L'ossidiana ha bisogno di nerfare la madre della nidiata, è il modo di operare 

Io di certo se sto giocando a grounded non voglio giocare a dark soul quindi sono pienamente d'accordo il boss e troppo difficile

The healing debuff on the dust cloud she kicks up in phase 2 and 3 doesn't appear to be able to be countered with either dust-guard or gas-guard (tested on PC with empanadust and a gas-mask respectively), which feels kind of like an oversight to me, possibly even a bug. Correcting this wouldn't be a crazy nerf either, as you'd be giving up some sort of food buff or armor buff to bring dust/gas guard, and it would certainly help in the survivability area as the fight drags on. Otherwise this dust cloud lacks counterplay entirely for solo players, as you can't move out of its spawn range during her windup, as the attack itself takes less than a second, and there's no one to trade aggro with if you're alone while you wait 20 seconds for the debuff to go away. Personally this is the most annoying part of the fight for me, by phase 3 with 20+ stacks of her other healing debuff, being gifted with an undodgeable 50% healing debuff feels really crappy and unfair. tl:dr broodmother dust/gas cloud debuff isn't blocked by dust/gas guard, but it really should be, since it is clearly either dust or gas.
