Bait moves that get his head down and smack him on the dome, or if you're an arc build just throw brews or moonbeams at his head. When he gets to phase three, slip up under his crotch and wait for him to jump, then step over to a little past where the end of his tail was and he'll land right over you, and you can hit him on the chin once or twice depending on how fast your weapon is.

He's actually really easy once you get everything down, you just need to be patient.

I've been invading in Byrgenwerth, always 1 v 2s, and walking slowly towards the host and their summon.

Then doing the sheathe and unzip when they rush me.

I think the weapon is stylish, the blood on swings is really satisfying. I liked the HMLS for similar reasons.
>>
>>154786760
How do I get his head down? I have the tricked axe and he'll bring it down but just barely out of reach. I don't think I really figured that out the first time either, I think I just pounded his legs a bunch but that hardly does anything to this one.

Lady Maria fight is pretty fun. She kept wrecking my shit when I tried to parry spam, so I popped Old Hunter's Bone and fought her legit.

This game could have really done with a boss rush mode in one of the chalice dungeons or something.
>>
>>154787147
His arms take good damage, bait his swipe attacks, some leave leave him with his head down, but you have to be very quick
>>
>>154787147
It's all in the spacing. He only does certain moves when you're a certain distance away- or he's more likely to use them, at least. So you need to get at a distance where he'll use big slammy moves and then you get in with a running heavy, since the Axe gets an overhead if I'm remembering right.

>>
>>154787390
>>154787401
Hmm I'll just have to figure out that distance. It's easy to stay alive here if you're not trying to attack but with that stunted health he does hit like a truck if you fuck up. Thanks bros.

Dark Souls 2 is a fine game, it just isn't a Souls game.

If you're looking for something close to Bloodborne's quality though, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

DaS 2 does some things right and other things wrong. It's a fine game, but you shouldn't go into it with really high expectations.

>>154789528
Souls games are much, much slower. It's about pacing yourself, lots of patience and strategy. Bloodborne is moreso about reaction and thinking on the fly.

Repeater with bma still does around 600 on 8 bt,dmg might be higher after you wound his head. Phase three just sit back and shoot.

Hey guys, I want to recreate my DaS1 pvp build as much as possible, I know that the BB meta is different, and it's been a couple of months since I played so right now I bet what I remember is outdated as fuck, so I'd like some help.

Basically my DaS1 build went like this

Ricard's rapier (So Reitherpallasch is a must)
Pyro flame

Parry Dagger
Darkmoon talisman

Hornet's ring
Flip Ring


Black Flame to fuck with shields
WotG as a oh fuck button
Darkmoon blade because muh damage
Great Magic Barrier to tell magic users to fuck off

I had like 10 vit and the rest was in DEX/END/FAI to do as much damage as possible.

So as you can see I'd like to be able to deal as much damage with buffs, but also have magic to fuck with what people use the most (black magic, shields for example in DaS1).

Empty Phantasm Shell and Beast Roar to replace Darkmoon Blade and WotG I guess? I know that the Reitherpallasch allows you to be able to use other shit in your off hand since the trick mode lets you also parry, what could I use for utility then? Rosemary? Tonitrus?
>>
>>154791570
Oh shit, I was going to ask also, besides the Evelyn what is another good gun to use for utility? Like is the Blunderbuss good? or does the Loch Shield have any good uses in meta? Mybe Fist of Gratia even?
>>
>>154790254
Had to step away for a few to stuff a gyro into my face but shit, I may have to try this. After trying a few guns, I honestly kinda forgot about them because I just figured my stats are too shitty for them to matter. If I was wrong about that, great.
>>
>>154791710
Waste of Skin: 40/9/10/50/10/50 would leave you at 119. If you want to go lower you could take some points off of Vitality but I wouldn't recommend it. Hunter Pistol is still decent, you won't get much damage with it but it's better for parries than Blunderbuss in my opinion. If you want damage out of your guns then a BMA Repeating Pistol would do okay damage.

