. I was going to use this but now there's no point.

                Should probably have 15-20 stance damage. It's got a very long range and wide aoe, but it still needs a bit of a buff to be a viable stance damage aow, which is what it was designed for. Now its just a much higher cost flaming strike without the weapon buff but it gets longer range.

                • Anonymous

                  30 Stance damage would have been perfectly fine, putting it on par with other Ashes of War like Unsheathe or Lion's Claw. 10 is just too low, it's stupid.

                  • Anonymous

                    Any ash of war that does a certain amount of stance break, like 30 for example, should be on par with other weapon arts. FOTR was designed to do big stance break, it should have stayed that way. It should have just been made to compete with other weapon arts designed for stance breaking.

                    Lion's Claw: 30. Unsheathe: 30. Square Off: Freaking 40. 30 is the ballpark that FOTR should have been in, not 10.

                      It was way too effective thats why I personally did not used it (was very boring)

                      But its fair to say this nerf went way too far if its only can break a stance of a snow troll by casting it 8 times in a row

                        Damage and speed increases would be nice for pve and pvp.

                        It's bad to mediocre without stagger locking. Some compensation buffs wouldn't break the game.

                          Huge, wide cone of damage, hits at mid-range, moves slowly so you can follow up with a melee attack, melts enemies and bosses weak to fire (like Erdtree Avatars and Cleanrot Knights,) and gets pretty excellent damage when investing in strength. Before it was abused; now it's used. There's still plenty of things to abuse in Elden Ring if you're knowledgeable enough, of course. It's just that this one has been put more in line with what the devs intended it to do. (I'm still kinda bummed though.) Try a dex or int-focused Ice Spear build for a spiritual successor.

                            It baffles my mind how people can be so whiny about PvP that they would get useful things for single player wiped out. PvP is a small aspect of this game...stop ruining things for people playing the other 99% of the game

                              I totally agree that this had way too much poise damage pre-nerf, but now it's more or less useless. The damage isn't that great, so all it really does well now is deal with dogs and finger creepers, which aren't that much of an issue anyway. Such a shame, this was a really cool skill. Overtuned, but undeniably cool.

                                This is still an awesome AOW; aesthetically fantastic, decent damage, okay against crowds. Look, yeah, before the nerf the poise damage was amazing, and probably way overtuned. Was the nerf too much? Probably, but eh, still a fun ability for any fire-themed builds.

                                    regarding strength scaling

                                    Using uchigatana with a str/dex build-> if I am leveling up dex, will flame of redmane's still increase because the uchi scales w/dex? or will it only increase w/str?

                                    • Was quite effective against flying enemies before 1.08, now I would say don't bother unless you can one-shot. It doesn't poise break so it doesn't knock them down. Usually one is all you can get out before bird talons are within kissing distance

                                              I'm on my first playthrough and chose to play Katana and Misericorde. Suddenly I can't stagger and crit bosses anymore. That sucks.

                                                  I feel like they should have nerfed it only to 25 Stance damage. With the Stonebarb Cracked Tear the Stance damage would be 32.5 (can someone confirm if the tear affects FOTR).

                                                  Most bosses have around 80-120 Stance health, so with 25 stance damage FOTR could have poise broke most bosses with 5 uses without tear tear, 4 uses with the tear.

                                                  I get that 40 Stance damage might have seem a bit high for an ash of war that could come out really quickly, but 10 Stance damage, it's just too low man.

                                                      Did they really have to nerf it that hard? I'd get if they halved of from 40 to 20 poise damage but to 10? Way to nerf it into the ground, not that they needed to nerf it in the first place. Couldn't they have just nerfed its effectiveness in PvP and not ruin it in the PvE?

                                                          I like the animation and theme, but always ended up avoiding it due to how funky all that posture breaking was

                                                              I will admit that this was way too strong, but the nerf might have gone too far.

                                                              Going from 40 to 10 stance damage will quadruple the hits to stagger, meaning this is likely inferior to Flaming Strike from a damage perspective. It will barely stagger anymore, so most of its damage will come from the WA itself, which Flaming Strike does better via buffing.

                                                              For those looking for alternatives to this for a stagger build, the Glintblade Phalanx AoW still does 40 stagger damage, if slower and less spammable, and Square Off deals 40 stagger on its Heavy input. There are still options, just not as simple as rushing Caelid for the AoW.

                                                                  This ash of war is OP for critical hit builds. It has the highest stance damage per second of any ability. Not only is it fast, it's cheap. At only 14 FP, it's the only FP-costing move that costs less to stance break most enemies than you get from critting with the assassin's cerulean dagger talisman (restores 15 per damagign part of crit animation, so you can do it indefinitely. Everything else costs >15. Glintblade phalanx is 18 (combos well with this tho). Everything else is way slower and more costly.

                                                                  Its a shame, because this overshadows a lot of potential crit builds with little effort. Stone of gurranq, aspect of the crucible: tail, heavy finisher, and trolls roar are decent alternatives if you don't want to use this meta junk or spam jumping heavies, but it won't be a very clean build.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      Increase the damage scaling with the weapon's AR (25% or so), make the stagger damage be like half or a fourth of what it is currently. It retains use as a decent stagger and crowd control option for mobs on builds that aren't speced into the spell caster stats, or don't use heavy weapons, and gives them elemental damage in addition.

                                                                      The stance damage on this doesn't make any sense, a small cloud of flame shouldn't be doing more stance damage than artorias-flipping with a hunk of steel the size of a bike.

                                                                      • Anonymous

Breaks Elden Beast's poise in four hits, and less against most other bosses in the game. Allows for 3-5 ripostes you would never have gotten otherwise. On top of that, it does decent straight up damage, comes out fast and costs little FP. There are basically no drawbacks to this.

                                                                        • Anonymous

Tried several weapons.

                                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                                  I killed the omen king first try with a miséricorde +14 and this ash of war, use margit shackle, then 2 woosh woosh, critical hit, 2 woosh woosh, critical hit, drink when you need, I just got damaged when he phased transition, otherwise yes I didn't see much of the moveset. So op. It would be nice to have something in between having a sh*t weapon that tickle bosses (at level 1) and this lol. When it's your first rl1 you might want to try several weapons but the most important bell bearings are AFTER this boss....

                                                                                      • Anonymous

Tried it on Man serpents that are immune to fire damage and it still broke their stance.

                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                            Just so you know, Square Off's heavy version also deals 40 stance damage. What makes this skill infinitely better in my opinion is its range and spammability. A banished knight in Stormveil will be stance broken in two hits from this or square off, but you'll have such an easier time with two of these than two square offs.

                                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                                              This is the most powerful weapon skill in the game in my opinion, and even as a sorcerer I find many enemies, and even many bosses, easiest to fight using this skill instead of sorcery.

                                                                                              But anyway, for those wondering how strength affects it, I did some testing with two characters that both have a +16 misericorde. With a strength of 12, the skill typically did 505 damage. With a strength of 53, it typically did 650 damage. So while strength increases damage a bit, you do NOT need high strength to utilize this ability even if you just want it for AoE fire damage. Also strength had no apparent effect on poise damage, which of course is the raison d'etre of this skill.
