how much use can i get out of the whistle with 50 bt in both pvp and pvp? seems like your opponent would have to be pretty dumb to get caught by it, but does it do pretty good damage?

What was his problem?

>>144374286
It's actually pretty useful. Most of the time you catch them with it, it is because they are already in an animation that they can't cancel.

>>144374314
He was actually smart and didn't go crazy over muh sekrets like everyone else (including the player apparently) did

>>144374286
It's good for pvp, you basically walk slowly on the opposite direction of your opponent and use the whistle.
In most cases the guy you're fighting will hit you, push you forward and take your place, just in time to get the succ from the snake head.

I'm trying to plat the game but I am stuck at the chalice dungeon. Can someone solo all the boss for me? Would I still get the trophy this way?

>>144375562
Just do it dude, none of the chalice bosses are really that bad, and the ones people complain about get even worse with multiple peoples. If you really need a crutch just throw levels into your vitality.

>>144376310
What's the benefit to sparing him anyways?

Last thread died before I could say thanks to the two guys who helped me with logarius, sorry and thanks a ton.

He becomes a merchant in root chalice dungeons.
He's pretty rare though.

>>144376708
I'm fucking killing him then.

>>144376708
And does he sell anything the messengers don't?

I imagine his prices are exorbitant as well.

>>144378271
not unless you get rid of it yourself

>>144378482
Is it possible to just run through this starting area then?
Because they light keeps killing the Silverbeasts, and then they spit out worms.

>>144378608
yeah, you run through most of that section. Though you should actually run TOWARDS the light and get the lantern on the side of that cliff past the guys throwing rocks, and make sure you remember the elevator nearby for later

>>144378608
>>144378793
You can run through every area of every Souls game ever.

>>144378793
Right, think I went the wrong way. I went off to the left and killed a bunch of giants, not there's a big door.

>>144379032
That's the correct way. His advice is terrible; you'll reach the lantern he's talking about later, and it won't help you for this section.

>>144379167
Alright, now I'm in a castle full of giant spiders.
I'm failing to see how this is an improvement.

>>144379032
That's where you're actually supposed to go, you can head straight through all of that without much issue, just keep running and don't stop.

The lantern I'm talking about isn't useful until shortly after that, it's important to know that the lantern and the elevator are there

>>144378470
I actually like Shadows of Yharnam more than Abyss Watchers now. The latter being easy to cheese and taking place in a boring brown building definitely contributes to that.

Also noticed that DS3 relies on cathedrals in its level design way more than BB does. Kind of a weird fucking thing to be saying but it sure seems that way.

What Runes to run in a pure arc build?

>>144380265
anything that increases your bullet count.

I am at NG+ if I buy and do the DLC now, would the boss be at NG+ level (harder) or does it treat it as if it's NG?

>>144381308
NG+
definitely do not do that to yourself unless you're heavily invested in the chalices

>there will never be a Cainhurst DLC

Is it true that Miyazaki is talking about their next game being futuristic?
Man, that reminds me of a /tg/ souls thread where some guy ran a pretty cool Cyber Souls campaign.

>>144383175
old hunters was blatantly in part content that was meant to be in the main game

the monumentous importance of maria/laurence/ludwig in relation to the game, the absolutely massive presence of the clocktower in pre-release bloodborne marketing material

To claim it didn't heavily "complete" bloodborne is laughable

The only part that didn't complete it is probably fishing hamlet, which in essence felt like the probable "second" dlc that was originally planned, whereas the hunters nightmare and research hall were very likely originally meant to be in the actual progression of the game at release, the living failures music being used in an early game trailer is even more indicative of this.

It was actually a bit of a slap in the face when the clocktower ended up being such a large piece of visual and area-based importance in the dlc, soulsborne as a series has always maintained a level of "if you can see it, and it looks important, you're probably going to be able to go there".

I would kill to see that.

What's the best track in the game?
Hard Mode: No Ludwig the Holy Blade
I think Gascoigne's Theme was pretty damn cool, Queen of the Vilebloods is pretty great too.

>>144384391
Too many good tracks to pick, really. I'd personally narrow it down to Living Failures, Gehrman, Gascoigne, and Orphan.

In DS3 it's easy, Dragonslayer is the best. Though if I gave a shit about Gwyn and was an emotional wreck I might like Soul of Cinder more.

