Is the beast cutter or whirligig good for an arc build? Thinking of going 70 arc and meeting the minimum reqs

>>163206414
Whirligig is great with full fire setup, Cutter is ok.

>threaded cane for pvp

is it viable? My skill build is starting to get a move on, it'll definitely be ready for the next FC (or the one in two weeks.) I don't want to be like every other shitter using the blades of mercy or rakuyo as I don't really like them as weapons. Threaded cane in pve is a lot of fun, and I'd imagine the whip mode would catch a lot of people off guard seeing as the threaded cane hunter always gives me a hard time. Just something about the whip form is hard to track when it's coming at you. Despite this I don't think I've ever seen anyone in a FC using it. Thoughts?

here's what I'd be going for by SL98 btw. 15 arc for old hunter bone / roar spam, 27.2% physical gems on both cane and pick.

Tips for fighting Ludwig with only ten vit and a +5 Saw Spear? I'm out of Beast Blood Pellets and his horsey panic move kills me instantly.

>>163207368
The real question is why only 10 vit and +5 spear on ludwig.

>>163207471
Because I have a habit of upgrading my damage stats before touching vit and this build was going to use the Moonlight Sword.

>>163207368
How dead is he when kills you? If you can, dump your insight as low as you feel comfortable for more beasthood buildup. Saw spear is kind of shit for building beasthood tho desu. His second phase is easier than his first, his capacity to one shot you goes through the roof though.

>>163207714
Like I said, I'm out of Beast Blood Pellets. I'd spend insight on them if I could, but they aren't for sale.

Saw Spear works fine for wracking up beasthood, the trick attacks give you a ton.

I've only gotten him to phase two once, and he killed me in one hit about two seconds afterward.

>>163207869
Stay in the middle of the room, give him a wide berth. Consider using plank shield (lel (using a shield (scrub)))

Every weapon is viable, and the Threaded Cane is a nice weapon for PvP. Start with Cruel Fate so you have 5 Blt instead of 7, there's no reason to ever start as Professional. Blade of Mercy isn't a shitter weapon like Rakuyo unless you dash-r1 spam, which isn't too hard to handle. Not as bad as Wheel dash-r1 spam. 10 Blt for Reiter is good too, I'd take some points outta End or Vit to use it if ya want.

Do I have to "die" to the lesser amygdala every time I want to access the DLC?

>>163214147
Thanks anon.

>>163214193
Lordy lord just summon Valtr. You're at a perfectly fine level to be doing Ludwig, anyways.
Or, get a serrated weapon (tricked Whirligig, Saw Spear, untricked Cleaver etc.), put some Fire Paper on, and pop a Beast Blood Pellet.

Sure thing mang, you know how multiplayer works in BB?

That grab is nasty. Got em! Thanks for the help! Gonna do the rest of the level if you're bored.

>>163215292
Sure I'll hop in after I'm done helping with ludwig

>>163211803
Perfect, thanks. I'll probably end up using that build except with 10 in str/blt so I can use the church pick and reiter to mix things up occasionally, seeing as I can do that and still be able to have 50 vit / 50 skl at bl98.

It's pretty fun so far, I've never really used the cane extensively (even on my pure arc build I found another weapon to substitute it) and it's a lot more versatile than I remember it being. Currently have it +9 and I'm in the yahurgal village. Probably going to make it through to nightmare of mensis tomorrow to grab the rock/string, grab the loran/isz chalice, and then I should have everything to rush through the CDs in another day or two.

You guys were right, it's a lot faster your third or fourth time through the game. I kind of expected it to be more of a slog but I'm more or less just running past all the levels just to fight the boss and progress to the next one.

Thanks, I was having a real hard time with him. Are any of you up for Abhorrrent Beast in Loran L3?

I've spent almost two hours trying to kill hotdog for that early 10% fire gem in my arcane build. I have no more vials and just redoing the battle until hopefully I get it once. Ringing if anyone wants to help. Pass is bbg.

How do I make the Kos Parasite good? I'm a level 79 with 26 Arcane, and it's doing paltry damage.

>>163219703
What level? Just started a new character on Sunday and I'm around BL48
>>163219805
You need more arcane. 26 is pitiful. Aim for 50, and then look for suitable arc gems, like a 27.2%, a 23.1%, and a cold abyssal.

>>163219703
Which chalice/layer is that? I've for them all opened but can't remember specific boss locations.

