PaladinPvDullahanVt: Dark souls 2 boss grab attacks: finally a worthy opponent!
riothead1240: Also much respect for keeping things secret. Seems like 2 days after the dlc came out people were dropping videos with spoilers in the thumbnails. Even Avengers had a 2 week blackout for spoilers.
arkumek9260: got hit with this during one of my recent invasions and my reaction was literally "oh cool, that thing surely wont plague pvp for the next 2 months"
KogasaTatara514: Of course it also adds a hitbox to your feet
chuckchan4127: Jumping plunge vs "nothing personal kid" strike.

Who wins?
soulzzzplaya: Madness perfume also goes brrrr.
Th3_Raven: The new bug seeing the return of Fire's Deadly Sin in the form of the new Frenzy Torch applying main hand statuses (*cough cough Eclipse Shotel cough cough*) is hilariously stupid. Hopefully that gets patched sooner rather than later.
hayrexrex6766: 10 minutes club
josoares6284: Sad thing the best dlc pvp weapons are either bugged or poorly designed (swift slash, fire knight greatsword true combo, GS of damnation, etc)
kaizerslinkard4832: i was using the wings ash of war and some psycopath used that on me when i was at the lowest point of the swoop and pinned me out of the air, couldnt even be mad
carian_moon: The mystery weapon is the Sword of Night!
floofzykitty5072: It seems the Ash of War seems to follow the same logic as phantom status buildup. The worse the ping is in the fight the more glitchy it seems.
antonsalologvinovcom7366: They added dark souls 2 grab attacks into Elden Ring.
Esponea_482: Time to impale some enemies with this one :3
CerealKiller: Madnesschads stay winning
DiodeCode: After the grab, if you spam the light attack after the animation ends, you’re almost guaranteed to hit them if they don’t roll out immediately.
D00MTR33: From Pre dlc patch: dual spears and thrusting weapons are nerfed.
Me, what's this? Maybe i should give PVP a...
Also From: we also added fire knight UGS, swift slash and some other BS AoW. Please enjoy."
Me, "nevermind. Ranni, please send Miyazaki some feet pics so we can have DS2 like PVP again."
innergenichiro: I dont like seeing a glitch for a weapon this cool. I love the boss a lot as well.
Mr._Galaxywide: Here are 10 tips and tricks from someone who has been using this the last five days let me give some advice for people who both use and face this weapon.
1. Bleed and frost can knock the person out of the animation
2. While I haven't used it much myself the Crucible seal talisman could help with the grab.
3. Remember that even if the ash of war misses there is still a regular follow up, and if people are hesitant to close it is a perfect opportunity to heal.
4. The ash has a lot of end lag and the user is easily exposed and vulnerable to a Large throwing pot or spell/incant.
5. Not locking on gives the user a far wider range of motion than traditional lock on and if timed right can even do a full rotation.
6. Learn the weapons move set without the ash, as people get more and more use to the weapon abusing the ash won't cut it so make sure you can take advantage of its fairly nice move set.
7. I would recommend flowing with a running heavy as more time than not you can roll catch a person fleeing.
8. You can kill post-mortem, there have been several times where I have killed a person while technically being dead at the time of the grab. (don't know if heal from afar from a friend could heal when in this "final blow" state and haven't had the time to test)
9. USE HEAVY ARMOR
10. This weapons ash can win out against other ashes, you can dunk people mid waterfowl, you can slam people using lion's claw, and when fighting just about any ash you can cancel them out of it. (BTW I would recommend equipping the frenzied flame perfume bottle in a second slot for traps.)


Edit: IT SHOULD HAVE A UNIQUE REPOST AND BACKSTAB ANIMATION.
DTGeorge: I still don't understand why Fromsoft doesn't fix their server connection
LadyCorvia: That shit happened to me today in duels, the guy just teleporting on top of me drove me mad