>>144384391
Mars, Bringer of the Living Failures.

>>144384701
My favourite DaS track is The Old Dragonslayer from DS2

>>144374919
Or if you're really feeling lazy. You can actaully bait him to the top of the stairs and then run to the end of the cathedral and hide behind a pillar. It will always break line of sight and aggro and he will just go back to standing there and then you can just back stab him. Then repeat until he's dead.

>>144376664
Watchdog is pretty easy in his first and second phase. Prioritize a leg or paw whatever and hit it until he staggers. After that, target another one and so on. Once phase 3 starts he'll regenerate all the broken limbs and then you can just do it again and of course he'll be more aggressive but the only thing you need to watch out for is his charge.

>>144385367
Attacking it's nose is the best option if you want a safe and easy win.

>>144380265
Blood rapture + Oedin writhe + whatever you want

You can take the extra bullet rune if you want but with the other two you'll get tons of spells so long as you can find parriable enemies

>>144384391
Gascoigne's my favorite but Amygdala is a close second. Unfortunately they're both bosses that die to quickly to fully experience the music

>>144386339
Amygdala yes, but since Gascoigne is the first boss and I had no idea what I was doing I got to experience it pretty fully.

>>144386476
I should probably try fighting him without parrying, I think I would enjoy the fight a lot more that way. Hell last time I fought him he was probably only a beast for 20 seconds because two riposites was all it took to finish him off.

>>144387401
First time I killed him I barely let him become a Beast. Right after he turned I got him with the Music Box, back-stabbed him for the Visceral, and caught him in the face with a molotov.
I'd had him kick me to death too many times to take any chances.

How am I supposed farm Watchers by myself?

>>144396217
Just rush to them, kill them, remake the chalice, and repeat.

>>144396371
None of the +27.2% Isz glyphs work.

>>144396671
Which one are you using? 5pwujscd works just fine. Always has

>>144396948
I did try that and the other Iszs' but I'll try that one again.

But really any tips for the three?

One more question, sorry what are chances of a 27.1% being dropped?

>>144397449
Parries are your best bet, I can give you in depth tactics if you want them.

>>144397547
That would be great, please do Luci.

>>144397449
Well that depends on which build you have. Parries work fairly well in general. Skill get stupidly strong viscerals. Blt gets the bonus of shooting them to death. Strength can use whirlmeme or charged r2's for solid damage, and arc can just throw whatever it has at them. The gems range a bit in percentages with the lowest being around 22% or something and the highest being 27.2%. They're all pretty common but don't bother using it if its -atk down or -hp at all.

>>144394905
Take that gay shit and get out of my workshop.

>>144397703
How to solo the Watchers without getting touched in a room with the twin stair cases:

When you first enter the fog run to the left side of the room and stand at the top of the stairs. Don't go down them. This should draw a couple of the watchers to you. The club watcher should usually be at the front of the pack. This is what you want. He is the easiest to parry in while in a group.

When he reaches the little walk way half way up the stairs, back up into the open area at the top of the stairs. You don't want to give him a Straight shot at you. NEVER parry his sprinting attack. It comes out too fast, and if you trade with it, you'll take a ton of damage.

Now just wait for him to swing. Parry it. It is ridiculously easy to parry. Just be on the look out for the other two. When they reach the top area, head to the other stair well and head about half way down. Don't do all the way down. The goal here is to lead them to the top of the stair well you are on; you don't want them coming down behind you.

When they get there, back up on to the path way. They usually can't get around one another here so just keep going for parries.

WHEN THE GUNNER gets on the mid level head back up the stairs that are now behind you and bait them up those stairs. Don't get greedy. The gun watcher can shoot through the others, staggering you long enough for them to hit you, and result with you going from 100% to dead before you can react.

If they happen to come down behind you, pincering you, just drop to the lower floor, kite them down there, the run back to the very top floor.

{cont.}

>>144398408
{cont.}

The club guy should be dead after that. Now you want to focus on the cleaver guy. You want to keep doing the kiting strategy, making sure the gunner never has a clean shot at you.

The cleaver fuck's attacks are much more annoying to parry without getting a trade. The move you want to watch out for is the one where he lifts the cleaver above his head and holds it there. That is the one you want to parry. As he is holding it above his head and just before he slams it down you will see him raise it slightly. That is your key to shoot. You probably want to avoid parrying it if you are point blank though. That will usually end in a trade.

