/bbg/ - Bloodborne General

How high can you level with a bloodtinge build while still remaining in the 98-117 range before you're just an asshole?

Also, is there a generally agreed on optimal bloodtinge build?

>>167096426
wew, lad

>>167096514
14/15/50 Str/Skl/Blt is all you need. 28 Str for big guns, 30 for normal Cannon, 40-50 Vit, base-20 End. Anywhere within 98-117 is fine.

See, that's what I mean, I was looking for exact values generally agreed to be the best, I know the general ranges. Are the big guns even worth it? They seem impractical and unnecessary.

>>167096796
Where are you ringing at, anon?

>>167096829
Big guns are fun, Cannons for burst and AoE, Gat for chipping down stuff. It's whatever dude, just go with what you want. The main thing you just gotta have is 50 Blt and min requirements for your weapons with decent Vit.

>>167096841

>>167097021
>Big guns are fun, Cannons for burst and AoE, Gat for chipping down stuff.
Sounds like worthless trash you're never going to hit anyone with. Why would you bother with that instead of just getting more vit?

>>167096829
In that case don't level STR to use them. When your build is done you'll want us to play it for you?

>>167097309

do you remember how to get to Ludwig from here? i forgot

>>167097720
I didn't say that, it's just that the lack of respecs means that I'm really wary about putting any points into anything beyond the bare minimum, lest hundreds of hours of playtime go down the drain.
I've deleted 10 characters with 100+ hours played so far because I messed up their builds at some point, so.

>>167097824
Kek, yeah. We have the return to the river where we fought that trio of Bloodlickers. Just follow me

>>167096682
I take that back. 95.

>>167097653
You'd be surprised at how often people get hit by stupid stuff, like a fully charged Kirk R2 or Amy Arm follow up for exemple.

>>167097983
Banking on your opponent being stupid sounds like a poor gameplan. If something isn't necessary to win, it's not worth using and you're better off bolstering your more consistent and reliable options.

>>167097653
Where else would you put the points after getting fiddy Vit? Don't knock them till you've tried them, shooting with the Gat makes everyone spam dodges and if they get up close a cannon shot to the ground is almost guaranteed to hit them.

>>167098131
You can't have 50 vit and 28 strength.

>>167098115
You sound like you'd use the Saif.

>>167098131
what if they shoot you out of your gat

>>167098210
Within the 109-117 range you can.

>>167098315
What's wrong with that?
You sound like a whiny baby, regardless.

>>167098115
yeah ok dude just use the most optimal build in the world with perfect everything. just go to 150, the true meta
you wouldn't even be using a blt build if that was the case. what's the point of you posting

>>167098340
Dodge

>>167098431
Cheap and anti-fun
also dif. anon.

>>167098463
so why use the gat if you have to dodge out of it, why not just gunspam

>>167098115
>being this much of a try hard
You'll be right at home with Bloodtinge.

This is not "your opponent being stupid" is "leading them to be stupid", baiting and punishing is a valid strategy. Besides, having variety is never a bad thing given that 50 Vit will give up at most one extra hit to survive, you have to choose between attack and defense. Levels matter nothing when facing a good or bad player.

Alright before I go full austimo
Does some have a pic of % arc/flat arc radial gems
I need to know if these even exist

>>167098567
Shoot after dodging, Gat is quicker than any gun once the bullets start rolling. You don't need to keep shooting with the Gat either, it's mostly for pressure and not as obvious as gun spamming with an Evelyn unless you're holding for more than 5 seconds.

kek, Hibiki you motherfucker

>>167098485
>saif
>anti-fun
>when saws exist
wew

>>167098761
The gat sucks, anon. All you have to do is strafe right or hold up the Locke shield to completely neutralize it.

>>167098708
Ebrietas, technically. You can get 24.8% Arc with a +15 Flat secondary.
Or, Brainsuckers for whatever primary and plenty of a Flat Arc secondary.