>>163218514
Whirli is maximum fun just wrecking fools, Ludwig's has a reputation for being a boring weapon, but if you like it, go for it

>>163219868
>aim for 50
where the bell am I going to get all those echoes

>>163219868
>>163219892
Level 23 the very first chalice you get from bsb.

I'm only having trouble because I dumped all my levels into arcane and I have only base vitality.

>>163219937
I have been using Ludwig's weapon since I got it. Kirkhammer before. What is a fun weapon to use for a strength build

>>163220001
Just run through some chalice dungeons. Ailing Loran Layer 1 is a good starting location for early echo farming. But, FRCs will have you drowning in blood echoes--more than you'll ever need.
>>163220020
Alright, I'll stop by, anon.

Thanks senpai, now I can continue my arcane playthrough.

>tfw all this work and it's not even 10%

>>163220682
>having trouble with hotdog

>>163220103
Kirk, Cuttah, Amy Arm, Boomhammer, Stake, HMS, Wheel, Beast Claw, Axe, Saws. If you got 25 Skill you can use Skill/Quality weapons with a Heavy Abyssal like Burial Blade, Church Pick and Saif effectively.

>>163221080
Still on my first playthrough so I don't have access to all the weapons you mentioned. I do want to try the Burial Blade tho

>>163220103
If you mean the Holy Moonlight Sword, that's a Strength/Arcane weapon. Untricked is strength, tricked is arc. For a strength build, you'd be using the untricked form, which is perfectly good and has a good charged R2, but it sucks not being able to use half a weapon.

If you meant Ludwig's Holy Blade, it's very utilitarian, in my opinion. It's fine, but it's just a greatsword in a game full of crazier stuff. I'd recommend the Whirligig Saw for sure, the Hunter's Axe can be great with it's very wide and heavy hitting tricked mode, Beast Cutter makes up for lacklustre damage with insane range, there's the good old Saw Cleaver which has a very expansive moveset when tricked, plus it's untricked R1s are spammable and can stunlock enemies. You were using the Kirk, too, which is fun as hell for smashing. Try out these weapons and see which one feels good to you.

>>163220915
That's what I deserve for not dumping any points into vitality.

>>163221363
If you don't have the DLC, you should definitely get it, a ton of great weapons are to be found in it, Whirli, Amy Arm, Boomhammer are all DLC weapons.

>>163221505
I don't have the Moonlight great sword yet. I started with the Saw Cleaver -> KirkHammer -> Stake Driver -> Ludwig Holy Blade. Just got the Whirligig Saw and i am fucking steamrolling everything it seems. Beast Cutter looks like it will be fun when exploring but not during boss fights due to how slow it is. I will give Hunter's axe a try.

>Ebrietas uses her head as a club
>The Living Failures use their heads like clubs
>Rom uses her head like a club
>The Celestial Emmissaries can use their heads like clubs
>The untricked Kosiflower charge attack let's the Hunter use their head like a club

>>163221363
Just remember that Burial Blade is mainly a Skill weapon (don't pay attention to the Arc on it, it scales horribly just like the Blade of Mercy's and Amy Arm's). So to use it on a Strength build effectively you'll want a Heavy Abyssal, which requires finishing dungeons and farming FRC Headless Blood-letting Beast. Most people hate farming him. That's if you want to be fully maxed out for PvP, for PvE any Physical gems on the Blade is fine. The best version is Uncanny if you do plan on finishing dungeons and farming high-end gems.

>>163222102
I am playing mainly on PvE right now since I don't have PS plus at the moment. Do I have to remake an Arc build if I want to use the moonlight great sword. That might be my build my next run.

>>163222395
Nah, HMS is pretty flexible. It can be used on a Strength build with little to no Arc or a Str/Arc build (16/12/50 Str/Skl/Arc isn't great but it's still usable). For Str/Arc you'll want 20-25 Strength and 50 Arc with Nourishing gems. But since you don't got PS+, farming those gems will take much, much longer since you'll have to create your own dungeons with the hopes of certain enemies spawning to farm. It's easier on a Strength build if you just use Physical gems. It requires 14 Arcane to wield.

>>163222679
Hmm. What level should I be when I take on the old hunter DLC. I just finished Forbidden Woods and I went to nightmare Frontier to beat Amy. Currently at the first area of the old hunter DLC and I have to say it is pretty tough. Currently at 62 SL

>>163222926
Im lvl 43 and im at living failures shit is tough but people usually recommend going in the dlc at BL 70-80

Ringing at Defiled Pthumeru L2 lamp, pass is bbg.

