what are some must use "spells" for a arcane build
>>
>>157085360
BSE, EG, Augur

Sometimes Accursed Brew for crowds.

Sometimes A Call Beyond for huge bosses.

>>
>>157085520
no

parasite fists for life
>>
>>157085360
Blacksky Eye is godlike, Accursed Brew is good for crowd control, Executioner's Gloves dohuge stagger, Augur floors things and can parry/backstab, Beast Roar is a nice "get off me" move. The others are largely not worth it, though they have their uses.

They're pretty fun to explore once you complete your build.

That being said, anybody got some crazy FRC glyphs?
>>
>>157086028
Depth 5 is fun but fuck 1-4.
>>
>>157086189
No, Accursed Brew has the same amout of damage but consumes less bullets. It also hits multiple enemies at the same time.
There's no point in using EG instead of Brew unless you're fighting a very large enemy and want to target its head.

Cruel Fate: 40+/12/10/9/5/50 for a base Arcane build. Decide to get 25/12+ Str/Skl for Str/Arc or keep pumping Arcane for Pure Arc.

Military Veteran: 40+/10+/14/15/50/6 for a base Bloodtinge build. Decide to get Str to 28 for Str/Blt or Skill to 25 for Skl/Blt but honestly 25 Skl isn't much different than Pure Blt with 15 Skl.

Low stamina consumption and fast refill. As long as you have a Stamina Rune you should have enough stamina for dodging and attacking. 15-20 if you feel that you'll need more.
>>
>>157086684
AB does like 1.5x BSE damage for twice the bullet cost. It's only worth it if you need to hit multiple targets at once.

If they were to make a sequel or a "spiritual successor" with the same combat system, what changes would you wish they made ?

I would like to see something that stops gun spamming, perhaps introducing the need to reload, with some guns being stronger and weaker depending on the capacity, with a reload animation playing when you push the shoot button when you run dry. It slows you down to a walk for it's duration and you can dash out of the very end of the animation for a short cancel.

That and the return of the double barrel shotgun.

Is the Cainhurst Set something from real life or is it fairly original? I know the helmet, at least, is taken from an Italian parade helmet.

>>157100085
Most of the fashion in the game is inspired by real life fashions, tricorns, long coats, top hats and shit, all real, but maybe not AS stylized as some of the sets are. I wouldn't be surprised if the concept artists, having probably worked on previous Dark Souls games and probably knowing a thing or two about some historical armours, based the Cainhurst stuff off real world armour.

Also, post that helmet if you have a pic.

Same as the difference between repeater and a regular pistol
2 bullets, extra damage and pellet count compared to the blunderbuss, maybe 25-30 pellets instead of the 15 it regularly has with a wider spread, and a longer recoil on par with the piercing rifle

And of course the biggest difference, my dick would be rock fucking hard every time I squeeze L2

It'd probably be like a Blunderbuss version of the Reapeting Pistol, costs 2 bullets but does much higher damage and looks really cool.

That's the tenuous part, and also the game practically interupting itslf to tell you where to go next. Although Fromsoft's excellent level design leads you very naturally from the Cathedral Ward to Old Yharnam (which itself is well is good), the instructions you've been given thus far by the game have revolved around reaching the locked-off Grand Cathedral. You explore, of course, because the game encourages exploring, and eventually find yourself in Old Yharnam. You suspect this will probably somehow loop back to the Grand Cathedral in some fashion since you're playing a video game and everything has a "Reason" to exist, but there's no obvious reason to head down there from the Cathedral Ward besides it being the only place you can go. Now if you report to the Hunter's Dream you can 1.) talk to Gherman and/or 2.) purchase the Hunter Chief's Emblem, but Gherman's talk of the chalice makes it sound more like a sidequest than something required to progress, and the Emblem being an optional "Dream" purchase makes it smack of sequence breaking - not that there's anything wrong with sequence breaking, but on a first time playthrough you're likely looking for the "Proper" way to enter the Grand Cathedral rather than paying money to unlock it.

Once you defeat the BSB down in Old Yharnam, the door to the Healing Church's Workshop in Oedon Chapel mysteriously "Opens." There is no environmental connection between these two locations, nor any reason why defeating the BSB should suddenly open a door somewhere else for no reason. You can talk to Gherman who tells you about the workshop, but that seems to have nothing to do with the task you've just accomplished, so it comes off as jarring. Simply leaving a key on a dead body in the BSB's chamber would be enough to clue you in without the game having to tell you directly.

