Explain something for me?

Just got invaded by a guy who appeared as a regular enemy (no red aura, no aura at all in fact). He had some sort of small blue diamond-shaped shield that reflected magic with a parry (I know there's a couple that do that). What really concerns me is, when I actually landed a backstab and did some damage to him, he swapped to something that looked like an ordinary dagger. He landed a single heavy stab with it, which completely one-shot killed me, cursed me down to 75% health from full humanity AND broke every single piece of equipment I had on. Hax? or can I spec to use whatever "fuck you up forever" dagger that was?

Yeah,he was definitely a hacker,there is no legit way to inflict curse for a player. Though the fact that he looked like a normal enemy can be done with a ring.

I know there's the White Ring, but that one just makes you a white glowy ghost (summon) instead of a red glowy ghost (invader).

There's another ring: http://darksouls2.wikidot.com/ring-of-the-living

The curse thing was surely a cheat though. The one-shot kill could be the retainer weapon, it does insane damage sometimes.

Ahhh... SotFS content. I haven't gotten to much of that yet, still working my way through the changed zones from the original game. SO MUCH HATE for Shaded Ruins now.

There's a ring that makes you appear normal as a phantom, the dagger sounds like a hack, not sure

I've been researching and can't find ANY weapons that add curse, or any way to infuse curse onto a weapon... by my figuring, though, it should only have dropped me by at most two death's worth (one for dying, and one for the curse) of hollowing.. not 25% humanity gone in a single hit.

there are niether curse weapons for players nor breaking (only consumables and spells for breaking).

you can repair all your equipment for free in the first dlc, btw

So, definitely a hacker, then? I knew you could break armor with acid pots and the like, but wasn't sure a weapon could do it short of just hammering you repeatedly.

Sadly, I only found out about the free repair tree after I spent about 7000 souls to fix my stuff.