Only 9 END, am reading that right? Why so low? ISn't 40 the cap where you don't get more stamina points?
>>
>>154789303
goddamnit
i gotta go

good luck on the spelunk
>>
>>154792576
You don't need much Endurance, especially for something like the Reiter, because individual attacks and dodging need way less stamina than in Dark Souls. The only time you should increase it is if you're using a heavy weapon, and even then it's not entirely necessary.
>>
>>154792576
Yeah, Endurance isn't as important in this game as the others due to low stamina consumption and Stamina Runes. Best to put the points into damage instead.
>>
>>154792576
OP again realize I am trying to make a Dark Souls build here, that's why I am asking for advice.

Also I don't care much about vit since my DaS1 build had like 500hp, also I thought you die in 1 hit in BB anyways because of gems?
>>
>>154792651
No problem, thanks for joining me.
>>
>>154792768
I realize* fuck shit damn.

>>154792665
>>154792764
So I should go with the lowest I can? I'm not being memed on am I? Yeah I've played the game vanilla and with the hunter's cane I could play just well with base END.
>>
>>154792869
Yeah, only put points into End if you have nothing else to spend them on. Besides, you can get a 15% up Stamina rune from the base game and a 20% from chalices, so there's no need to have it higher than base, especially for pvp.
>>
>>154792869
You won't get one-shotted even with the best gems as long as you have 40-50 Vitality. Like I said before, low stamina consumption and stamina runes means Endurance is kinda useless, basically a luxury/dump stat. Vitality and damage is way more important.
>>

Okay so right now I've got

Noble Scion

7/8/9/50/50/46

Reiterpallasch
No idea

Evelyn
Whatever the fuck? Maybe Tonitrus

Old Hunter bone to replace ninja flip?
Beast Roar
Old phantasm Shield
Executioner Gloves for more oppresive offense?

Any other good "spells"? What's another good 2 hand weapon I could use with that much skl/btg/arc? Chikage and the other weeaboo katana?


Like I said I don't care much about HP, I want a glass cannon build, I want to have as much utility and deal as much damage as I can.

oh shit nigger what are you doing?

Only one weeb katana in the game. You're probably thinking of the Rakuyo, which is a pretty overpowered weapon. Consider putting some points into strength to use the HMLS, it's pretty powerful and though it mainly scales with strength, skill will do fine as well. Burial Blade is a pretty fun skill weapon, though its Arc scaling is shit and only exists to stop you from buffing it. Accursed Brew is great for combos with the glove.
>>
>>154793893
Kek it just doesn't have interesting moves. Unless, again, I'm doing it wrong. Which I could be!

Oh yeah HMLS, loved using that thing in DaS1, and this version is pretty rad, are the beams in this game good to fuck with people? I loved exploding people to make them fall off edges in DaS1.

It's all about how you use the weapons mang.

Alsop here's my waifu, did I do gud?
>>
>>154793893
Not that anon, but I'll give some input.

It isn't the moveset for me, definitely not that it's boring. I thought the weapon maybe was too slow for me, but I run around with a Kos Parasite so I'm not sure anymore.

>>154794061
>those complimenting green and red tones in the eyes and cheeks/lips respectively and the subtle brown-red of the hair
That actually looks real nice, anon. Love the colour theory there.
>>
>>154793664
Glass Cannon builds aren't as viable in this game as they were in the Souls games unless you were Twinking. Get Vitality to at least 40, don't bother with the Evelyn and 50 Bloodtinge if you want to work with Skill for Reiter and Arcane for Hunter Tools. Just do 40/9/10/50/10/50.

If you wanted really high damage then get 18 Strength for the Stake Driver and 50 Arcane to convert it to fire. Throw Oil Urns at shit and use the tricked charged R2s. Just don't be a goober and get sub-40 Vitality, we've had a couple in our FCs and they did real poorly.
>>
>>154794259
Wow man I didn't think anyone would notice the red in the hair from the quality of the image, yeah I spent a lot of time in my characters, thanks.

Also can I go up to 125 in this game also or should I stop at 120?

>>
>>154794373
But I really want to use the Evelyn anon...

Also I want to deal as much damage as I can with the stuff that I want, not just deal as much damage as humanly possible.

Also fuck it I'll try not to get hit, that's what I did in DaS1 anyways.
>>
>>154794501
Balls. Let me try reloading the area... Give me like ten secs and ring again
>>
>>154794560
>try not to get hit

I'm ringing as well and haven't gotten anything. I can AFK ring for a bit but he really is easier alone, especially if you're blt or arc.
>>

I will savor this pain.