BB's level design and careful control of information is really quite good and the vast majority of the game leads naturally from one area, one goal, to another, but this is the one place where they don't do a good job of it.

I don't know, actually. I've been playing the game for the first time coming off of DeS, DaS, and DaS II and these are my thoughts on what I'd change/fine-tune for a sequel.

Not in the slightest bit.

Have you honestly never played any of the gorillion RPGs that have points where you HAVE to grind/pay/etc. to progress? Bloodborne is unusual in allowing you to avoid paying the toll.

Jesus Christ anon at least fucking finish the game.

There are 8 mandatory boss fights, only 7 if you're on NG+, 70% of the game is optional sidequests, and that includes old Yharnam AND the Oedon Chapel.
>>
>>157107156
I've played many games that did stuff like this - including DaS, which did it before BB with the Crest of Artorias. There's nothing wrong with including something like the emblem in the game, but here are two points to consider: firstly, the Dream itself, up to that point, is presented as something "Separate" from the rest of the world. The emblem, then, is not something that exists within the world itself, but as something "Outside" of it, used to circumvent an in-world obstacle if you either can't or won't do it yourself. Secondly, the game itself has prepared you up till that point upon encountering locked doors to look for keys OR to look for ways to open them "From the other side," and as I said the level design and Gherman's comments lead you very naturally through the Cathedral Ward down to Old Yharnam. You can skip all that, of course, much like you can skip the Cleric Beast, but it's obviously intended to be most people's first time experience going down to Old Yharnam.

The only two comments you made that I do agree with are:
>the link between defeating the Blood-Starved Beast and accessing the Healing Chuch's Workshop is tenuous at best
and
>NPCs should be held to the same constraints as the player
Everything else you said is varying degrees of nonsense, and I'm pretty sure you know that.
>>
>>157107954
No, and in fact I praised that very thing and said a bit more openness would be nice.

What I criticized was the game's own attempts at linking progress in Old Yharnam to accessing the rest of the Cathedral Ward, which the game achieves but very clunkily and not to the same standard as almost everything else in the game.

When I first beat the BSB I thought to myself "I guess I'll go talk to Gherman about what to do with this chalice thing since this place deadends and doesn't loop back to the Cathedral Ward," only to be told by Gherman "Oh yeah there's a workshop you can just access now, go do that." It sticks out in a game that's otherwise very good at leading you around/letting you wander from one important location to another.

>>157107984
I'll respond to you in a second post since this'll be too long otherwise anyway.
>>
>>157108409
You're complaining that they're only tenuously related, but THEY AREN'T RELATED. The door opening after BSB is just a gameplay mechanic. The game doesn't spell out that Snatchers show up once you kill BSB either, but you don't seem to have a problem with that.

>Blood vials and bullets
Needing to farm blood vials interupts the flow the game when you run short and feel the need to farm them (as you probably do if you're running short), and having them replenish in the field (often from enemies who always drop them) reduces the economical aspect of healing introduced by Dark Souls where you have limited heals you need to make count.

I'm okay with bullets being finite since they're a weapon to be used and I'm fine with the cost their benefit requires.
>Scaling starts to matter sooner
Obviously scaling matters throughout the game since some weapons have good scaling or bad scaling early on, but it's not until +7 and the late game that scaling starts to really matter and improve. I just think more weapons should improve scaling at +4 rather than +7
>Flexibility
I don't think I need to say anything here.
>Running
Yah'hagul's constant summoner spam makes fighting your way through that area tedious. Yes, you can kill them, but it's still tedious to do every time.

Mensis isn't so bad except for the spider enemies who just aren't worth your time. They're annoying to fight, drop nothing good, and can be skipped.
>Bigger
I don't think I need to say anything here.
>NPCs
BB has some good NPCs but also some lackluster ones, and none of the questlines outside one or two really grabbed me. It has better NPCs than DaS2 but worse NPCs than DeS or DaS1. I don't think that's too brazen to say.