>>163222926
Recommended level is 65+, but as long as you got at least 30 Vit and a +6-9 weapon you'll do okay. You can pick up decent gems from the first few dungeons that'll help with damage.

>tfw doing the dlc made me overleveled for my first fight with the moon pressance

>>163223074
>>163223193
Sounds great. I will continue doing the DLC then. I hope it won't over power me when I am done with it and just squash the rest of the game.

>>163223421
DLC is pretty much the toughest part of the game besides FRC dungeons so if you manage to beat it solo you'll squash the rest of the game. There's 22.3% Phys droplets dropped by Winter Lanterns near the end, they're the best Phys gems aside from dungeon gems.

>>163223210
MP is already piss easy regardless

>>163223713
A little dissapointing desu

>>163223604
So I should nope out of the DLC till I beat the main game? Can I still continue playing my game if I beat the final boss or will it force me to go NG+

>>163221769
Conclusive evidence that all those eyes made those idiots extremely thick-headed. No wonder why they all went mad.

>>163222679
>But since you don't got PS+, farming those gems will take much, much longer
In my experience, Nourishing gems are some of the easiest to farm without using glyphs because Amygdala is such a common boss in FRC.

>>163223864
Beating the final boss sends you immediately to NG+, there's no option to stay like DaS2/3. You should clear the whole game before DLC, but if you kill the second boss of the Nightmare of Mensis before doing the DLC you'll miss out on some dialogue.

>>163223864
Last required boss won't push you into NG+, you'll probably know when it'll push you into NG+. There's 2 optional last bosses depending on certain requirements. Best way to know when it's near the end is when the Doll tells you that Gerhaman wants to speak to you.

Just do the DLC whenever, I usually tackle it early and if it gets too tough go back to the main game until I feel ready.

>>163223185
Anyone?

>>163224464
I'll be there if ya still need help.

why does the workshop get set on fire after you kill the wet nurse?

>>163224393

So clear the DLC before I beat the 2nd boss for the nightmare of Mensis?

Speaking of Gerhamn, the old dude has been missing from my game since I beat the Vicar

>>163224974
You can beat Wet Nurse, just don't talk to G man until you've done the DLC and whatever else you need. He's probably chilling at the back of the workshop near the Messenger Hat bath.

Just beat these guys in NG+. Same result as main game: 1 death, then a win. I still don't quite get why everyone thinks they're that hard. Dark Souls II had far worse cases of having to manage multiple enemies at once. Now if the blood vial animation was slower I could see them being annoying.

>>163226354
>I still don't quite get why everyone thinks they're that hard.
Who is everyone?
Never heard anybody say this.

>>163208835
Why does this tend to happen in chalice dungeons which have a set layout? You'd think enemies getting stuck in the walls and the like would be a feature of randomly generated ones but not set layout ones since they can be tested for.

The guide for arcane doesn't lay it out enough for me.

Cleaver > Spear > +9 spear > +10 kos parasite?

What do I use to farm arcane gems for the parasite though?

>>163229350
Don't bother with the arcane guide, it's written by a shitter desu

>>163229295
Yeah, I'm guessing I'm going to be demolished.

>>163229350
It frightens me that people want to go arcane. Seems like it's guaranteed to be weaker than just a strength or quality build

>>163229350
The Saw Spear?
Seriously, anon. Just use the same weapon you used to get the Parasite. It's not rocket science.

>>163229350
You can get a free Saw Spear from the sewers, just run for it and pick up a Cane or Axe. The +9 Saw Spear will carry you through most of the game. Early fire gems for almost everything, Lighthouse Bolt gems for fire-resistant enemies like Hotdog and Laurence if you wanna fight him. Physical gems, BB pellets and Bolt Paper for Pthumeru Hotdogs to get those early fire Radials. Even with base Str/Skl, Winter Lantern droplets will do okay damage when paired with BB Pellets and Papers.

What makes you think that?

>>163228436
The fire guy has the easiest attacks to dodge even in sneks mode. Going for him afterwards always makes the fight more easier.

>>163229548
Arc builds usually do more damage than normal builds at 50 Arc if you farm the gems, and you can also use the tools and pump more points into health.
Also you can go pure 99 Arc and rek chumps with the absurd damage on the tools

>>163229685
the fact that you have very limited weapon selection, the base damage on the parasite is low so everything relies on the scaling, the fact that it eats your covenant slot too

>>163229841
Could someone go 99 str or 99 skl and wreck fools with that?

