• Changes the Critical animation for other players and NPCs to the ones used in Demon's Souls, often increasing the Motion Value on top of the Damage increase.
• No effect on some Enemies/Bosses. Generally, if it can be Backstabbed, Hornet Ring will take effect.

Comments

Hornet Ring does not function properly with dark damage against players

Hornet Ring actually reduces ends up reducing critical damage on Dark weapons. This behavior only comes up in PvP situations as it functions normally for mobs.