This one I'll admit is entirely my opinion and preference but I haven't liked the Chalice Dungeons much, nor do I care for the sort of game design they represent. I'd rather have a few more core areas to explore than their sequential generation, and most of them are either boring and simple or frustrating but for boring reasons (like stuffing a room full of bell ladies summoning infinite swarms of spiders).

This has been a constant area of back and forth throughout the series. When From delivers here, they give us some great fights, but they don't always deliver, and I found both Shadows and Rom kind of tedious - not difficult, tedious.

It's about internal consistency of the game world and the logic therein, which these games are usually very good about. FromSoft makes serious attempts to make these worlds feel believable and lived in with geometries and grounded rules that make sense. If there's a door, there must be a key. If it doesn't open from this side, there must be a long way around to unlock it.

Your long-term goal, given to you at the start of the game, is to "Transcend" the Hunt. You don't know what this means just yet, but you have some guesses, and you're told by a helpful NPC (Gilbert) that the answers you seek may be in the Grand Cathedral of the Cathedral Ward, which becomes your immediate short-term goal (which, in your mind, will hopefully lead to accomplishing your long-term goal as well). When you finally get there, you see that the cathedral is locked off, so you go exploring. You find another NPC (Alfred) who gives you another lead, Byrgenwerth, and tells you it's beyond the forest. You don't know how to access the forest just yet, but nevermind that. So far the game's been pretty kosher about controlling information and letting you realize on your own where to go and what to do there.

Stop doing this. Go back to twitter.

>>157112223
(2/2)

The Cathedral Ward leads down into Old Yharnam, which if you don't buy the emblem is the only route to take. Maybe you go down there thinking it'll lead to Byrgenwerth (which you just learned about), or that you'll find some means of opening the gate to the cathedral, or maybe you've talked to Gherman in the Dream and he told you about the chalice and that interests you. Even so, the chalice is a side thing and your goals are still to access either the cathedral or the school.

You can buy the emblem at this time and just head for the cathedral now if you wish, but let's ignore that for the sake of argument.

So you go to Old Yharnam but it's a dead end, though at least you got the chalice out of it. With no leads, one of two things happens.

1. You backtrack, seeing if you missed anything, only to find the open door in Oedon Chapel. But why is it open? How were you supposed to know to come here, that killing the BSB would open this door? You found it just backtracking, wandering about. You check it out and it leads to progress, but you had a moment of "Well what do I do now?"

2. You visit Gherman, probably to ask him about the chalice, and he tells you to check out the Workshop and where to access it out of the blue, but doesn't give you a key or anything. You return to the chapel and see the door is open. Did defeating the BSB open the door? Why? Why couldn't it have always been open? Why wasn't there a key to find.

Again, these games are usually really good about leading you where you need to go and letting you deduce where you need to head next. To find the workshop and progress through it, you either discover it randomly, or need to be told explicitly by the game "Go to this place and do this thing you can arbitrarily do now becasuse reasons," in a game that otherwise has a very logical progression behind everything.

I don't mind the snatchers because they're not tied to making progress through the game in the same way.

If somebody wants to read it, they'll read it. If you don't want to, don't. I'm one asshole in a thread full of assholes on a board full of assholes. I've only said this much because you (or others) kept the conversation going.

In any case, I'll end with this, and maybe this is all I should've said from the beginning: I dislike obvious quest markers and BB is mercifully almost entirely free of them...EXCEPT for Gherman telling you about the chalice, then telling you about the workshop. In a game full of natural little nudges and smooth transistions and solid level design, Gherman breaks all of that to tell you where to go in a way that sticks out and doesn't mesh the same way everything else does, and From could've easily fixed it. The end.
>>
>>157113495
"Go check out Old Yharnam" is exactly the kind of little nudge you're saying it should be. Do you even remember what he said?

The Crestfallen Warrior flat out fucking tells you "Go to the Undead Parish and Blighttown and ring the bells". By your logic the whole series is broken.
>>
Bend the knee.
>>
>>157113648
Being explicitly told to check out Old Yharnam is unnecessary since the game's geometry leads you down there anyway, Gherman's dialogue just confirms there's an additional prize to be had down there. If they just had him talk about the chalices in an abstact way without mentioning locations, you'd still head down there of your own accord and find it.