Also does the HMLS explosions and shit still work even if you don't have fill the requirements ? Like do they knock people over? Can you even use it without the requirements?

50 Bloodtinge just for the Evelyn and some damage on Reiter shots is dumb when you've got Arcane tools. Just roll with the Repeating Pistol for damage instead. Convert whatever pure physical weapon to fire and throw oil urns if you don't want to use the Stake Driver, Rakuyo and Beasthunter Saif are some good options. The ol' "just don't get hit" meme won't work well here.

The bowblade is indeed very good, suffers a bit from the untransformed being a bit mediocre unless you go full 50 skl, but it is good. The arrows do a lot of damage and it is a really good weapon for ranged cheeses.

It is also very good against amgydala because he takes bonus damage to the head, and even more when his head breaks. A ranged weapon like the bowblade or the hmls R2 allows you to get as much hits in before he heals his head as possible

Kek I was killing him this past Saturday but he was definitely weird to fight. What weapon(s) were you using? Axe for me and I think my reach probably made his mobility less of an advantage for him. I'm a PvP newfag though so I might not even know what I'm talking about.
>>
>>154796292
I had the Burial Blade, think part of my problem was the fact that I couldn't one-shot him with any powerful attack cause shit gems, and Burial Blade has a deceptively small range. But I'm a newfag myself so I don't know.

Also the fucking phantom range on the wheel-dash.

>>154797136

PS4Pro won't give Bloodborne 4k 60fps because it's a multiplayer game.
>>
>>154797136
>>154797204
It won't. Multiplayer games will apparently not be supported by the PS4 Pro, presumably because it's a clusterfuck of interconnections between various machines and people's set ups, who fucking knows, but one of Bloodborne's core mechanics is a multiplayer/online function and as such will not be able to benefit from the upgrade.

50 BLT is a bad idea right?
I'm at 38 right now, having a lot of fun in PvE with Evelyn.

Sitting at BL 55, 20 vit, 8 end, 10 str, 20 skill, 38 BLT, 9 arcane.

Best stat distribution up to 98? Bowblade is kind of fun but I prefer having the evelynn available, but the rapier looks pretty fun as well.

Why are there two Ebrietas?

Either timey wimey Nightmare antics (despite Upper Cathedral Ward and Isz being in the waking world) or there's actually two of them and Ebrietas isn't a unique name like Amygdala.

so how exactly does Slow and Rapid Poison on Weapons through Blood Gems exactly work, several of my weapons have Slow Poison as a secondary effect, and I put two Rapid Poison gems on an Uncanny Saw Cleaver I recently found in a random Pthumerian Labyrinth I made, but the Poison effect never seems to activate, anyone know what's up with that?

God I hate this general.
>>
>>154806496
ADP literally increases the amount of invincibility frames in your rolls. If you have base ADP, you have less than a fat roll, so you have to level it up if you want your rolls to be effective.

anyone?

Tonitrus is not a fucking left-handed weapon you shit.

If you have the DLC, the Accursed Brew is good, it requires 30 arc though. It works like a molotov that deals curse.

There are no other good skl/blt weapons, but BoM is good for skil/arc, and so is the Burial Blade. I think you might enjoy them. I also like the Rifle Spear too, could work with your playstile as a ranged weapon with good area and long-distance thursts.

Don't bother with early poison gems that give like 4 or whatever. Most enemies have a bar like yours that'll proc them if you hit them enough, some enemies are purely resistant though.

Slow Poison is the poison you experience from Blood-Starved Beast and poison lakes. Rapid Poison is like Frenzy-lite and Bleed from the Souls games. Only gems that are worth using are ones that have +10-20, they stack. Logarius Wheel multi-hits are great for poison gems, Chikage tricked has 30 Rapid Poison so you can stack some Rapid Poison gems on it. Slow Poison is eh, better for pressure. Rapid Poison is better for damage.
>>

Alright, so I'm at defiled Amy and I know about the strategy where you bait him into jumping, but it's always so dangerous to get back behind him. I can bait him consistently sometimes, and other times I'll die from a stray foot stomp.

