Anyone else really wish there was contact medicine for the rot swamps? Come on Miyazaki, you already know how to do this.

For completeness's sake, assuming the given numbers are correct, both rot swamps do enough percent damage to kill you 3.6x over, plus 1440 for the Aeonia swamp (around 1 health bar with 40 vigor), and plus 5400 for the Lake of Rot (around 2 health bars at 60 vigor with Morgott's Rune). Not that the duration of the status matters a ton when the buildup is persistent.

People who think that we need more rot spells and rot affinity Ash of Wars certainly haven't touched PvP at all

Where rot infusion and rotten armament spell? Why is weapon rot so useless? Where are the cool rot spells like the ones that frenzy, ice, and bleed got? and the last, most important question… WHY DOESNT HAND OF MALENIA INFLICT ROT!!!!!

should scale off faith and all rot weapons get tiny faith scaling.
then you could put poison on one and us fai arc build who use stinky stuff can finally get some damn numbers.