The Crestfallen Warrior isn't a proper comparison since you still have some idea what to do even without him thanks to Oscar (verses having to backtrack and stumble into the workshop on your own without Gherman telling you about it), the conversation is more natural introduced and better contextualized as another fellow adventurer sharing information you might reasonably want to know (verses Gherman suddenly talking about the workshop out of the blue), and it's at the beginning of the game telling you WHAT you need to do verses being in the middle and telling you HOW to do what you need to do.
>>
>>157114118
Gehrman is leading and manipulating you with limited information. His task is to guide you so of fucking course he does. Gilbert tells you to go to the Bridge, and unless you backtrack and stumble around lost he'll never tell you to take the aqueduct to get to the Cathedral Ward instead.

I used to love the Rakuyo and found the Saif awkward (especially the tricked R1 dash), but I rushed to the Saif on my most recent build to have something to use until later on when I could get Rakuyo/Church Pick etc and absolutely love it.

>>157118897
Stand in front of it and move in and out intelligently to bait slam attacks that make it lower its head, then run in and attack its head.

Do this until phase 3 when it rips off two of its arms to use as cudgels, then run in and stand between its feet. It will try to stomp you and jump on you, both of which telegraph and are easy to dodge. Pick a leg and attack it until it's crippled, then keep attacking it for decent damage. Hit it until it dies.

>>157129792
Wait for him to finish a combo, then run in and get a hit or two.

In the second phase, the safest time to move in to attack is while he's spitting lava. Run at an angle and it's easy to dodge.

Do you guys use any other bloodgem location guides aside from what's found in the OP?
I'm trying to get flat damage gems that aren't ARC but can't find anything useful. In the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1syKnSKflHbFiGY4pXkfIeXoMa2Lp9X1aXyme2qaTen4/htmlview?sle=true#) there's some useful ones, but they're all waning gems only.

I could try for off-shape farming, but particularly with the flat bolt, it comes from a chest. I'm not sure you can get off-shapes from chests.
>>
>>157138693
You can get off-shapes from chests, I've gotten a +70 Flat Arcane Waning from an Isz chest.
>>
>>157138804
>You can get off-shapes from chests
Well, I'll try savescumming and report back if I get lucky.

What would BBG say is the worst PvE weapon in the game?

Was thinking of doing a BL4 run and realised the Saws are godly and wanted to make it harder (and more fun) by grabbing 2 levels and using the BoM instead.
>>
>>157139074
Fists only
>>
>>157139145
I'm not fighting Orphan/Laurence/Ludwig with fists only. I'm not THAT good.
>>
>>157139252
>>157139074
Worst PvE weapon depends on the boss. Are you upgrading weapons or are you keeping them at +0?
>>
What's better as a fire serrated weapon, saw cleaver or beast cutter?
>>
>>157139408
Upgrading. I've already beaten Ludwig at a low SL with a fiery +5 saw spear and that was challenging enough.
>>
>tfw the first time I fought ludwig I had no idea about the nightmare church lamp, so I fought that hunter and his crow army every goddamn time
>>
>>157139548
I prefer Saw Cleaver for its speed, but the Saw Spear is even better.
>>
>>157138345
This is why FRC spelunking is so fun. I've yet to encounter a hole digger enemy, but the things you find are spectacular. I didn't even know Hotdog and HMPH could appear as mobs.

I wish Fromsoft could add more rare events in the dungeons. The sense of exploration is well done, and maybe there really are more boss mobs that we've yet to see.

Guidance 30% when?
>>
>>157139932
I guess it's just a difference between speed and range. Currently have cleaver and a lost beast cutter at +6 so I can at least switch the gems around and play with both. Also have the kirkhammer that I'll probably put an arcane gem onto when I get one

There is an ultra rare item that nobody found, it's called Revered Great One Coldblood.
We only know about it because it's in the artbook.
>>
>>157129713
70 is best. Tiny Tonitrus and ACB stop scaling at 70.
>>
>>157138897
Ok, I have confirmed that you can in fact get off-shape gems from chests.
>>
>>157140407
They keep scaling past 70.

>>
>>157139074
Depends on usage.
The stakedriver is absolute garbage without pulling off a charged R2. It's got short range and its transformed moveset doesn't change much.
Blades of mercy, also pretty shitty for PvE since they're split damage and short reach. But they do have S scaling.
Tonitrus on anything that isn't kin is a piece of shit.
Kos parasite without milkweed.