Anon, 7 VIT is not viable.

You end up playing so cautiously that the extra damage stats you have are irrelevant. Trust me, I have a character with a fully gemmed HMS (requires fighting FRC Amy) that has 10 VIT. I've won a total of one proper PVP match ever. And even doing PvE you waste so much time standing back that you'd kill stuff quicker with less damage stats and enough health to take a hit because you can get in there and do combo's. Rally mechanic doesn't do shit if your Already Dead.

Unless you are knowingly doing a meme-build, you need vitality. It's equally important as END was in DaS1.

It absolutely pains me that there will never be a bloodborne 2.

I absolutely loved this game, it had the best music, it had the best gameplay, it had the best atmosphere and ambience, it had the best boss fights everything about it was just so perfect. I even loved the challenge dungeons despite them making me want to kill myself.

>>154808802
The only weapon worth putting poison gems on is the Wheel, since a single multihit attack can proc it depending on thier armour and endurance (which means it's good against bbg players who all have 12 END).

It's always more effective to just use damage gems though, but poison can scare the shit out of people because no one ever uses it. You can tell when it's almost proced because they back off. I have a character with a poison wheel, for fun, but also a Flat Arc wheel and I switch once the opponent thinks they know what I'm doing. They won't mind trading hits with poison if they know it won't fill the bar, but they actually end up trading with 3 Flat Arcane gems each hitting 3 times.

So I opened up some character I hadn't used in months and it's a low-level Bowblade rush. I've got no idea anymore what I was gonna do with this character. I think I was probably gonna use the Bowblade and Chikage, but I don't know anything about either of them.

Anybody have the attack data like pic related for Bowblade and Chikage? Where did this picture come from, anyway?

What would be a good build for 'Blade and 'Kage? Base Skl, 50 Blt?

so what is the implication, oh wise one
>>
>>154816718
The meta here is 98, going to 117 to be on the absolute end of the invasion range of 98s is seen as a scummy move. You have 19 more levels over your opponents. Normally it's not a big deal because the benifits from those 19 levels are minimal. You're a shitter, but it's tolerable. More often than not, it just lets you use more things, and doesn't make any one weapon hugely better.

However, on a HMS build those points don't just add some endurance, or let you use a few more weapons by reaching requirements. Instead it gives you 111 extra AR. A 98 build vs a 117 build both using HMS is horribly unfair to the 98. You're a shitter with a huge damage increase, and it's just a really scummy thing to do.

I think you're missing the point. 117 builds are problematic in FCs, where everyone else agrees to certain standards and general ettiquete. Using a 117 build is within the parameters of the game, but against the etiquette of a bbg FC because of the innate advantages a 117 has over a 98.

That being said, HMLS builds are really the only ones that will make or break a fight based on level difference. Everything else just benefits from being able to use one or two more weapons, which is not a big deal.

That's the exact reason 117 was chosen. Outside of fightclubs no one gives a shit, you expect to find anyone in your level range and the whole spectrum of tactics including healing/running away/summoning help etc.., but fightclubs are meant to be fair and equal 1v1 fight.

>>154822418
80 was a popular meta outside of /bbg/ when our lord and savior crimson lava demon demigod-king lucifer invented the 98 meta

People started making 117s in order to have a hefty advantage against 98s in FCs while also being able to say "nah dude I'm definitely not at the upper end of the FC range! Look I'm 3 levels under it!"

You can make the argument that you want to be able to invade 98s outside of FCs and still be able to invade 150s while also allowing yourself to be invaded by 120s, but this is done by simply moving up to 100

Not to mention the fact that 98s were not only an extreme minority in the bloodborne playerbase, but they were also primarily used for invading, not hosting invasions, rendering the whole invading downward excuse somewhat moot
Ultimately, with how low of a chance you have to invade a 98 from your totally-not-120 character outside of a FC, it only looks as though you want the advantage without the old and somewhat outdated stigma of being 120
>>
>>154822993
NP. You can also look in the Weapon Data tab and it has scaling coefficients for all the weapons. And some other stuff on other tabs. Some of it's useful info, some of it's gobbledygook.