>>163229942
Not that I know of, Arcane tools have the same scaling from level 70-99 as 1-50, but this is not the case for weapons so this doesn't apply to Strength or Skill

Was the one reborn literally the easiest boss in the game?

>>163229845
>the fact that you have very limited weapon selection,
Not at all, considering that you can just slot Cold Abyssals onto physical damage weapons and call it a day. You really only have to worry about the minimum requirements, and how many levels you'd have to drop to meet them. It's up to you if it's worth going 20 skill just to use an elemental Rakuyo, but the option is there regardless.
> the base damage on the parasite is low so everything relies on the scaling
Yet it has incredibly high damage modifiers to balance it out. Not sure what your argument is here. The AR tends to be low, but the modifiers compensate. The Kos Parasite isn't the only weapon
>the fact that it eats your covenant slot too
Again, the KP isn't the only arc weapon, and covenants aren't very significant in Bloodborne.

>>163229841
>rek chumps with the absurd damage on the tools
It's really not that absurd. If you want to cheese bosses by backpedaling and spamming projectiles, use Bowblade, it's far more fun.

>>163230228
You have to waste the time grinding out the cold abyssals first though. Without that you only have KP.

Executioners covenant with increased blood healing seems to be objectively the best bonus, so I park on that and never leave

>50 strength

???

>>163229942
No, a damage stat at 50 gives 85% of damage for weapons. 99 Arc is for Tools, which scale better past 50. Nothing scales as well for Str/Skl. 50/50 hits pretty hard for most Phys weapons though.

>>163230535
Radiance is only like 11 HP per vial

>>163230535
The Radiance Rune gives like a 1% bonus for vials, it's not really noticeable. Milkweed ups Item Discovery 9-10 points, not much but sounds better than Radiance.

>>163230127
No, that award falls to the Hemwick Witches. TOR can be hard if you have literally never leveled vit, like if you're doing a BL4 run. Witches can never be a challenge, and if they ever even were, you can just drop all your insight and negate them to a game of hide and seek.

Anyone want to help a fellow hunter out with Ludwig? I've killed him plenty of times on my own, I just want my Moonlight Sword for this build. I'm BL53, I'll be ringing with password bbgmoon.

Horses are noble beasts, Ludwig was a noble man. The Moonlight Sword helped make his transformation worsen, so maybe it affected him turning into a horse too. There's no real solid evidence as to why he's a horse.

Amygdala's preferred pronouns are xi, xim, and xis.
Please respect xis lifestyle

>>163235078
Amygdala is all but explicitly referred to as male. Patches calls him Lord rather than Lady, and when you talk to him in the ecture Building he up and says, and I quote, "My apologies, but I feel a profound thought occuring... On the good grace of a certain god, and how he meted out his love."

I mean, sure, Great Ones and alien biology and concepts of gender et cetera, but even then calling Amygdala a gril is still blatantly false.

Why?

What should my strength/skill/arcane distribution be for a good moonlight greatsword build?

>>163237943
50/25/25 or 25/25/50. Former is better for the blade, latter a bit better for beams while having decent Hunter Tool damage and converted weapons.

>>163237943
25/25/50

>>163235792
But the Church has nothing to do with Patches, he's an entity associated with Amygdala and Amygdala only. The only reason Patches is even in the Lecture building is because he's a fucking spider, spiders love to hang out in old, decrepit locations and the Lecture Building has a direct connection to the Nightmare Frontier, where his Lord not Lady resides.

Alright, i just finished my skill\bloodtinge and strength\arcane runs and am kind of at a loss for what to do next, any suggestions?

>>163237943
I usually hear 25/25/50 with nourishing gems to take advantage of base form and the tricked split damage. You could probably drop the skill if you wanted to stay lower or mostly use the tricked form.

>>163238130
You've literally covered everything with those two builds. Only thing left to do is fool around with different weapons, PvP, go spelunking in CRF dungeons and co-op with people.

>>163237497
Bitches can remember with who they saw you with, at what hour, date and place. The thing with emotional reactions and pheromes.

>>163237943
Depends on what you want out of it. If you want it primarily for moonbeams, 25/12+/50 is the way to go. If you want the physical sword and smacking stuff with the tricked blade, 50/25/25 is what you want.