Though honestly, if you want a lvl 4 to be more challenging:
Use the threaded cane in tricked mode ONLY
>>
>>157140725
What do you mean, off shape?
>>
>>157140934
A gem that is a different shape than normal.
Fighting Isz watchers and getting a waning gem for example instead of a tri.

>>157140260
Has anybody discovered a use for the ring yet?
>>
>>157141057
Yes, proposing to Queen Annalise and getting the cold shoulder.
>>
>>157140260
Revered GOC and Guidance 30 are widely regarded to be nonexistent, since everything else has been found and documented multiple times so far.

It's generally assumed they forgot to make these items actually spawn anywhere.

Some people tried blaming reddit for having a "revival" event since the thread turned the shitposting to 11 around that time, but I highly doubt that would've actually brought anyone over here from reddit.

Yep, and the scaling ramps up after 80 for a lot of them.

Parrying the host's heal and killing him with a visceral while his buttbuddies helplessly mash R1 at you is the best feeling.

What level is too high for Forbidden Woods invasions? eg. at what level will I stop getting constant invasions and have to actually wait a while
>>
>>157142557
Probably 70+, but I wouldn't be surprised if you still get plenty of action.
>>
>>157142557
I just that ganker a couple times at BL57. I was getting him before at BL45, which, assuming he hasn't leveled up, puts him somewhere between BL43 and 82. I would be very, very surprised if he was any higher than BL50 though, and I have a hard time believing anyone not in NG+ goes through there at any higher than 50.
>>
>>157142698
I never know what level "people" are at different areas anymore since I'm always just working towards a build and leveling in huge chunks instead of gradually.
>>
>>157142557
>>157142954
Which is to say I think you probably shouldn't level past 65.
>>
During which Ng cycle does this actually become difficult?
>>
>>157144956
+8
>>
>>157144956
The difference between NG cycles is negligible until you reach +3, then you'll start to notice.
>>
>>157144956
With 27 % gems never.

You're going at a good pace, anon. Practice makes perfect. The smooth and clear lines you used are really working to your advantage, and you have a good grasp on them.

Yes, I also tried coloring but I still suck at it.
Digital painting used to be my main thing, but since my tablet broke two years ago I started practicing with ink and pencils.
I miss my tablet but I can't get a new one at the moment because I live in a desolate place where they just don't sell them, and I don't want to import one from the internet because I would like to try it before making such an important purchase.
It's a shame because since then Bloodborne became my favorite drawing subject, and there are so many /bbg/ themed images I wanted to make.

Is there a single worthwhile backstep-R1 or backstep-R2 in the game?

Backstepping in general has just been so worthless the entire series...

It's more for style, Ravioli stepping makes them a bit more easy to land.

>>157153846
Tricked Threaded Cane, both backstep R1 and R2 are thrust attacks with very long range.
Wheel and Bloodletter also have good attacks.

Are you fucking crazy?
Executioners destroys Amygdala.
Tiny tonitrus ruins any kin, including ebreitas.
Blacksky eye is great for everything to spam at range.
Augur sets up easy backstabs and parries with 2 handed weapons and also decent damage.
A call beyond does massive damage with high ARC to practically everything.

>>157177565
Executioners destroys pretty much anything

cast cast bloodbullet, cast cast blood bullet, cast cast retreat heal

Not him, but is Executioner's gloves still good at base use ARC as a harassing/positioning tool, even though it does shit damage? I've never tried using them on non-dedicated ARC builds before

Is there any strategy on how to deal with Laurence's once he starts losing his legs?
i am trying to defeat him with beast claws only but he keeps fucking me up.

also noticed today something interesting during my battle with maria, when she stabbed me o death with her final edgelord form she literally grabbed me by the balls and ripped off something from the armor i wore. do other bosses do similar stuff like this?

It's the Evelyn but slower.

It's also way sexier though so there's that.

The main purpose is the piercing bit; the bullets don't stop when they hit something.

There's some weird situations where that's extra useful like shooting One Reborn's body-head through his bodies-body, getting two hits in.

Not on the Parasite it doesn't. Base AR is so low that flat beats out even Abyssal scaling by a lot.
>>
>>157193989
The Kos Parasite has low AR, but high modifiers on its attacks.