Just repeat that until he is dead.

When you have the gun guy alone you have basically already won. He can't hit you with his gunshots at point blank range so dodge through a shot, get close, slap the shit out of him, then dodge back before he slaps you with the lantern.

Repeat that until he is almost dead, then he will pull out a club and be the same as the first guy you killed. Just parry him to finish him off.

This will work with any build. I did it on a Str build in a FRC chalice where getting nicked even slightly would instantly kill me. It sounds like it would take forever, but once you get it down, it only takes a few minutes each time, while being extremely safe.

Anyone know what the hell the Cleric Beast is doing when it sprays blood out around itself? Doesn't seem to do anything.

>>144399467
Healing broken limbs.

>>144399467
It's healing a broken part. Whatever part is glowing. If it heals it's heal for example, you can shoot it in the face again, to break it, and when his head breaks again, you can riposte him.

I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this.

Also what's a good place holder weapon until I get the tentacle arms? Saw Spear?

>>144411585
Beating someone so hard they have use their emergency cowardice button is better than a win in my eyes, lets you know just how much you beat them.

And yeah saw spears a pretty good weapon, feel free to use it until you become an ayy

>>144411585
That kind of ragequit is the best kind, though the effect is lost if both of you were spamming heals throughout the whole thing. In DS3 there's no such thing as satisfaction in pvp (or in most of the pve for that matter).

And yeah go with the saw spear. Should prioritize the hunter tools though.

>>144411585
Saw spear works well for arc builds since its got a waning slot for the fire gem from Cathedral Ward. Add that with the two depth 1 Pthumeru gems and you'll burn your way through the game

>>144412013
I guess you're right. Anyways should I put a fire gem or something on it since I won't be putting points into strength or skill?

I've never done a magic build before so I don't know what I'm doing.

>>144412209
Well that answers
>>144412252

>>144412205
Most fun I had with DS3 pvp was using the item that increased the chance of getting invaded while being in the way of the blue. Leads to some really fun situations where you're trying to get through the levels while loads of red and blue phantoms are running around you. Find some cool reds and blues sometimes that'll just let you go by while they duke it out as well

>>144416126

>>144415965

>>144416126
No. Chalice progress is saved with each ng run. Also the blood rocks reset I think.

>>144416525
I don't believe the rocks reset for me. Though with a little pvp action you'll have plenty of insight to buy a few rocks so they're not in painfully short supply.

>>144416171
>>144416525

>>144416525
>Also the blood rocks reset I think.
I think the only Blood Rocks that rest are the ones in the Mensis and the One in the DLC. The ones in the chalices don't.

>>144416687
Just make sure you get Mensis or DLC gems fully farmed before going to NG+ or you will regret it.

>>144384391

>>144416687

Of course a break from the endlessly repeating rooms is always nice.

Executioner rune would probably be best, since I imagine more people wear the vileblood rune.

>>144424254
I would have thought it would be the other way around. I guess I can experiment and see which gets me summoned as a purple more often.

How does getting summoned as an adversary work with HoH? I've hardly ever had it happen.

>>144425083
I always use poison knives on Henryk. Using them I've never had a problem with Eileen being unable to kill Henryk alone.

>Implying people ignore a "Use" option or don't look up on the internet when an item has no clear desription. Compared to giving it to an NPC who doesn't tell you outright why she wants them.

Am I the only one who just runs recklessly into the Henryk fight, wails on him until Eileen shows up, then backs off only taking shots when Eileen's out of the way?

It never seemed like a difficult enough fight to have to come up with cheesy stun/poison strategies.

>trying to get the parry timing down on Winter Lanterns

Jesus fuck sometimes I can get 10 in a row and then I fail the next 10. Is it randomized or something?

>>144427309
I just use the poison knife strategy so that it'll be a one sided fight. Wouldn't want to have to start over, even if its not very far into the game.

>climb research hall
>never take elevator down to Adeline's room
>raise stairs

Would this end the way I think, or does her room open automatically once the stairs are raised?

>>144427309
I go behind him and did charged backstabs while Eileen wails on him. I never do anything before Rom with a weapon higher than +2 so it's not like I'm ever at risk of killing her accidentally

>>144427782
No worries man.

>Looked for Eileen in every boss area after cathedral ward

I can buy her shit at the shop, does that mean she's dead?

