Talisman of the Dread + Fire Scorpion Charm + Shard of Alexander = Profit

60 vigor, erdtree favor 2, crimson amber 3, fire knight helm, crimson spill tear, morgott rune and you heal 10% of your hp per hit. pair that with golden vow, crab, hp regen and defensive talismans = unkillable

I’m not so sure about the “scales only with faith” bit. I do comparable damage with ~80 Strength no matter if my faith is pumped or not. I was doing Str/Arc and using Blasphemous Blade as a backup, decided to respec into Str/Faith and the difference is minimal. Same with Wave of Gold (Which I use to farm). 80 Str and ~30-40 faith and I’m still one-shotting Albinaurics and doing comparable damage to Mobs in DLC as I am with 80 faith.
Gonna respec back into Str/Arc as the extra discovery is nice and I like bleed. :)

Talisman of the Dread aka magma buff talisman, works on this insane AoW.

I wouldn't worry about nerfs to this. I tried it today in the DLC and it still murders everything up to and including the really difficult bosses. With mimic tear the reliable easy mode option is intact.

Got nerfed with 1.12.
Decreased the fire’s poise damage.
Removed the fire’s knocking down effect.

This needs a 15-20% damage nerf. I say this as a PvE-er. It's so much better than any spell I have available and I'm currently slapping godfrey with it. It just does more damage and then also heals me. I have no reason to use any of the dozens of incantations I have picked up purely because this AoW is too good.

FromSoft should nerf the damage on this by 3% and increase the poise damage by 1.3%, but only in PvP. Just to make it in line with their other weird ass balance changes.

Fromsoft when balancing be like:
Hmmm, this very weak and predictable ash of war doesn't deserve any hyperarmor
But this self-heal nuclear lava explosion needs TONS of hyperarmor

Will do a challenge run on NG+ without healing flasks. Definitely not as hard as no hit, but I think it will be fun

Amazing skill coupled with high poise and shard of Alexander + Mimic. Malenia didn’t stand a chance she was more down than up

With some buffs and the Mimic you can easily take out the last 4 bosses with this. Ridiculously good.

30 FP for massive damage and upwards of 300 HP restored, sounds cool Fromsoft

Blasphemous blade and godslayer's are why I didn't respec for a second playthrough.

Commenting just in case anyone else blindly takes Kokca's advice below like I did - he's wrong. Taker's Flames costs 23 FP with the Carian Filigreed Crest equipped, therefore you need 15 Mind to cast it 4 times, not 11 like he claimed.

This paired with the flame of frenzy incantation makes dealing with crystalians a lot less painful even in a difficult late game area like Elphael brace of the haligtree. The weapon art knocks them flat and if you start to cast FoF when you see them starting to get back on their feet you should hit them before they can get close enough to use melee attacks on you, it works on the crystalian caster as well.
busted ass move at 11 mind + with carian filigreed talisman you can use this 4 times before running out of mana

they really need to fix the phantom proc issue. this and black knife are almost unbearable with it still being in the game.

It isn't mentioned here, but Taker's Flames does not cause damage to the Serpent enemies in Volcano Manor; it only provides knock back.

Does Arrow's Reach Talisman affect this? I know some skills have less dropoff at range AND the travel speed seems to increase. It might be harder to dodge if this travels at a faster rate.

I faced a really cool dude in pvp today who used the weapon art to heal even if it is rolled due to netcode phantom hits. Super creative! Although I think it only phantoms if you roll through it instead of to the side.

The design of this sword is simultaneously similar to the Mea Culpa from the game Blasphemous (ooooh a possible reference) and the sword infused with all the behelits that the skull knight uses in Berserk.

This really should have been Plunderer's Flames. Taker's sounds so stupid.
Got 5062 damage from this one with buffs................brutal!

Most busted weapon art ever, I love it. Immense damage + knocks down nearly anything that can be knocked down.
