Anonymousdoes anyone actually have the exact numbers/percentages that lightning strike increases dex scaling and decreases strength scaling?

really unfortunate that, as you’d expect based on the animation, you stab through your own legs when using this on a twinblade. Really wish they’d given it a special animation with some thought put into it.

I don't think it would hurt to add some very mild scaling on this, Flaming Strike, and Sacred Blade. Nothing crazy of course, just enough to boost the early-game bonus of 80-90 damage to around 110-120 by endgame, based on high levels (80) of STR/DEX/FAI. You could even boost the scaling on Scholar's Armament/Electrify Armament to make them more viable, or add the same or slightly lower mild scaling to the various greases. Poison and rot grease scale with ARC, couldn't fire grease scale with STR?

The buff is ridiculously op for early game and midgame imo. Especially for pvp. I slapped this on lordsworn straight sword with lightning affinity and it kills people in 3-4 light attacks with only like 20 dex lol. But in the late game and beyond it really starts lacking because the buff is flat damage and doesn’t scale up. Same for pvp. The slash itself hits pretty hard but lacks decent hyperarmor if it even has any. The slash and lightning strike scale up with dex Im pretty sure. It’s really hard to connect in pvp though. Also In my experience it started to feel really weak in the late game. But tbf dex was basically a secondary stat for me because I was too busy focusing on faith. But I’d say it’s a C or B tier ash. Not bad but definitely not that great imo.

Desperately needs some kind of hyper armor so that you won't be easily staggered out of the swing, especially with the new changes to poise making anything bigger than a Halberd unpoisable. A one-handed R1 from a Claymore will interrupt you, even when you are wearing Full Bullgoat's + Bullgoat's Talisman, meaning you can't even trade with this because of how slow it is.

This AoW doesn't have the thunder range that enemies have when they use it. Therefore garbage.

Disappointed with this weapon art; from the description, I thought this was gonna be the Dragonslayer Greataxe's Falling Bolt Weapon art, but it's more like the Falling Bolt we have at home

Can you use grease with this weapon or is it considered magic?

On all the menus it says that it doesn’t scale with faith, perhaps it’s just a bug or they messed up.
wish this could be put on polearms, only weapon type in the game it doesn't work with. would look cool.