>People started making 117s in order to have a hefty advantage against 98s in FCs while also being able to say "nah dude I'm definitely not at the upper end of the FC range! Look I'm 3 levels under it!"

idk, this sounds made-up to me?

I mean, I played at 116 for a while. I liked 125, but the /bbg/ fc was 80-120. I figured I could stick to 120, but I'd get a bit more activity if I went to 116, since I'd be able to invade 98s as well as get invaded by them.

If I just wanted as much advantage over 98s as possible while staying within the 80-120 range, why go to 116/117? The best thing to do would be to go to 120 and just let people invade me.

117 exists because people prefer 120 over 100, but are willing to sacrifice 3 stat points in order to get more activity in /bbg/ FCs. It's no different than if you had BL 100 players in a 80-120 FC, and then some 120 players showed up.

Find me proof of connectivity having a priority based on proximity

If you're going to connect to someone in an FC within each other's invasion range, it's a tossup in regards to whether you'll be the invader or the host

As far as I'm aware, from the many times over the course of a year that I've gotten connection-locked against people outside of 98's range (sub-80s that I could not invade, and likewise 120s that could not invade me), all moving to 120 will do is eliminate the coin flip in terms of who is invading who, but if all you're after is fighting someone, it shouldn't make a difference

>>154824235
I don't think proximity affects priority, but it feels like being able to invade OR be invaded increases the rate at which you can get matches. At least, when I'm PvP'ing I will often get a flip-flop effect, where I'll invade, then be invaded, then invade, etc. If that's the case, then being in range to invade somebody will increase the activity you get.

I could be wrong about that, though. Maybe it doesn't make a difference, and all the 117 players might as well go 120.

I kind of like the idea of gemming up and running around with nukes that could 2 or 3 shot people in duels, it adds more uncertainty and high stakes to duels when you know one fuck up could cost you half your health. In invasions as well, vials are hyper fast so it's nice to be able to finish off people quickly.

That being said, I hate unlocking my inner Korean and being forced to slog through the CDs. I do like hitting >1000 on the HMLS though.
>>
>>154829051
Chikage is OP as fuck. It gets something like 1100 AR with good gems and that move in particular has a hitbox far bigger than the blood wave makes it look. It's also got something like a 1.5-2.something modifier on that attack. So take that 1100 and make it 1900.

But seriously what fucking nether dimension did I wake up in where """multiple people""" are complaining about gems?

Miyazaki did a horrifying damage to the franchise by enabling dueling in any shape or form and it's surprising that there's still people bitching about "competitive" BB pvp when it's barely possible and game only shines during random invasions.

It's always going to be Uncanny. The arcane damage on the Burial Blade is below mediocre. Even with 50 SKL/25 ARC, it just won't do much. If you're dead set on being able to use Hunter Tools, then go for it, but otherwise you'll get more damage out of the Burial Blade with 50 SKL/25 STR.

It's the weakest in the series by a long shot. It has the worst, clunkiest controls and combat. Shit enemy design, weapons feel floppy and weak, with stubby hitboxes and gigantic swing recoveries.

I fought NG Orphan once with 50 skill and Clawmark 2. The Rakuyo's untricked charge R2's range meant that it was a joke to get backstabs. Was one of the easiest fights I've ever had in this game.

You need to go all the way down to Great Pthumeru Ihyll. Pretty sure there's a better map earlier in the thread but here's another one showing the route down. You'll have to do all of Pthumeru, as well as the first Ailing Loran before Defiled.

That's a bummer 'cause after the MQ that's basically all the game has to offer besides co-oping boss x for the umpteenth time.

You might find a general type you like if you try them all (I'm quite partial to Isz and Hintertombs) and the Root layouts can actually get pretty interesting.

You're right, it is full of ghosts. As in, things that aren't alive anymore. And the servants are presumably just servants, not of the bloodline, or they'd all probably be dead too.

Annalise says it herself that there aren't any other Vilebloods. Why the dick would she lie about that?