Flat damage is not modified; that's why it tends to suck on the KP for just about everything except the L2 nuke.

Regardless:
>>157194098
>he assumes I'm using Milkweed instead of some silly karate chopping nonsense build
>>
>>157194180
There's no math to be done. It's an incredibly simple idea, in fact.

Flat damage is always added at the very end of the formula, before enemy defenses, but after gems. But, the AR screen displays everything, including the flat damage. It doesn't mean that the entirety of the AR is to be modified, though.

There's a pastebin in the OP for the formula. Just give it a quick glance.

>>157194306
You do you, anon.
>>
>>157194306
If you're not doing a Milkweed build then I have no idea what's better. I'm still guessing not flat, but I don't assume it has those same x2.0+ modifiers.

>>157194551
>There's no math to be done. It's an incredibly simple idea, in fact. Blah blah blah blah

Milkweed has jumbo modifiers so is better with percents. Fists have shit modifiers and shit AR so flat is better.

I can level myself up to 40 right now, and I'll probably cap myself there until endgame.

Should I pump everything into STR, put a few points into END, or add some BLT?

I use Steak and Boom, default pistol and torch (I'd really like to use the stone knuckleduster but I either have to give up PARRYING or LIGHT for that so I can't)
>>
>>157200743
I'd just pump VIT at that point, maybe a couple END.

Extra Str or a little BLT won't have a huge effect, but 10 vit can make a huge difference late-game.

not any of them, but base end is more than enough for whatever you do....
>>
>>157201442
Giant bug-looking bosses don't bother me nearly as much, probably because it's such a common thing to make a scary freaky boss out of.

It's when games have giant spiders or cockroaches that create a lot of ambient hissing noise or just a many-legged human-sized bug attacking me that I start to freak the hell out.

I had a hard time playing MINECRAFT at first because of the hissy spiders in it.

>>157201457
Either get enough health to survive a hit or don't get hit.

I find the most reliable strategy is to stay a medium distance in front of him to bait those sideways head lunges, and get one hit on the head in each time. Once the head breaks you do tons of bonus damage, and if you get the spacing right he'll rarely do that annoying dash attack that usually OHKOs.
>>
>>157201512
>but base end is more than enough for whatever you do

Well a fully charged boom/steak R2 will leave me with no stamina currently. What's the minimum amount of END I need to be able to do a fully charged steak R2 but still be able to dodge once its animation is done?

>>
>>157202202
I don't get the mindset. This isn't Dark Souls; you're rewarded for being hyper-aggressive, and with high stamina you can just endlessly shred things to pieces. With base END you do a 4-hit combo, back off and wait to recover, repeat.

Finally got to see this glitch in person.

For your legitimate mental comfort, I feel I should warn you there are giant ass spider enemies later on in the game and in the chalice dungeons. I have pretty bad arachnophobia myself, so from one phobic to another, there's some shit later on you might want to have a co-op partner through.

Okay how the fuck do I get a safe hit on hotdog in phase two when his headswips become unpredicatble?
>>
>>157204328
They're not unpredictable. Git gud.

Also you don't have to. Once he heals his head you might as well break his legs for bonus damage there. By the time you've broken one after his head he ought to die.

>>
>>157204575
>It's random whether or not he will do a follow up strike
It's not. Of three or four head swipe variations only one has the follow up that you can't dodge out of if you whiff the swing.

>>157204575
>Then I don't have reach with the Ryakuyo to get a hit.

lmfao, you are a retard.

>It's random whether or not he will do a follow up strike,

if you have shit reaction then just wait for the last one that combo has of the phase


if you manage to break the face, then he will do the full combo

I found Ludwig yesterday, it doesn't feel as hopeless as some other fights I had before. I tried maybe like 3-4 times and couldn't even get to his second phase (he has one, right?), but it's an awesome boss.

How many tries did it take for you to beat him? Did you have any help with him?

It took me about four hours my first time. He does have a second phase, and there's one attack that I'll never forget which destroyed me the first time I saw it and then never hit me again, but I don't want to spoil too much.

Now he's my favorite boss.

BB PvP is less technical as near as I can tell.

Or, that is to say, the technical ceiling is lower.

