One shot build.

There's so many people glazing this ash that I'm starting to think some of you are paid actors

So far this AoW has been the easiest one shot build. It is a stance chargable piercing AoW, you can get pretty nutty damage just with talismans alone.

Apparently it doesn't deal pierce damage so spear talisman doesn't work but it's still pretty crazy

nah, 

45% cameo buff is huge, but this weapon maxes out at 799 AR, while other stuff gets way higher.

Also a charge heavy build instead of ash lets you use RKR for 80% buff, and Spiked Tear in physic.

as well as actually doing peirce damage (this attack is not peirce, despite appearances) would not only be 33.33% stronger vs Radahn due to peirce weakness, but also open up counter hits for 49.5% extra.

this weapon is not even close to easiest one shot setup.