This is, of course, assuming you want to stay within meta constraints. There's nothing stopping you from going 50/50/50 and completely annihilating everything and everyone you come across, you'd just have a hard time connecting for PvP. Reddit fight clubs would be accessible, and I think it would be hilarious to twoshot them with your giant rollcatching fucksword and R2 followups of instant death.

>>163238130
Pure Arc, or something unorthodox like Skl/Arc, Blt/Arc. Maybe a Bl43 Twink or Vit-gouge Wheel.

So, Kirkhammer has a D in Arcane? Do I need to raise my arcane to get the most out of it?

>>163238209
I dont want this to end. Why can't From make more games. Time to replay DS

>>163238359
Arc scaling doesn't matter since Cold Abyssals increase it. The scaling increases the higher you upgrade it, I believe it has a B or A at +10. If you're running a Str and/or Skill build, don't bother with Arc since it's only activated when you slot fire/bolt/arcane gems.

>>163238359
All weapons have D ARC scaling unless they're explicitly ARC weapons. The reason for that is so that they actually work properly if/when you decide to stick Fire/Bolt/Arcane gems into them instead of Phys gems.
There's a small handful of weapons with a minor ARC component in their total AR, but that's inconsequential.
Unless it's an actual ARC weapon, don't bother leveling ARC.

>>163238335
The wheel sounds fun. i'll do that.

>>163238683
Just know that you'll mainly rely on the tricked multi-hits since most of your points are put into Vit. Basically dash-r1 everything, r2s as well I suppose. Wheel Twinks are pretty devastating too.

I just beat Bloodborne for first time and damn I loved it so good. I beat everything up to Gehrman at around level 80-85 before buying the DLC. I guess I went in a little overleveled, since I beat every boss in two tries except Ludwig on my first try and Orphan of Kos on my like... 40th try.
I ended up with like 30/29/50/16/20 since I wanted to try every weapon on my first character, but later settled into Str. I guess it would be more ideal to be more specialized, but I figured I can finetune later characters. I couldn't justify 2 more Blt points for Evelyn though, so I hope that sucks.
I did all of Pthu until Defiled, although I did the ritual for it. Did Loran. Did ritual only for Hinter, Lower Loran and Isz.

I'm kind of at a loss on where to go with this guy now, I have no PS+ now, as I didn't have much use for it but now I want to try PvPing with this guy, or should I not bother and roll a more finetuned char statwise after I settle on a weapon with my rounded out first char?

I'm going for a strength build. Never gone for one in BB, so this is my first time using the Kirkhammer.

Is the sword portion of the KH apart of the strength or dexterity aspect?
I'm throwing all points into strength, and dunno if I'm wasting time using the sword if it's dexterity...

>>163242062
Damn. Well I had fun anyway.
I might just max this guy out 99/... for shits and giggles then, I guess. I already have every weapon at at least +4 and 3 at +10 on him, so I can't leave him altogether.

>>163242196
Here's another one.
I did buy a month when I got my PS4. Got REmake and played Overwatch free weekend, then didn't see a need to renew with my current catalog. I'm gonna buy a year though I guess and start co-oping a new character.

>>163242379
The sword moveset deals less damage than the hammer moveset to balance its faster attacks, but the stat scaling isn't any different. The only weapon whose physical scaling changes when tricked is Threaded Cane, which increases its Skill scaling.

>>163241915
anon sorry but your build is more or less lost to you wanting to try out all weapons. The stats softcap at 25 and hardcap at 50, except for arcane which can scale with tools up to 99. Try to aim for 50vit and between base and 15 end.

>>163242379
The whole weapon is Strength, it's okay but a Saw Cleaver would be better for quick attacks. The sword has somewhat low modifiers, similar to the LHB but not as bad (0.9 for Kirk sword, 0.75 for LHB sword. Cleaver and most weapons are around 1 for standard r1 attacks).

>>163243039
I wonder if I'd enjoy playing as much at 15end. I've gotten accustomed to bobbing and weaving.

>>163244125
I've reset my one file 50 times over and over again using the same character and the same skill build based around the cane.
Cane is best weapon.

I'm starting to burn out on BB and decided to turn to DS3 to take a break.

And I gotta say, among all of it's faults the one that ruins it for me the most is the lore. I just can't give a shit about that setting. I guess it's supposed to be depressing that nothing in the game really matters, but it just leaves me disinterested. I hope Miyazaki stays true to his word and moves on to new stories.