Why is Loran Darkbeast so much stronger than Paarl? Can't tell what he's doing that's different.
>>
>>154883092
It's mostly just that he has way more health, so the break thresholds on his limbs are also higher.
>>
>>154883182
Yeah I guess that's it. I thought Paarl was a fucking clown but I think my level was a little on the higher side so now I see why someone lower would have had a tough time.
>>
>>154883092
All chalice versions of story bosses have inflated health.
>>
ATK down.
Bummer.
>>
>>154884534
Yeah that only makes sense, and damage too, I was just wondering if this nigger was doing something different. I'd forgotten how shitty the camera is in this one. Normally I think this game has a very good camera but it'll fuck you up against Paarl/this fag.
>>
>>154883316
Also the camera. Bloodborne's isn't any worse than most similar games, but it isn't any better either.

Large, fast enemies plus restricted spaces are something no action game has ever fully solved. Lot of them get around it with enemy AI that doesn't attack off camera; Bayonetta for example. Then you get your monster hunters where they DO attack off camera but the arenas are generally large and open.

FROM Software understands this. which is why Dark Souls III, say, has fewer places for you to fall off an edge by mistake. It's also why the largest bosses in Bloodborne (Rom, Amygdala, Paarl, Eribetrieas) get big, open arenas.

But because the Chalice Dungeons are pretty blatantly a combination of content they couldn't fit in anywhere else, oh look, fight all the gigantic bosses in much smaller rooms.

And it only exacerbates the issue when you factor in the buffed damage, health, and defenses they have--let alone Curse dungeons. Now the fight takes longer, with a smaller margin for error, in an arena where the camera is more likely to shit itself. That's *kind* of like making a more difficult version of the boss, right?

No, FROM Software. No, it isn't.
>>
>>154885175

Abyssal with Bold secondary, finally.
ATK Down.

I got an abyssal with bolt secondary and beast down for my second gem.
>>
>>154885591
christ. i understand playing the chalice dungeons if you like the game enough to go for plat but grinding out the perfect gems sounds like such a fucking chore

at this point even if i wanted to pvp i think i'd try and make do with whatever i had on hand. pursuing the perfect abyssal would just make me resent the game
>>
>>154885739
I just got three ATK downs in a row.

>>154886089
I only grind in co-op. The small social aspect is kinda fun, not nearly as tedious.
Solo I get through one or two runs before I get bored.
>>
>>154886089
I agree, anon. I could see doing a few chalice runs just to see if I found anything cool, because why not, but a lot of these dudes sound like they do it more hardcore than I ever could.
>>
Fire secondary.
Should I keep it?
I want bolt.
But it'd be like...3 AR difference.
>>
Man I am just not on my boss game today. Anybody bored?
>>
>>154886925
>it'd be like 3 AR difference

You can get up to 15 flat bolt. Flat fire is worthless on a bolt gem. Because of how defense works, it'll add 1 or 2 points of damage to your attacks against anything that isn't weak to fire. Anything that is weak to fire will take 2 damage more often than 1 damage.
>>
>>154887860
Yeah I wasn't thinking straight, just wanted to be done with it. Definitely need the bolt secondary.
>>
>>154887239
How bored you need? I'm bored enough to help with anything in the main game. But I'm not 'FRC chalice' or 'Orphan of Kos' bored.
>>
>>154889401
Kek Loran Darkbeast so yeah chalice but only the boss. I'll get him myself enough tries, I'm just sloppy this evening it seems. Actually just turned my shit off but I'll flip it back on if you want to jump in? No biggie.

I honestly can't see where he's attacking. Between the aggro switch and camera angles, I didn't know which end was his head.

but I have max Bolt resist now so let's fuckin' go

I can see where he's hitting better than I can see where I'm hitting, but it really is all a mess. I can't decide which is better/worse, locking on or not.
>>
>>154892897
When fighting solo I lock onto his head and kite backward.

Probably not a bad idea to unlock here. but if you're attacking from behind while he's aggro on me in the front, he might suddenly switch aggro and jump backward and swipe.
>>
>>154893078

Fuck.

>>154914168
It seems to get a huge boost from 50 to 70. Probably only good on pure-Arc ayy builds.

I think they ""balanced"" it on the idea that it can hit multiple enemies, so they didn't want each pillar to do too much damage.
They just didn't notice that they're spaced so damn wide that they'll never hit 99% of the enemy catalog more than once.

I'm worried that if it does happen, it might get shafted off to a side team or something.