>>167098708
They are fairly common rate 16-17 9.1% +67.5 with roaming brainsuckers in some layer 1 pthumeru. I didn't bother looking for better ones.

>>167098761
but you can't parry with it and you're just hoping someone will get antsy, strafing easily makes it a joke

>>167098885
Those are tempering
I'm farming them now for arc primary with flat arc

>>167098867
>Ebrietas
>Radial

I don't know if he wants to go THAT autistic.

>>167098867
>Radial
Ignore me, I'm a silly sausage. Can't get Eb in Isz. But you can get Brainsuckers in Ihyll anyways
>>167098946
Don't think you can get that in Ihyll. Try an offshape.

>>167098946
Yes, I misread that. Unfortunately I only got triangles, so the only ones I'd know would be off-shapes.

>>167098854
>>167098890
I use it with the Best Cuter so they get close enough. The problem with the Gat is it's range.

>>167098854
Nah, shields are pretty bad against the Gat since it'll drain your stamina fairly quick. Strafing is really the only problem but like I said it's mainly for pressure.

>>167098890
Then switch to a secondary gun that can parry. Or get enough Arc for Augur.

>>167098946
Arcane is technically part of the Ihyll pool, so Brainsuckers actually CAN drop Arcane primaries. It's incredibly rare, though.

>>167099012
>>167099017
Fuck I don't know what's worse
Farming radial with low chance of arc
Or
Farming boss for oos

Oh well thanks guys

>>167098805
The Saif does everything the saws do but to a whole new level. And the fuckin cancerous dash attacks

>>167099136
Awesome thanks anon

>>167098773
I had a double take when he popped in. Right during the opening cutscene, yeah? Kek, love the guy.

>>167099292
When you're shooting up close its harder to strafe out of it.

If I'm doing a SKL build the reiter is better untricked, right? It seems to be doing more damage that way, at least when testing on random mobs.

>>167099242
Sounds like you haven't dealt with saw spear meta.

>>167099994
Reiter is always skill except the bullet. You shoot with L1 untricked, R2 tricked.

>>167099994
Untricked is mostly Thrust and I'm guessing has more range so I suppose so. Tricked is still pretty good and quick, I don't think the dash r1 untricked is Thrust while tricked is.

>>167100241
>>167100307
Suppose deciding is moveset then. I don't much like losing the ability to charge attack without needing to untrick first.

>>167099994
Untricked does more damage and has more range, but it's slower. Both are affected by skill, the only part that is not is the gun. However with 27.2% gems even the gun will deal ok damage.

>tfw gehrman is the hardest boss for you

>>167099994
Tricked R1 is pretty good for stun locking humanoid enemies, especially if you get them into a wall. It's also useful if you're focusing on parrying the enemy (on PvP it will make your intentions obvious though). The issue is that the sidestep attack has a pretty weird tracking, so I'm usually untricked unless I'm aiming for those two situations.

>>167100748
Only good Skilltinge is 50/50, so if you aren't going that high go Pure.

I got 37 str and 25 skl right now and I'm thinking about trying out something that isn't the LHB. How much damage would I lose if went with the whirligig?

Great.

>>167101931
Fire stake drivers work well with oil urn for the fireworks. And damage should be close to the quality build with two cold abyssals and one fire abyssal. It doesn't lose much without physical since it doesn't have very convenient thrust attacks.

>>167106512
>How 2 arc claws?

You don't.

>>167106512
You can't, since beasthood only boosts physical.

>>167106436
Chances are everyone involved was part of the college. Maria was distant nobility on a scholarship or some shit, more than likely related to the faglord who fucked off with the forbidden blood to Cainhurst, Gehrman was also probably a scholar or student there, maybe he was a mercenary, the place would need some muscle on their excursions into the Labyrinths. But he was there at the beginning. Probably taught engineering.

>>167106668
>>167106719
So no elemental claws for me? fug

>>167106887
You can, but they're shit because any damage other than physical will not be affected by beasthood.

>>167107715
Don't read guides, play blind. Be aggressive.
Leave /bbg/ till you finish your first playthrough.