>>163244125
Not that guy, but I also went back to SKL a couple of times instead of trying new builds. Just can't get enough of SKL weapons.

I made the mistake of starting with Noble Scion and ended up leveling Endurance to 20 before I settled on the weapon I wanted to use. I'm looking at Threaded Cane and Blades of Mercy.

Current stats are:
30 Vit
20 End
30 Skl
9 Str
14 Blt
9 Arc

How fucked am if I want to start going for BoM or an optimal Threaded Cane?

>>163246124
Besides the starting class, you're honestly fine. 20 END is fine for BoM usage(20 END is the most points people would stop anyways). Just get vig and skl to 50

>>163246124
You can still hit 50VIT/50SKL at 102 which isn't terrible, but you can't be optimal with your stats this fucked. Enjoy having extraneous ARC and BLT and no STR I guess, that's the road you're on if you don't want to restart.

>>163246425
46-48 VIT depending what meta you're stopping at*

>>163245815
>Cane is best weapon.
my nigga. Always the trusty weapon for skl builds until you get whatever weapon you have planned also is useful for Defiled CDs for its range

>>163245815
Cane isn't even the best starting weapon.

>>163246425
>>163246462
I went into my first playthrough blind after waiting to get the game for a while. Had no idea what I wanted to do. I'm at the Forbidden Woods right now, so I think I'll just keep what I have. Darn shame though. Had no idea I was fucking my stats so bad with that starting class. Is Arcane any good for BoM/Cane, or is pretty much all of my damage coming from Skill?

>>163246678
All your damage is coming from skill. BoM has ARC scaling, but it doesn't add shit. Like we're talking single digit benefits at most: it only has ARC damage on it so it can't be elemental converted.

Threaded is all skill.

>>163246124
45/20/10/50/14/9 puts you at 98, so you should be fine. You'll just have some points wasted from Blt and Arc. If you want to make use of them and don't mind going over 98, 25 Blt for extra gun damage and 15 Arc for a few Hunter Tools. I don't recommend going over 10 Blt for Skill but you might as well with Noble Scion's 14 Blt.

>>163246678
>1st playthru
Dont worry about being optimal. Worry about that with the sequential playthrus

>>163246772

>>163246848

>>163246910
>It really surprised me that your starting background could mess with your build so much.
It only matters if you're going to PvP actively. Otherwise the level restriction doesn't matter and those wasted points are of no real consequence.
Since it's your first walkthrough you're better off enjoying single-player and coop and not worrying about builds too much. 50 should be your aim for your primary stat (SKL in your case), and 20 is a good cap for END in PvE. That's about all you need to know.

>>163246910
>It really surprised me that your starting background could mess with your build so much.

It can if you want to be fully min maxed but it's no biggie for first playthroughs. Just aim for 40-50 Vit and 50 Skill. 45/20/10/50/25/15 at 115 is what I'd go for.

>>163247015
>>163247067

Thanks. I was reading the pastebin and got some good info there to help with later builds. I'll probably just enjoy the PvE for now and save PvP for subsequent playthroughs. Chalice dungeons probably won't be worth it on this run since I don't need the gems for PvP, right?

>>163247146
They're worth it for PvP but PvE nah, just stick to Winter Lantern droplets. There's also the trophy for completing them if you want the platinum and theme.

>>163247146
You don't need gems for PvE, but I kinda enjoy Chalices anyway, if only for the bosses. It is a bit boring getting to the deep ones though.
You can give them a try, and if you find it boring feel free to leave them for later.

>>163247146
You need gems for everything: gems are always going to be the bulk of your damage.

That being said, you don't need optimal gems for PvE. You can get away with mensis or hamlet droplets for the most part. In PvP, however, you're going to want optimal gems. It's not a requirement, but its a strong recommendation.

>tfw the game has so little sub-build variety
Like, there's different builds no doubt, but all of them are pretty basic. There's no real buffs in the game and only one real healing item outside of vials so forget trying to make a co-op support/healer arc class; melee classes can only really go for pure damage since damage increase gems are so ridiculously OP while slow poison, rapid poison, stamina usage down, hp restore, etc. gems are pretty much worthless.

Really you're stuck between a pure damage melee build, shooty shooty build, or pure mage build; and those last two will probably be used mostly as pure damage melee builds too. If BB2 or a spiritual successor to BB gets made I really hope they find a way to drastically improve the potential build variety.

