Lol

ohhh yea mashing the old R1 button. Its skillful when they kill you with it.
Your the noob when you kill them.
I had a dude apologize to me once. We had a duel and it went for a little while. The then attacked me with his pole weapon and texted me "Sorry for pole noobing you"
So in that statement he realized he couldn't beat me with out the stun lock.

I know i can already see the posts coming "but you can parry it" I get it. But when someone is bearing down on you with a curse weapon pole weapon i dont want to miss on the parry and get a full stamina bar of pole in the face because it STUN LOCKS.

Exploits are Exoloits plain and simple

It only takes 1 good baskstab

Call it what you want stunlock is an exploit imo, Do you think there is skill in mashing R1?

Not katana combo, katana push. Dont act like youve never been caught before, especially when they switch weapoms on the fly

That is all.

exploits can be strategies

only noobs get caught in more than 5 backstabs per fight

since when is stunlock an exploit??????

its your fault for getting stuck in a katana combo

I usually dont have trouble with alot of backstabbers but when you get the lag hits happening it becomes an issue, or when they roll through you and somehow manage to catch you. Or the backstabs that do 0 damage (cuaght in a roll) ?? Not to mention the funniest looking thing ever- the double backstab® now how does that even happen ? LOL. Its not so bad as the other exploits but it definetly need to be fixed imo.

Backstabbing is an exploit? Lol, If you're good enough it is!

Use a Claymore. That usually stops all but the advanced backstabber.

Appreciate the answer. The wiki will probably need and update since it still says:
HP drain is reduced to 1 HP per second when Cursed Weapon is cast with a "broken" Catalyst, or using a catalyst without meeting requirements; i.e. Talisman Of Beasts with 18 Magic but less than 18 Faith.

Side note, seems strange that catalysts have a strength requirement. Don't see too many classes that would need to two-hand a Talisman of God (excluding the Asian de-leveling glitch of course).

Cracked ToB isnt a stragety as much as it is a exploit of the games flaws. Just like Katana push, stunlock, and BACKSTABBERS (I hate them)

This is kind of the reason why i dont want a patch

some of these strategies like cracked ToB among others would be gone, and many weapons require these things

but at the same time i want someone to fix soe OP things lol

By broken do you mean, durability at zero? Because thats not what makes the curse drain lessened. A "Cracked" Talisman of Beasts is when you do not meet the required stats to effectively wield it. This is good when you only cast spells like warding and curse weapon, which are not weakened by using a Cracked ToB. If you equip a ToB and it says, "you do not have the skill to use this effectively", then its Cracked and the HP drain is mitigated to 1hp a second.

I'm attempting to cast Cursed Weapon with a broken Talisman of Beasts but my health depletion remains at 1% per second (instead of 1 HP per second as the wiki claims). I've also tried a broken Silver Catalyst.

Did they change this for the NA version?