>>167107715
there are a couple of optional areas to hit up if you end up getting smacked around too much so go look around if you can't kill the dog
also gtfo

>>167107715
Keep your distance. Let her approach you by dodging away from one of her attacks.

Like most enemies in BB, she has trouble turning. Just watch her hands for when she does moves that can slash behind her.

Strike her hands and her face and she will get staggered.

Dodge her heaviest attacks (prayer dunk, jump attack) to the sides at the last possible second.

That's all the advice I'll give

>>167106512
Just the regular claws since 2 radials and a triangle is ideal for arc damage, git yourself some cold abyssals on that shit.

>>167106719
Who cares, building up beasthood in PvP and even PvE is pretty much impossible outside of Cainhurst.

I see people bring this shit up all the time, but really, it doesn't matter at all.

Any suggestions for beating Logarius on a BLT build? I'm level 63 with 25/14/20/15/33/6 and a +3 Saw Cleaver. Should I pump Str a little more (25 or so) since I plan on using the Bloodletter eventually anyway?

I do very little damage to him per hit and he keeps spamming the sword plant/rain attack in his second phase.

>>167113671
I have not gotten anything. I think you should either solo it or wait for someone else. Sorry m8

>>167114773
Parry him as much as possible and visceral. For the second phase, when he starts to charge up the aoe leading to it, backstab him and you can parry him easy.

>>167114773
Niggah you should have your cleaver at +7 by now. Upgrade the cleaver, use bolt paper and shoot the sword when he plants it down.

>>167114773
Don't you have the materials for at least a +5 weapon yet? There is even a chunk in the castle.

>>167103252
>>167103308
I don't see how they are failures when they seem to be much more powerful and dangerous than the regular blue "celestials"

>>167114987
>>167115107
I was saving my materials to upgrade another weapon, but I might as well upgrade the cleaver for now since I won't have Bowblade or Bloodletter for a while. I had no idea that I could shoot the sword, I thought I had to whack it. I'm a dumbass.

>>167115419
No point in holding upgrades up to +6, you can literally already farm them in hypogean gaol.

Only chunks are rare until you get to depth 4/5 chalices.

>>167115575
Yeah, I have an overabundance of twin and regular shards. I guess I was paranoid because I started running out of materials on my last character because I was leveling so many weapons.

I may be drunk, but just let me rant for a bit. I love this fucking game, and I cant keep away from it. I got it in September of last year, got to Gascoigne and then put the game away for a couple months when I couldnt overcome him due to anxiety. Finally I got the motivation to pick it up again, and a bro from here helped me beat him. Now I smoke him without a problem. I love the atmosphere of this game, and I love how I can destroy shit a variety of different ways. Xenoblade Chronicles was my favorite game before I got a PS4, but this fucking game had blown it out. Thank you guys, out of the bottom of my heart, for being so helpful and so welcoming. Sorry for the blog. Cheers

Scariest, but worst.

I feel honest, genuine panic when I see one, or red spiders or a Madman. Nailed the enemy design but, even though they're all fucking awful.

>>167124772
It's even worse as an invader, standing next to this thing while it walks passively by you, collapsing eyes blinking stupidly in your direction.

>>167124312
Learn to parry, and Maria is literally the easiest boss in the game... its almost sad to be honest. But I beat her in about 8 viscerals.

Tried to shoot Logarius's sword after he planted it in phase 2. Shit didn't work. He's still stomping my shit. Having all of your main damage dealing weapons locked in the late game sucks.

>>167126270
I've been managing to get her with a few parry's. Still taking a bit to master though.

>>167126270
I like to attack her 3 or 4 times in a row then itnerrupt an attack and visceral her, back off to stam regen and do it over again

Why can't I put a third gem on my Saw Spear +5? Does it have to be at a certain level?

Is there anything you can do about Wet Nurse's "black fog and teleporting duplicate" attack? I've just been running around in circles waiting it out each time but that very obviously doesn't seem like the intended method.