>>163247336
>>163247294
>>163247272
I didn't think I'd need Chalice gems dove I'm not going fully optimal on this run anyway. I've been having a fine time on the drops I get as I go. Thanks for the advice.

Since I'm not*

>>163247504
Depending on your level/stats/weapon/weapon upgrade level you really don't need chalice gems for any of the content.

Three 20%s is more than adequate for anything that isn't FRC or PvP.

Im i wasting points in skill if im going arcane and the cane and saw blade is going to be elemental in the end?

>>163249625
Yeah, put those points into arcane or strength instead.

>>163249675
It's really my friends character, and she wanted a skill/arc build, but i later relized that the skill points will we wasted once i put Fire/Bolt gems in them, are there any other weapons that are good with an arc build that does not require elemental gems in them? Or is it still a waste?

>>163249625
It will help Visceral damage, but other than that. Yeah it's a waste.

Go 25 STR instead, that way you can use HMS, Tonitrus and Wheel as extremly powerful backup weapons. also 70 Arcane is a meme, stop at 50 or go all the way to 99, the amazing scaling doesn't kick in until 80+ so stopping at 70 is just a waste. Put another 20 in STR and turn the Wheel into the most powerful weapon in the game by using Noirishings, revving it 4 times and R2 > R2 > R2 everything to death. Or dump another 30 points into Arcane and leave STR at base and cut a few from VIT/END.

ARC/SKL just isn't a good build, nothing scales (well) off both at the same time, unless you really want an elemental Rakuyo SKL should be 14 at highest, usually 12.

>>163249906
A skill/arcane build is better at 50 skill and 20 arcane so you can use (physical) skill weapons and supplement them with Old Hunter Bone dash-spam, Beast Roar for emergencies, auger for two-handed parries/BoM Backstabs and Gloves for pressure and stagger.

Or go 50/50 and use BoM with nourishing gems. I'm pretty sure that's stronger than 50 SKL with Temperibg gems.

>>163249914
No idea why my spoiler tags fucked up

>>163250104
Arcane on Blades of Mercy is shit. He's better off with 3 temperings even with base Str.

>>163249914
So if im going with the Wheel build (With HMS and Tonitrus i dunno) how would it look like with most optimal stats? Im new to ARC builds, and im more used to str, skill and blt builds.

Test

>>163205819
Is wheel good for strength build without arcane?

For PvE and memeing only

>>163249625
If you really want SKL/ARC then go Cruel Fate 40+/12+/10+/50/5/20+. I'm saying this by memory so the numbers might be wrong but you should be around BL100 with this.

I wonder what Amelia smells like

>>163249505
Do you really need that much end? I'd bring end to 15 and try pumping str to 25, just so you have more skill weapons like the Saif, BB, and Church Pick in your arsenal. I know you're planning Rakuyo/BoM only, and that they don't scale with strength, but it seems hell of a lot better than that many extra points in end.

Yeah Arc on BoM is shit, but if you do level SKL and ARC to 50 (for whatever reason) I'm pretty sure 21.5% Nourishings eventually outperform 27.2% Temperings. Only just and it depends on enemy defense which works out better.

>>163250415
50 arcane
Whatecer Vitaility you are comfortable with (recommended 40-50)
Same with END
12 skill for requirements
As much STR as you can, 50 is optimal but 25+ is good.

>>163250681
What does Orphan smell like?

>>163250810
Rotting pussy probably

>>163250569
pls respond, sitting at the upgrade table with a cheeky blood rock in my inventory

>>163250863
Anything is good for PvE, except Fist of Gracia.

>>163250569
It's a meh STR weapon, it's untricked moveset is basically a more arkward Kirkhammer. And it's tricked mode is worse if you don't have any arc.

But wheel makes a fantastic weapon on any build for flat arc or poison gems.

>>163251021
Ah fair enough, so i guess it's Kirkhammer +10 for me then

I've beaten this game 10 times by now and still can't kill Ludwig without a summon or fire paper and beast pellets. Not even Orphan gives me that much trouble. Pass is rapehors.

Dodge left.

If you still need help I'll boot up. Surprised no one else has offered yet.

>>163251783
Is there a single boss fight in Bloodborne where you should dodge right, for a change?

>>163251846
Maria. Maybe Orphan for a couple attacks.

Abhorrent Beast too I think and also HBLB.

I do post it a little often, don't I...

>>163251783
Nope. Headbutted into oblivion. Still beckoning.

>>163252194
Alrighty, I'll boot up. Pass is "rapehors" specifically with no e?

