I enjoy the covenant, in theory. Its fun to be the boss. That being said, I play fair and with the idea that the challenger should have fun. The people that match against me as the boss have the sweatiest, most god awful, lag abusing builds. Most recently there was a naked, infinite stamina build with a silver knight shield, perma-blocking. They roll constantly, lag is in their favor, so hits rarely connect, and when they DID connect, it was miniscule because of the damage reduction. On top of that, they are wearing the sun princess ring, so they heal to full before the game registers another hit. Got lucky enough to hit them a few times? They use the ornament to cut off a corner of the room and use healing miracle, untouchable. Is this fun? You're not doing anything but rolling and holding guard. I don't understand. And when it IS a fight, I can get hit from across the room despite dodging and taking space. Are there any of you that run the covenant that actually respect others? Or is the goal to waste as much time as you can until they close app and fight the boss offline?