>>167126945
+6.

>>167126969
You can interrupt it while she prepares it. Her duplicate dies in one hit.

>>167126734
There's a slight delay when he places it down after which you can successfully shoot it, use a pistol and be sure it's in range too.

>>167120916

Thanks.

>>167127248
I got him. After he stopped spamming it it became a lot easier to deal with him. Hell of a rush.

>>167127056
Is it a case like DaS3 Pontiff where it's gone for good, or will it keep re-appearing for the duration?

>>167127581
It's gone until the end I think. She can resummon it if she casts her fog again though. You should be able to beat her before she uses it twice though.

For me, its the Spear Gun and whatever the Vileblood gun sword is called.

Piercing Rifle and Ludwig's Rifle, they have too much recoil.

>>167133550

I don't like using the chikage much though, it's too tiresome even if it has good damage. Maybe if I had 50 skill and 50 blood I'd enjoy it better.

Out of all my time, I don't think I've ever actually used Ludwig's Holy Blade in combat of any kind. Second least used goes to Milkweed Parasite.

Turn it around, most used weapon? Not necessarily your favorite, though it's likely to be the same, but the one you've used the most of any. Mine is I think a tossup between the Wheel and the Stake Driver, with probably either the Moonlight Sword or the Saw Spear in close second.

>>167134259

I guess it's not really viable to farm the gems without PS+. What a shame. FromSoft didn't strike me like a company that would employ p2w in their games, but they actually did it.

>>167138014
Pro tip: after looting a Sarcophagus in a dungeon, after dying or hunters marking go back to it. There will be a Madmans knowledge or Great Ones wisdom.

Also wear Vileblood rune so NPC Huntets drop blood dregs, for more free insight.

>>167138256
Just once or after every reset? Because 2 insight per sarcophagus isn't much, considering there's usually only one or two of those per layer. Still isn't nearly enough to make up for the cost of the ritual materials.

>>167138256
>Also wear Vileblood rune so NPC Huntets drop blood dregs, for more free insight.

Nigga, you're a meme. Arcane is the most powerful build. Sure, it starts slower than the physical ones, but every build has to go through the gem farm, not just arc.
If you want a meme build - try bloodtinge.

fucking why

>>167139585

Bloodtinge doesn't synergize with anything else. Chikage, Bloodletter and Bowblade all only benefit from Blt in one mode and Skl or Str in the other.

>>167138256
>Pro tip: after looting a Sarcophagus in a dungeon, after dying or hunters marking go back to it. There will be a Madmans knowledge or Great Ones wisdom.
This didn't work for me. Am I stupei?

>>167139585
You could finish them under a day if you know what you're doing. Skill also has it easy when it comes to farming gems, and since Blt is affected by Physical gems you don't really have to go anywhere else past standard 27.2% Phys gems. 50/50 Bowblade is pretty fun too.

>>167139801
It works if you what you picked up wasn't a Madman's Knowledge already. Quitting and reloading should spawn one once too I think.

Unironically what is this

>>167100748
As long as you realize the limitations of Bloodtinge scaling on weapons, then you should do whatever you want.

Really just depends on what weapons you enjoy using.

>>167144228
The game probably keeps rendering too many things it shouldn't even when they're obscured or entirely off-screen.

Could someone explain how the buff on the Tony and Boom Hammer works? Is it like the Wheel where the physical scaling goes down or it just adds bolt/fire damage that scales with arc on top of the phys damage?

>>167144417
For Toni:
>When Transformed, Tonitrus gets +0.40 Arcane Scaling, 70% bonus bolt damage, and +40 flat Bolt damage. The Arcane Scaling bonus does not appear in the stat screen, while the 70% bonus bolt damage and +40 flat bolt damage do. "Fool's" effect seen in stat screen has no effect on actual damage.

As for Boomhammer, it just says it deals fire only when tricked. So I'm guessing tricking just adds the fire you see on the screen on top of the Blunt damage without anything special. Still hits pretty hard with Nourishings.