Ringing at the lamp or fog?

>>163252345
At the lamp. There's no e because it's too big.

>>163252378
There's got to be a Berserk or "That's what she said" joke in there.

Ringin'.

Kek. He was tryin' to get you. First time I've been killed by that in a long while.

>>163252552
Running in the same direction as someone else is never a good idea. Thanks.

>>163252775
Cheers.

>>163251846
Actually dodging right in his second phase seems to work quite well.

>>163251846
I dodge right for BSB. Honestly, you should almost always dodge towards the direction the attack is coming from.

Holy shit. That bitch at the Grand Cathedral for the Crow boss is one fucking tough son of a bitch.

>>163252974
You can parry cheese him.

>>163253117
Yeah that is what I did in the end.

>>163250696
Cheers for the build.

>>163253589
Don't use it it's garbage. 40 Vit will get you OHKO'd by everything in FRCs. You need at least 41 Vit, and that's a bad idea too.

>>163207634
I can smell it on you. You use the R1 L1 L1 L1 combo basically for the entire game don't you.

Here's my advice. Take one of three options. Go level Vit to 20, summon competent help, or learn to dodge all his attacks.

>>163214054
that lined my brain with keks

>>163207634
Your leveling priority should be:

>20 VIT
>up to 20 END (stop sooner if your build calls for it)
>30 Vit
>base stats for whatever additional weapons you will be using
>damage scaling stats to build cap
>VIT and END to build cap

In that order. After making several build, that order is always the most efficient and effective. Raising damage scaling stats earlier, for example, doesn't have a very major effect because the weapons still tend to be +1 or 2 so they base stats and scaling tend to be crappy anyway. Plus, 30 VIT is plenty to get you through NG PvE.

Is the only way to deal with these guys to just run past them and heal the frenzy damage as you go?

>>163254592
You can parry them or stun lock them to death with certain weapons.

>>163254592
>Is the only way to deal with these guys to just run past them and heal the frenzy damage as you go?
Not even close. If you're using a Saw weapon you can stun them out of their grab, but it isn't the safest way to play.

You can also interrupt the grab for a visceral, during which you are allegedly immune to the Frenzy proc.

Easier, for me, is to just hit them once or twice, dodge through the grab to 11 or 2 o' clock, R1 them a few more times to kill them, let the Frenzy proc, then heal up and get on with the level.

I'm having a hard time fighting OoK with the kirkhammer. How the fug do I get hits in when he's in phase 2?

>>163254826
Untricked R2

>>163254791
The safest way to play is to stunlock one to death, let frenzy activate, pop two healing vials, then move on to the next one.

one time I summoned him and he blasted the cannon right in the fucking face of the hotdog and blew like 30% of its health in one shot

I've been trying to kill father g for 4 hours now
Either dying to the second form right before the last hit or during his long axe phase. No idea when to parry him, it feels so random. Like when he's jumping shouldn't this be the correct moment to shoot? Or while he's about to jump? Or just before he's about to me?

You can use the toybox from the little girl to stagger him, and you don't need to parry him if you don't have the timing well yet. Focus on hit and running/dodging.

And you won't parry him middle jump, it's when he is almost jumping I think.

>>163258806
>>163258818
>>163258824
Thanks, tombstone tricks looks easy and i supppose for his long axe attacks you should try attacking him at the start of the attack? i tried to use the music box but it takes so long and while i use it he just ends up attacking me.

>>163258667
Dodge into him rather than away. And mostly learn his parry timing.

>>163257867
It's the eternal theme of cosmic horror - it's too late until you're in too deep. Human limitation, ignorance, arrogance, the quest for knowledge and understanding, control, and ultimate lack thereof.

It's all about trying to be in control, safe, but finding out you can't be in control, ever.

Just had my first encounter with the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst. I died 3 times before managing to kill him, that's more times than I've died to any boss in the entire game, including DLC.

Why the fuck can From STILL not understand that using NPC enemies is cheap bullshit that makes the game unfun? Why not actually create an enemy with a unique moveset instead of using a non-player hunters that can pull of perfect parries, have boss-tier health pools and do insane damage with firearms?

The bloody crow of cainhurst has 8k+ hp, can heal for half his health and does ridiculous damage with both weapons, not to mention the fact that you can't do combos on him since he parries you, killing you no matter what. It's unfair, frustrating and just plain boring to fight against, and I have no idea how this garbage got through playtesting.