What would you guys like to see in a potential sequel? I'd love to see improved online and build variety, as well as a different setting than Yharnam.

>>154915027
There are multiple beast hunts, so I could see it happen. It wouldn't make any less sense than a sequel to Dark Souls.

I mean, yeah the story might suffer a little, but I love the gameplay, lore and world too much not to want more.

>>154916512
Never tried it before. If it's as bad as I hear, I can always use Ludwig's.
>>
>>154916473
Well got it half right at least. As for the build, seems alright overall but the 25 arc won't do too much.
>>
>>154916594
It'll let me use Tiny Tonitrus, and will bring my Regular Tony to 100 Bolt damage. Should I just ditch the ARC altogether?
>>
>>154916570
I think it's better reserved for Blt builds, both Ludwig's and Piercing are pretty slow but it's your choice. 25 Skill would be more beneficial to the Whirligig, 25 Arcane is okay for any of the Str/Arc weapons. If you ditch the Blt you could start with Cruel Fate instead. Build's okay, 107 is an odd number though.
>>
>>154916673
I'd rather take arc to at least 50 and keep str on the base requirements for whirli. You'll be able to use Tony/Whirli with elemental gems and still and do more reliable damage with tools. Its a rougher farm though so you might prefer sticking with what you've got now.
>>
>>154916742
>25 Skill would be more beneficial to the Whirligig
Why? It only gets D SKL scaling.
>>
>>154916848
Whirligig gets nothing from 25 Arcane, and Skill still adds a decent amount of damage along with other Strength weapons. I'd go with what the anon said above, 25/50 is more common and let's you have better damage from Tiny Toni. 50/25 would be better for the physical side of Str/Arc weapons.

The one good thing I'll say about it is that it looks good. The lighting and textures and all that are actually pretty fantastic. The animations are Two Worlds-tier though.
>>
So I asked the other night, but nobody answered; the OP says two Radials and a Triangle is best for Blood. How does that beat out Radial, Triangle, Circular?
>>
>>154921806
I don't think there's Radial, Triangle, Circle. IIRC Lost is Radial, Radial, Circle. It doesn't matter if you're farming Off-Shapes really, get the version that has the shapes of your Off-shapes. Most people pick Lost cuz 31.5% Circles are way more common than any other shape, but you won't always get two Radials before getting a Triangle or Waning.
>>
So I'm finally giving in and buying a PS4 and Bloodborne today. Anything I should know before going into this game?
>>
>>154922857
Leveling Vitality first makes the early parts of the game a breeze. End game you'll want to get 40-50 Vitality. Endurance is a luxury stat so you can ignore it, if you feel you'll need more then 15-20 is what I'd recommend with a Stamina Rune. Quality is common for first playthroughs since Bloodtinge and Arcane are more complicated, difficult early game, and require lots of farming.

For Quality you'll want to start with Military Veteran. Get Strength and Skill to 25 before going any higher, decide which path you like the best and get one to 50. Don't forget to use Physical gems, elemental gems are useless on non-Arcane builds. Fire/Bolt Paper for Physical builds.

Bloodtinge and Arcane should be reserved for another playthrough, but depending on what weapons you like you could level them up a bit to reach the requirements. 10 Bloodtinge for Skill builds opens up 3 weapons, 10 Arcane allows Strength builds to use the Logarius Wheel. 15 Arcane opens up a couple of non-scaling Hunter Tools which are basically spells and the Holy Moonlight Sword from the DLC, which is great for Strength builds on the physical side (moonbeams will be shit with sub-25 Arcane).
>>
>>154922676
>Lost is Radial, Radial, Circle
Ah, right.

Well it's just that in the OP it says that Radial Radial Triangle is best for blood, but physical gems cap at 27%, where as circular get up to 31. Just wondering if there's something I'm missing.

Incidentally, who wants to help me kill Logarius in a few minutes?
>>
>>154923726
The only thing you're missing is that when you use the lost chikage you lose 27.2% untricked/ a few tricked attacks for an extra 4.3% damage.
It's definitely worth it, especially if you grab 2 off-shapes to take that bonus to 12.9%.
The bowblade actually does have a lost form with radial triangle circle, and while I'm not a fan of actually using the bow in pvp since it's basically a slightly stronger but unable to parry gun without access to the sword form, so I would recommend going regular for the bow unless you're at base skill requirements.