>>144428308
I'm not sure what you've done but the only times you'll see eileen are:
-above the rafters in central yharnam
-outside oedon chapel AFTER opening up all the gates in the cathedral ward
-in papa G's boss arena, she joins you in fighting henryk
-outside the grand cathedral, where you fought amelia, injured and leading into the crowsteel fight.

I'm assuming if you can buy her armor/weapons then you have gotten the crow hunter badge somewhere.

Backstab opener, then I wail on him a bit. Then Eileen shows up and I wail on him some more. Sometimes she'll take some hits from me but Henryk's generally too busy being stunlocked or attacking me to hit her. Then he dies.

On my first playthrough she demanded I stay out of it so that's exactly what I did and she died. But other than that I've had no problem keeping her alive by just very simply kicking the shit out of Henryk.

not really sure about this anymore, DS3 had like 2 years of dev time and is missing enough content that it affected the lore significantly.

DS3 is unfinished garbage, but it feels *intentionally* unfinished (coughDLCcough).

DS1 just feels like they rushed it with no intention of ever repairing it.

>>144432889
>most rushed

Post-Londo, barring the Archives at least, is horseshit, I agree. But it's nowhere near more rushed than 2 and 3.

>>144433212
It's not as noticeable in the gameplay though. There isn't really an area of Lost Izalith quality (thank fucking god)

>>144433354
DS1 feels like a proper game that was rushed by pushy publishers.

DS2/3 feel like shovelware pumped out by greedy publishers who never even game them a chance to be good.

>>144432889
Only Izalith is really bad, and DaS1 had the deepest PvP and the best amount of gear that was also fairly unique.

>>144433626
>Deep PvP

>>144432889
>has the worst and most noticable drop in quality as a result
No greater example of this than Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith. Capra and Taurus demons get the copy and paste treatment along with the fucking dragon asses.

>>144433626
>and DaS1 had the deepest PvP and the best amount of gear that was also fairly unique.
For all the shit that DS2 gets, it did PvP the best.

>>144433570
Smouldering Lake is worse than Izalith imo
at least all the assets uses in Izalith were original
Carthus itself is about Izalith tier. The Profaned Capital is a little better off but not by much.

>>144433620
Pretty much. I'm not blaming From for the game being rushed or anything; that was Bamco's fault.
But facts are facts and we're left with a rushed game.
>>144433626
>DaS1 had the deepest PvP
AHAHAHAHAHA, you're a joke.
2 had the best PvP.

>>144433620
Rushed because of publishers being pushy towards the end of development and rushed intentionally because they now know the pubs are gonna be pushy are both rushed.

>>144433626
>deepest PvP
That doesn't mean much, it's still extremely shallow.

Can you summon NPCs without PS+?
Can you create those random chalice dungeons without PS+?

>>144433832
Yeah Yhorm got the shaft in pretty much every way there is. His whole area is just an extension of Sulyvahn's lore to begin with

>>144434016
Of course you can.
You can't use other peoples chalice codes though.

>>144433907
Yes, and all the games suffer for it, but the difference shows, and leaves DS1 feeling far more fulfilling despite fucking Bed of Keks.

>>144433626
I liked ds1 pvp alot, but the whole of pvp was pretty much stunlocks and backstab fishing.

>>144434016
Yes but without the DLC there's a whole lot less of them around.

I believe you can create your own but you can't use glyphs to use everybody else's and bypass the ritual material requirements.

>>144434187
>DS1
>Stunlocks
What

>>144433832
Oh shit yeah I noticed after playing a couple chalices in this how similar the dungeons looked to the underground part of Smouldering Lake. Yeah that area sucked dick even without the reused assets.

Profaned Capital definitely had cuts to it, it's really obvious with how short it is

By Carthus do you mean the Catacombs? I didn't mind those too much, not bad to go through and if you don't feel like it you can rush it in a couple minutes

You fuckers gonna fc today or what

>>144434252
Did you never use a UGS?

Visceraling pigs always cracks me up.

>>144434114
I agree, but my point was DaS1 is far from the most-rushed. DaS1 has rushed areas towards the end but is mostly still fantastic, whereas 2 is just rushed from start to finish.

Yes, stunlocks were a problem.

>>144434260
You can charge through Carthus in a little over a minute. On my first time through it I spent more time fucking around with the pots in that big room than I did actually getting to Wolric. Honestly I think I spent more time exploring Ash Lake with speed hacks on.

