Reposting from last thread.

It's been a while since I've played. Anyone up for some coop in the first dlc area? Pw is bbg

That laugh she does is hot as fuck.

Though, while I would do it myself, I'm at work. You pretty much picked one of the worst times to peek by, European times do not treat /bbg/ well at all.

I'd like to tag along

>blt builds
youtube.com/watch?v=VRybwO2VaoI#t=1m56s

What the actual fuck is that damage.

Sure I'll join, not sure how much help I'd be though.

>playing an arcane build against orphan

I've never felt so absurdly weak as I have right now. I have utter shit fire gems, I don't know where to get better fire gems, and he's so fucking resistant to bolt that I barely break 200 damage a hit on him.
>just visceral attack him

That does dick for damage too.

>Celestial Emissary boss fight
>Shaman Bone Blade a group of 3 ayys
>Sit back and watch

I am enjoying this immensely.

>Flat arc rifle spear
Old glitch that let rifle spears do broken amounts of damage. Got patched long ago though.

I died. Ringing at the 2nd lamp if u wanna retry.

>I don't know where to get better fire gems
FRC Hotdog.

Definitely, but I gotta run to the Nightmare Church real quick

I haven't gotten that deep into Chalice Dungeons yet.

Should I reactivate my ps+ to play some co-op?

$50 for a year ain't a bad deal.

Thanks. I've gotten a little rusty plus this weapon is slow as hell but it hits hard.

why is Madaras Whistle SO SHITTY

Not gonna tell you to do so but if you do decide to resub, get the free games of the month which are RE HD and Transformers Devastation which are pretty good.

It's not shitty if you're a BLT build though.

Sadly, this month's games are absolute trash.

It's november user

>transformers anything
>good

But it takes 5 bullets and does less damage than you could do with 1 bullet with a well-aimed fully charged Bow R2

I'm from the Asian region and I got Saints Row 4 Reelected and Blazblu Chronophantasma Extend which is pretty good imo.

>actual people paid actual money for everyone's gone to the rapture
the world is a scary place

>asians get better treatment than whitu piggus

Sometimes Sony's blatant racism is hilarious. This time, it's not.

Meh, SR3-4 kinda sucked IMO.

I wish they'd put more shit from PS2 on there.

Front Mission 4 when

What the fuck is her problem?

dunno about the other one, but The Deadly Tower of Monsters has been pretty fun so far, bit simple from a gameplay perspective, but from a visual and writing one it's pretty great

Speculation hat on.

Oedon tried to impregnate her, assuming that the little library prior to Oedon Chapel belong to her. (The other ones are related to Oedon Chapel, hence the assumption.) She didn't have corrupted/filthy blood enough to get impregnated. Same reason why Adella goes insane. Those 2 drop Oedon Writhe runes and go bonkers.

Adelline is the only one who actually is able to get impregnated due to her blood being related to Cainhurst, thus has deeply corrupted blood.

>tfw last thread hit 820 replies before anyone noticed it was over bump limit

dude why did you screenshot my post

>coldblood (3) gives you 1000 echoes
>coldblood (7) gives you 2000 echoes

Why are there 4 levels of echo consumables between 1k and 2k?

What's the general consensus on Burial Blade? Yay or nay?

Church pick is like a god-tier version rendering BB obsolete but doesn't look as cool.

It's great.

Beasthood affect only physical damage and not blood(letter/chikage) damage, correct?

Someone willing to help me with the loran darkbeast?

Pass is bbg

Do people make second (and then some) characters once they've done everything with their first?

My Arc character is maxed, gemmed up, and am halfway through NG+ and I have a hankering to make a Skill character with BoM and Burial Blade

No, most people just have one character.

anyone need any help

I would but I've long since removed that chalice for root dungeon farming

what is srrc

If you're still looking for help I'll join

everyone ITT who likes bloodborne please reply

>kill Paarl
>game crashes as I'm getting my echoes
>reload
>paarl alive

fuck off from I want my 30 seconds back

Recommended weapon for bolt gem infusion? Tonitrus has served me well but the shittiness of its moveset is grating on me now. I'm thinking Cane, Kirk, and/or Axe

Saw Spear

Already using if for fire, and as great as it is, I don't want to be using it all the time

Saif if you can get it but lightning kirk can be good shit.