Interrupting is imprecise, and made even more so by latency, many, many of the weapons do not have PvP-viable combos beyond R1,R1 (which isn't to say that DaS3 improves upon that much, if at all), and builds are generally relegated to big numbers at small BL, whereas the Souls games have always had varying degrees of poison and other kinds of stat ailment fuckery.

Now having said that, it isn't as though BB PvP is bad. Weapons like Saif, HMLS, Beast Cutter, and Saw Cleaver all have great varying, technical movesets.

I just think DaS3 might offer something closer to concise, technically consistent PvP, at a pace more manageable for the normal level of latency. If even only marginally.
>>
>>157208618
i'd disagree with you, but i respect your opinion.

i'm not the guy you're replying to, but i'd say that BB is at least a few levels above DS*

it honestly probably just comes down to personal preference though.
>>
>>157208618
>>157208771
He makes fair points, but remember that outside of le honoraburu duels next to Pontiff, DS3's PvP is a clusterfuck of stunlocks and easy (unparriable) healing, making invasions worthless, unlike Bloodborne.
>>
seriously though how much stamina does a fully charged stake driver R2 cost..?
>>
>>157208902
I don't have much experience invading in either game, but, I actually preferred invading in DaS3 as well. The worst thing that could happen was a host with passworded phantoms, but the levels (at least the ones in which I tended to invade; Pontiff and Crucifixion Woods), made those situations much easier to manage than the places I've invaded in BB (Forbidden Woods and Nightmare Frontier), by way of bonfire and enemy placement.

Also, I'd much rather have a host with <15 Estus that heal ~30% at those points in the game, possibly being accompanied by phantoms with 7 or less, than a host and cooperators with 20+ Vials that heal for at least 40%, parryable or not.

Blue eye wolves in the upper cathedral Ward. Make sure you have all the eye runes on too.

I'm assuming you haven't ran the upper level chalice dungeons yet if you have this problem. Once you start those you get a chunk or two ever boss battle so that's an even better farming method then.

Ok. Assuming you're following the Bbg guide for the chalice run you're just about at that point where bosses will start dropping chunks. Once you get to FRC dungeons it's basically a guarantee chunk or two per boss battle

I never know what level you're supposed to be, I figure 65 is on the low side for these chalices, but I don't know by how much

And jesus anon, Defiled wouldn't even be a problem at that point

Burial blade would be top tier if it weren't for the split arcane bullshit.
>>
>>157221316

thanks for your insightful reply, but i think you're probably on the wrong board, this isnt /a/
>>
>>157221141
Tonitrus, Holy Moonlight Sword, literally anything that can be infused with an elemental gem. Serrated weapons + fire gem is always good.
>>
>>157221361
Kek idk anything about arc but I hear HMLS is good for str/arc
Parasite ofc with 50 arc
Accursed brew/black sky eye/etc
Idk m8, all I know is that split weapons like BoM and BB are shite
>>
>>157220212
Use whatever weapon you like as long as it's convertible. You might want to avoid stuff with high requirements, like Rakuyo. Get elemental gems and put them in your weapon. Blade of Mercy and Burial Blade are not Arcane weapons, do not use them.

This shows you where to get elemental gems, and how early you can get them.

Is there any decent way to dodge his lightning shit? It keeps hitting me and putting me in 1shot range.
>>
>>157222463
Honestly I always tank it
I've seen people use the loch shield for it though
>>
>>157219367
I dunno about you but I was actually mad enough to do it at BL0 solo
And survived

I aint ever doing that again
>>
>>157222463

>>157221342
Or at least let it have the Serrated Bonus.

Stay as far away from his mom

Preferably into the water if you can

When he charges it, backstab, backstab is all iframes.
>>
>>157223001
He can't be backstabbed during the screaming or during his transformation
But if you time it right you can hit him right when he's finished with the animation
I'll try

>Cruel Fate
That's BL 10, anon.
>>
>>157223064
Oh yeah.

Disregard what I said then.
>>
>>157223058
That's how I did it, anon. Timing is really easy with the Ryakuyo, but idk what weapon you're using

I'll try with the rakuyo
I'm still waiting to be summoned

>>157223195
I'm not the one who needs help with Orphan. I find him harder to fight with more people.
>>
>>157223271
I'm going to be really upset if this guy just fucked off without saying anything
>>
>>157223372
Looks like he did, anon
>>
>>157223372