It synergizes well with Str because of the BL, and a lot of the fun weaponry requiring high str.

The % boost is applied before Flat Bolt gems, so you want Nourishing gems that stack with that bolt boost multiplicitivly.

Or Bolt % gems if you have base STR.

Not really. With DLC Bloodborne would probably overstayed its welcome, and From is not capable of making a proper sequel, unfortunately.

Depth doesn't affect gem drops right?
Also for a quality build with church pick, regular physical gems or thrust up? It only has a few non thrust attacks.

>>167148252
Probably not. As much as I want some elaboration on certain details of the world, Bloodborne's general story is rather fleshed-out and finished.

But I would absolutely want a new game with a new setting with Bloodborne's dodge mechanics, rally and interesting weapons. I guess if Miyazaki tries really hard a story in Bloodborne's world but in a completely different place far away from Yharnam would work. So the same time period and cosmology, with Great Ones and stuff, but different history, people and organizations.

> Depth doesn't affect gem drops right?

Uh, yeah it does.

Depth 5 is the best gems, by far. I'm pretty sure depth also increases droprate, since getting a Depth 3 Scorpion to drop a Dirty gem is borderline impossible, but in Depth 5 FRC dungeons they drop like candy.

Sorry, what I meant was the depth inside dungeons, layers.

>Item that can increase blood gem ratings and effects.
On second thought, just make it so you can share storage with your other characters.

if you encounter a pthumerian descendant boss as a boss in layer 1or layer 2 of a dungeon, he cannot drop an abyssal. If you encounter him as a boss in layer 3 or layer 4, he can

>>167149117
i dont think so my friendo, if you look on the list for top tier farmable gems alot of them are in layer 1

>>167149301
oh then this >>167149252 can onto this >>167149301 then if its regarding abyssals abyssals i guess

>>167149301
That's because you don't need to clear three whole layers to access the boss every time. The deeper layer bosses have higher chance of dropping abyssals.

>if you look on the list for top tier farmable gems alot of them are in layer 1
it's always just Merciless Watchers who people farm on layer 1, because their gems don't have a secondary effect, so their primary effect is so much stronger. If you could find them as a boss on layer 3, an abyssal gem from watchers would probably be like +30% physical damage (or more)

I wouldn't want a sequel if sony or from had ever even considered letting bamco near it. Another DLC definitely should have been made but we got stuck with the disgusting amalgamation of BB DLC/sequel that was tied to the roots of different games in the form of DaS3.
As for the content, well that's where I draw a blank. I believe people don't know what they want until they have it. When DaS first came out and I bought it on a whim after seeing some streams on /v/, I thought it was the shit. Best game in years. I had no idea that I wanted to play something like that, and something that frustrating (back then). Fast forward a couple of years, and from releases a sort of spinoff that puts a new twist on a lot of things, some tweaks and changes, and bam - game of the generation. Again, I didn't know I wanted dark souls but faster, more brutal, and focused on offense rather than defense. So my point is, it's up to from and miyazaki to decide on what their future games/sequel to BB contain. I trust them to do a good job if they're not shackled to bamco.

I want a DLC where we visit the Pthumerian civilization as it is starting it's fall. I am a bit tired of exploring ruins after the fact.

replace kkvk8gsj with bigkr99w please

kkvk is so fucking hard. There are witches and hunters everywhere and there is a roaming HMPH guarding the lever on layer 3

And I am a bit tired of clicking back on my tab and seeing that a retarded faggot has once again replied to my post, under the impression that he is somehow above everyone else on the website who doesn't also wear a gigantic glowing neon sign advertising their presence. I don't give a good goddamn what you want, and - news flash - nobody else here does either.

Sorry everyone, that's the one and only time I'll reply to he who must not be named. I should have filtered him ages ago. It's funny sometimes to see his demented honking be roundly mocked, but it's not worth the constant annoyance.

You think I am unique enough to follow me from thread to thread and shit post at me with no on topic substance to your posts, so that must make me pretty special in your eyes.
