Add Black Flame Blade to turn it into a Getsuga Tensho!

can be put on greataxes. feels pretty good to use too, offsets the otherwise slow close-range moveset

Hesitation is defeat!

This skill is a nice way to punish spell casters and other weapon arts at a range. If you have not used this ash on a quality build, I highly recommend it.

Vacuum Slice works just fine on flat ground but on uneven ground the wave just doesn't go through like it's supposed to.

Even though Blasphemous Blade has a similar projectile with its weapon art that doesn't have this issue. Showing the problem is unique to Vacuum Slice.

Also in my experience. There are times where Vacuum Slice will hit a target and do zero damage, sometimes staggering them with no damage too. I don't know if its damage is hindered by enemies with high poise or if it's simply bugged. Take caution when using this Ash of War.

What exactly IS the scaling on this thing? How much does it get from Strength and Dexterity? If Cold Infusions just increase the scaling (while decreasing the base damage), would that also decrease the Base Damage of this attack? If not, wouldn't that just make Cold a strict upgrade to baseline Weapons in terms of Storm Blade damage?

You can aim the projectile into the air now I think thats why people are missing this attack and it going into the ground you can free aim it down you have to free aim slightly upwards

I just put it in my colossal gs and stomped fortissax first try.

No offense but these kind of skills boring af in pve. Same as darkmoon. What a point of being melee if you gonna spam this crap from range, might as well go wizard and be ranged coward. Not for TRUE melee players.

I thought this was a ground based projectile for a long time. It actually just travels parallel to the ground. Meaning you can aim it ip and down. Think of it like a fast and vertical darkmoon slash