Also Wolric's goblet was supposed to be a covenant. And there was supposed to be a Great Bat boss that would be encountered underground, which might have been part of Carthus or Smouldering Lake at one point.

>>144434643
So? Glitch or not it was still possible and factored heavily into PvP. Stunlocks were not viable against anybody competent.

Was it ever explained why the Logo for the Blood Echoes is the same as the Hunter Rune?

Queen Killer is basically the only NPC summon that's worth a fuck. Plus he's steezy as hell.

Can I get some opinions on this from someone experienced with 50 arc builds? Also why the FUCK does the normal wheel have radial/radial/waning slots?

You are not forced to to anything. UGS' are slow and can be parried on reaction, dodged and are easily punished.
You're effectively arguing that stunlocking was the most efficient way to PvP, and by playing you would know that is not the case.

Gem farming is no fun at all

>>144435887
>Is it even any good?
Yes, it's a very fast sword with pokes and slashes.
The blade scales with skill, the gun with bloodtinge.
It's ideal for "sword and board" because it's onehanded in both forms and it can parry.

>>144435887
Yeah Reiterpallash is good, I'm probably biased though since I love rapiers

>>144436071
Oh, cool. Would Noble Scion be a good origin since it favors skl and blt or should I just focus primarily on skl?

>>144436382
Focus on skl unless you're going to be using the gun alot.

You can get a quick shot off with it by using the L1 during a combo, to let you parry a little easier with it

>>144436382
I think it's better on a skill build with 10 blt. The gun isn't very strong.

>>144419283
rollin in it

Would it be worth it to take my normal Chikage from +9 to +10? I really don't want to waste a Blood Rock. I'm planning on getting the Lost version eventually. Also I'd like to have a +10 Bloodletter, +10 Lost Bowblade and +10 Evelyn. So that'd be 4 more Block Rocks in total. I have 1 Blood Rock I bought with insight and there's still one ones in mensis and the DLC I haven't picked up. I still have all of the DLC + all of the chalices to run through and taking a weapon from +9 to +10 is a pretty signifcant boost in damage, being that the Chikage goes from an A scaling in bloodtinge to an S.

>>144436573

>>144435634
>>144431371
Drop Vit and End slightly to get 25 Str if you're willing to get nourishing gems. 40 Vit is fine if you're not a scrub. KP has the same scaling as every other weapon.

For going through the game normal Wheel is fine and gems don't really matter all that much. Just don't spend a rock on it and replace it with Lost Wheel when you're at that point. If you're waiting until you can get the version of the weapon you want before using that weapon one an Arc-leaning StrArc build you'd have to go through base game unarmed.

>>144436382
https://www.mugenmonkey.com/bloodborne/17319

Use this. Lets you use all the skill weapons + both shields. The bt scaling on the reiter isn't really high enough to matter, so keep it at 10, as that's all you need to use the reiter. Also you can drop any amount of points out of end and place them in str for a meager damage boost on some skill weapons.

>>144436927
You actually have problems getting 60 insight for blood rocks? Just do pvp.

>>144437154
It's really just the waning slot that bothers me. If it had radial/radial/triange I could deal with the normal wheel because there are two nourishing gems in the base game, one being radial and the other triange. And then I would just use whatever +phys% gem I could find in the second radial slot. As it stands though I can't even think of waning gems from the base game that are nourishing or +phys.

I could always use the Lost HMLS until I get my Lost Wheel, as that's easy to get but I wanted to do as much content as possible using the wheel.

>>144437521
Looks pretty solid. I'll give it a shot and see how I like the Reiter.

Why did I listen to you guys and picked up the Rakuyo? I had better results with the Saif.

Stressing out about builds and gems (being a faggot, honestly) is what keeps me interested in the game, friend.

>>144438560
>you guys
It's just one fag spamming

>>144438560
It's really just the L2 that people love it/hate it for.

I finally fucking did it. Every fucking coop partner I summoned died.

>>144438713
But you're not stressing out about your build or the gems, you're stressing out about min-maxing for base game PVE. A +9 Wheel with poor gems can carry you through NG all the way to Lost Wheel then you can gem it up properly. No pain no fuss. Stop being dumb man.

It's fucking cancerous and I don't even like it. Now I have to rebuild my character again from scratch. I wasted one fucking point in strength.