He just always, always catches me in an endless loop of that jump-straight-up-and-plunge attack. No matter how I try to dodge it almost always hits me, and the fight always becomes an unwinnable pattern of 'land a hit, plunge attack, land a hit, plunge attack'.

Honestly this game and the dlc for it are probably the greatest things from has produced since dark souls 1. None of the weapon feel boring, the areas and the story are awesome and surprising and the goddamn music is a masterpiece.

Hell, even chalice dungeons are a better approach than dark souls 3s go through the same game three times to get the best rings.
>>
>>154954057
Runes are simply buffs you can apply to your character, such as holding more bullets, more vials, having more stamina or health, visceral attacks doing more damage, and a bunch more. You have to get the Rune Workshop Tool from the room after boss in Hemwick Charnel Lane. You can have three at any time and can switch them up at any time, plus special Oath runes, which are this game's covenant. They really are that simple, just buffs for your character. There's generally three tiers, for instance with the stamina ones, you can get +10, +15 and +20 stamina ones.

Normal, Lost and Uncanny relate to weapons, and all this means is each type of weapon has different gem slots, and Blood Gems are not Runes, Blood Gems are buffs for weapons. Some have more advantageous gem slots than others, that's the only difference. For instance, the Uncanny Kos Parasite has better gem slots than the Normal and Lost versions.
>>
>>154955008
Yeah I meant blood gems not runes, fucked up. Still, the question stands. Best version that has best gem slots for physical on claws?

>>154955320

picked this game up for $20 at Target. Never played a From game or a horror game before.

What am I in for?
>>
>>154959760
One of From's best games.

You're in for a great experience, anon. But, please get the fuck out of the general before you get spoiled.
>>
>>154959760
A very good game.

Some quick tips for maximum enjoyment:
>Explore every single nook and cranny, always look twice around any given area before moving on.
>Don't do Bloodtinge or Arcane first playthrough.

Now get out of here before you get spoiled, this game is best played blind.
>>
>>154959760
You're in for alot of forgetting what you know about most action games in general and learn the rules of the game before you get pissed off and realize the playing field isn't even.
>>
>>154959760
It's easily one of the best AAA titles released in the last few years. You're going to probably have quite a difficult time in the first area learning the mechanics of the game, specifically the pace of combat.

It's sort of counterintuitive in that if you take damage from an enemy, you'll want to hit them back to heal up. Which doesn't mean be reckless about it.
So ideally, if you take a hit you don't just back off and play passively, you'll run out of vials and be picked off. Don't play recklessly and swing at everything, hoping to heal any damage you take. Weave in and out and you'll be a killing machine.

Also, play blind, not knowing what you're doing. So leave the general until you're absolutely stuck.

Since you haven't played Demon's or Dark Souls, dying is a huge part of the experience and don't quit the game out of frustration. You'll get there, and it'll be fucking satisfying when you do.
>>
>>154959760
It's not so much a horror game as it is horror themed, it's an action game through and through, except for one area which is genuinely fucking creepy.

This game is about speed, aggression and being stylish. You will die a lot, but that's supposed to happen, it's a learning process. You have all kinds of weapons on hand to get the job done and survive with. Don't worry about builds and stuff for now, just level what you think is appropriate and comfortable. I'd recommend playing with Strength-based weapons since they're powerful as fuck, but if you find something cool, go for it!

And if the beasts loom large and threaten to crush your spirit, set a password, post it here and ring your beckoning bell, a fellow hunter will be there to fight alongside you.

Also, EXPLORE, explore every nook and cranny, go back to previous areas, talk to previous people, you'd be suprised what you can overlook.

Lastly, leave this general lest ye be spoiled, and have fun!
>>
>>154959760
You're really lucky, man. You're about to play Bloodborne for the first time. No spoilers. No guides.

I'd kill to be able to experience it for the first time again.

Anyways, don't level endurance too much. It's not that important. Explore and you will be rewarded, anon. Also, get the DLC as well, because it makes an amazing game even better.

Happy hunting!
