Every time I invaded with my joke Artorias build, I would get ganked by phantoms and the host with at least TWO of them having the gold tracer. What's worse, my Artorias never stood a chance for 20 invasions straight.........until I resorted to WoTG.
Out of curiosity, has anyone ever done well with the abyss sword in a 1 v 2 or 1 v 3 fight?

Isn't there a spinning strike when the Abyss is held with both hands?

Waaay to slow and predictable in 1 v 2 fights. Plus, its easily dodged leaving your back wide open. I only connected that attack once on a phantom and it was a OHK.

Thats ALL I see them do with curved swords. Granted, its wonderful against noobs and crushes poise quickly, its really easy to parry if you're not stunned. With the Artorias set though, I got so little poise that after 1-2 hits I'm stunned with 2 of them hitting me with gold tracers causing bleedout.

I just recently met an invader with a Gold Tracer the other day (also tried using Great Combustion spam, but whatever).
In the end, they had better luck with GC as I stomped the dude with my Murakumo.

Couldn't stand watching the video anymore because the fights were just brutal. This just confirms that the abyss sword is TERRIBLE. Sure its good in PvE but in PvP, 1v1 fights are doable with skill, 1v2 or 1v3 fights are impossible.
@Ryan: Mind you that I was using an Artorias build and it has low poise with a very slow moveset. It got destroyed everytime. On my other characters, I can PvP no problem. My favorite character being my own version of the darkwraith with the thief mask and lord blade's gauntlets though.

My only question is why did you wait until 20 fights before going to WoTG? I got over the stigma the community has againt that as well as TWOP (and really anything else in the game) over a year ago from patch 1.04. As the EA slogan used to say, if it's in the game....
It's situational and I just don't break it out all over the place but if really any 2 on 1 situation seems pretty good time to me. I understand wanting to fight skillfully but at the same time it is important to fight smart. If a guy has light weight, flip build and mobility is his strong suit, if I can find an opportunity to cast a spell to limit his mobility, I am going to do it. If I am being surrounded and I have a spell that hits all around me, I will use that spell. Especially since almost always one will be trying to circle behind you for a backstab.

Dude.....I'm SL 247 with this guy. I didn't have enough faith to use it. It takes a LONG time to level that late into the game. My other character who's SL 221 does a lot better at 1v2 then this Artorias character I tried to make.

Nyehhh
I pulled a Jesus with the Abyss GS
I bypassed my friend's I-frames with the 2h R2
He got stunned and I proceeded to kill him with it.

The abyss sword is quite fun to use, but tricky to actually utilize it in actual PvP. I watched MrBushidoRight's youtube video of playing with an artorias build. He sucked with the build really bad. And it was only 1v1.