You already have more End and Vit than you'll actually make use of.

What is the secret to parrying in this game? I can make it happen 4/5 times in Dark Souls but only about half that in Bloodborne. Pretty sure my timing isn't fucked, I'm shooting at the same point in the swing every single time.

>>144438487
He has Djura syndrome, but rather than protecting beasts he believes in punishing Hunters.

Likely he was an assassin for the Healing Church and now he's in the Hunter's Nightmare he just continues doing what he does best.

>>144439479
You want your bullet to connect with your enemy just before they hit you. Some attacks have shorter or longer parry windows than others. Test it out on the scrubs in Central Yharnam until you get the hang of it.

Or farm watchers for 2 insight while netting 1-2 chunks and chances at 27.2 temperings.

>>144440114
Logarius' Wheel, Hunter Axe, Amygdalan Arm, Saw Cleaver, Beast Cutter, pretty much everything except for one handed Bloodletter and Boom Hammer.

>>144440308
>Logarius' Wheel
Sadly don't have the Arc required to use it.
Isn't the Beast Cutter just a really bad version of the cane?

>>144439682
Those are fine, but all these hunters in the DLC seem to just poise through shots willy nilly before dropping my health to half.

>fight Amelia on a new game
>fuck her up so badly that there's 4901 damage displayed over her healthbar when she dies

>>144440478
Beast Cutter has higher AR, more range and more poise damage. It's very good against large bosses.

>>144440478
Beast Cutter is just the Cane but for STR builds and is probably even better.

>>144440579
Amelia is without question the easiest boss in the game. Whenever I make a new character, I always look forward to fucking her shit up.

>>144440493
Most of the Old Hunters are using the tricked Cuttah. The timing on it is weird since the wind-ups are longer than you'd expect then it just whips out at you. Practice on them more.

>>144440805
Actually the Witches are the easiest.
But if we're talking beast bosses then i'd say that BSB is the easiest on the basis that you can just walk around all of his attacks and get some easy backstabs.

>>144440478
>really bad version of the cane

Kek. Untricked it's just as fast but does more damage and has ridiculous staggering potential. Tricked it's a lot slower but has far more range and even more stagger potential. Cuttah is what the Cane wishes it could be.

Anyone willing to help with Orphan? Password is squid.

>>144440950
>you can just walk around all of his attacks

I remember the first time someone told me this, I had always thought BSB was easy just because of the enormous parry windows, then I find out you literally don't even need the dodge button to avoid the attacks, just walk to the left.

I still occasionally get grabbed when I'm being careless though, fuck that one shot bullshit

>>144441438
Lamp or fog?

>>144441438
>can't beat boss with crazy, tough to predict moveset
>let me throw a second target in so his movements become even less predictable

>>144441606
This. I personally always do worse against bosses when I summon since they becomes harder to predict.

>>144441592
Fog.

>>144441606
I've been fighting him for a couple hours and I just can't touch him in the second phase. Please don't make fun of me.

>>144439003
I killed them my first try, no summon

Just stay back and hit them occasionally

When you're level 120 and get SRRCed to the regular Pthumeru Chalice

>>144441763
He's generally considered the hardest boss in Soulsborne. Seems like the kind of guy you'd want to tough it out on just for the sake of personal pride.
Took me 3 hours personally but I eventually managed to beat him.

>>144442264
I've killed nearly everything else in the series solo. I dunno what it is, I can't get the hang of him - I've tried off and on since buying the game in January and still have never gotten through his second form.

>>144441763
When I first did it I was co-oping with a friend

It's easier with a phantom imo, in almost every single fight

You just have to play differently with phantoms, if one person needs to heal let the other phantom go in and try to distract the boss, don't both pile on the boss at the same time. Let your phantom take risks, if they die it's not as big of a problem since you can teleport out or maybe finish the kill solo

Hey, could I get some hot opinions on some slightly offtopic shit? Got PS4 last November and now the left stick is loose as shit and more deadzone than not. Pushing the stick all the way to the outside doesn't even get me to max walking speed. I turn so fucking slow may as well be using tank controls. They all wear out so quick or just my bad luck?

>>144442645
Try watching some of those videos of those super autismos killing him without rolling/dodging with bare fists at BL4 or whatever. It gives some ideas on which attacks can be exploited and which can't.