With 50/25 Str/Skl how do heavy abyssal'd Skl weapons compare to a pure 50 Skl build with 10 Str?

I'd like Bloodborne if it were more like pic related.

They're manageable. Not particularly amazing, but useable.

Which Skill weapons were you thinking of using?

Church Pick or Cane most likely.

Only good thing about that image is verbose inventory messages.

Church Pick will do very well since you have Thrust gems to take advantage of.

At 50/25, for example, your AR will be 296 without gems, as opposed to the 315 of a 25/50 build. So you're not losing out on much at all.

>1 HA + (2) 32.6% Thrust Gems
176 + [(176 * 1.05 * .85) + (176 * .7 * .5)] * 1.326 * 1.326
= 692

>(3) 32.6% Thrust Gems
176 + [(176 * .4 * .85) + (176 * .7 * .5)] * 1.326 * 1.326 * 1.326
= 690

So going for 1 HA and farming 2 Thrust gems will do you well. I'll run some numbers for the Threaded Cane.

Needs a little marker next hollow circle indicating it's for tricked/untricked.

I remember when I first started I had no idea what that icon was supposed to indicate at all

desu it's an unnecessary part of the UI, there aren't any weapons that have no visual difference between tricked and untricked

I still have no idea what half the icons are that appear indicating status changes. No doubt showing me what curses are on my gems or any other benefits, but I don't know what they are by their little picture alone.

Do you have any idea what the best AR for 50/50 might be? Probably LHB right? With 27.2%

I take it you've never played Demon's Souls?

I've played every game, I never knew what they meant in any of them.

anyone need help? or is anyone up for helping me 100% the early chalices? trying to get to FRC asap.

What's your level m80

if you're rushing to FRCs you aboslutely dont want to "100%" anything.

Run through, grab the materials you'll need, and get out.

90. Im in Central Pthu, Layer 3.

Also, Why is my Kos Parasite so shit? Im on 60 Arc and its +9 and it does fuck all for damage. I feel really let down.

Parasite REALLY needs gems to make it worthwhile.
Anyway, I'll ring when I boot up muh Nintendo.
Tell me where you'll be and what pass to use

Alright, so the Threaded Cane isn't as pretty.

Your AR at 50/25 is 264.

>2 HA + 27.2% Gem
156 + [(156 * 1.59 * .85) + (156 * .9 * .5)] * 1.272
= 554

>(3) 27.2% Gems
156 + [(156 * .29 * .85) + (156 * .9 * .5)] * 1.272 * 1.272 * 1.272
= 543

For reference, a single HA and (2) 27.2% gems gives you 445.

At 50/50 Strength Skill? I think it's Ludwig's Holy Blade with Blunt gems, actually.
>(3) 32.6% Blunt Gems
200 + [(200 * .8 * .85) + (200 * .8 * .85)] * 1.326 * 1.326 * 1.326
= 1100

I could be wrong, though. I definitely recall some user posting some crazy LHB AR, and I remember the number being something like 1400. Or maybe I just have terrible memory.

sorry, Lyaer 2 and pass is bbg

Would it even be worth going to 50/50 then?

Yes.

Your AR will be beastly, absolutely disgustingly high, but depending on the level range you plan to stay in, you might have to sacrifice a ton of Vitality.

Really, it's up to you. If it's insane damage you're looking for, go for it. But farming those Blunt gems will be a nightmare.

>But farming those Blunt gems will be a nightmare.
Tell me about it, I'm currently farming thrust for 2 characters...

Im on layer 3 now chalice-user. I get lost in these dungeons incredibly easy, you'll have to bare with me.

No worries, I'm using SRRC so it may take a while to connect me.

Godspeed, user.

Godspeed.
