What was his "honorable revenge," anyway? Seems like a huge commitment to take a huge journey to put down one single beast. At least he had a nice hat.

why did they downgrade the weapon movesets and combat in DaS 3? I just can't go back to it each weapon class has like 10 weapons but they all do the same thing, and all the fun moves are weapon arts so you don't have freedom to do what you want and the combat feels so weightless really hope shadows die twice feels more like bloodborne
He didn't become evil, he just went a little insane. We got him out of it, though.

>tfw accidentally doing a visceral on Eileen during the Henryk fight
Now I'll feel bad when I'll see her bleeding out at the cathedral, because that is partly my fault
Ethan Clark
Yamamura. Valtr just ate a beast out of revenge, Yamamura got locked in a cell. He appeared to be making an escape hole in the wall with his head when he got the door for him.
They leave whether she died or not up to your imagination. Personally I feel like she walked away from that one.

Haha, holy shit can you close the main gate too? Are there any other invadable areas where you can be a cheeky shortcut closer?

This is the reason why I hate spelunks. Thanks for hosting.. I guess.

Anyone feel like doing the daily run of Cainhurst with me? Pass bbg
Are there enough weapons in a skill build for me to feel like I have choices?
Can I use skill weapons on a quality build or will it be shit?
I'm super anxious about selecting military veteran and thinking I'll want skill based build later.
Levi Thomas
Going STR/SKL gives you a lot of options. Go 25/25 and see what weapons you like, then pump the stat that scales the best with them.
Oliver Martin
There's more than enough Skl weapons available, and Mil Vet is ideal for starting. The high starting Str will help you hit the softcap for Str, without adding excess points into Blt and Arc. Violent Past is also an option, since you'll be getting the same end. Quality doesn't exist, an even split between Str and Skl is useless. You might get benefits from something like the Stake Driver, but Heavy Abyssal gems make it better with Str.

No not invest in stamina at all, especiay if you like light weapons. Trust me, this is not dark souls. There are runes to equip which increase stamina, you will never need anything more. In fact it is such a non-issue that the most popular weapon upgrade set-ups incorporate upgrades that increase the stamina penalty of the weapon and nobody even cares.
William Jones
BL80 best invasion range
Xavier Gutierrez
Oh really? I don't need points in stamina? That's good. I started with the cane and military veteran. the whip sword form seems super weak though.
Christian James
Cane is incredibly slow to start but becomes fantastic when it gets upgraded and you pump your skill. In the meantime, you chose hard mode. Good luck mate.
Jose Wood
I forgot what the easiest way of refilling your supplies is. Apparently going back to the Dream and then out again doesn't do it.
Juan Allen
You need retrieve from the storage of you have them, buy if not. I always buy shit cause it's faster than using storage.
Jason Flores
Well that sucks, I thought there was some automatic way to do it, like rolling off a cliff does for your vials/bullets.
Jaxon Martinez
Depends on the item. Other items won't restock, but blood vials and bullets restock automatically from storage when you return to the Hunter's dream (Your health also refills completely for free, which doesn't happen when leaving the Hunter's dream.) If those are not restocking, you ran out.
Wyatt Perez
Why do people build for ludwig's holy blade when the holy moonlight sword exists?
Joseph Myers
LHB trashes on HMLS.
Blake Harris
>Why do people build for a weapon that can be used by two different playstyles (B/B str/skl or A arcane) instead of one specific build (str/arc and needs too much stamina?)
It's not useful enough to justify the build though. Too specific of a build, I like to have options.
Nathan Fisher
>50/25 strength build w/ 15 arc is too specific, can't use any other weapons with it >50/ARC w/converted weapons on hand is too specific, can't use any other weapons with it! Hunter tools aren't options in either case!
If I'm going for strength, building for LWB means I can also build for Whirlgig, Hunter's Axe, etc (all weapons I use at different points for different purposes) thus I am not locked onto a single weapon.) Likewise, If I'm building for arcane, I have my choice of 3 elements to convert to.
If I go for a specific str/arc to use MLGS, I do have other options, but they're somewhat limited. Tonitrus and Boom hammer can put out good damage, but aren't as fun or versatile. Wheel can work well, but unless you spent upwards of 10 hours hunting for the autistically perfect gems to slot it with, it has a tendency to lean one way or the other with regards to damage.
Camden Mitchell
Addendum: building LWD solely for arcane means I cam fit pretty much any weapon with decent arcane scaling in as a second option; saif, saw spear, etc.
Jeremiah Long
>Boom Hammer >not fun Look at this thing. How is this not fun?
I didn't say it wasn't ANY fun, but it feels sluggish compared to other weapons. Although I must admit, cheesing brainsuckers from behind walls with fully charged tricked attacks is hilarious.
Nicholas Green
Would have been better if it only lost it's fire on a full charge attack or jump attack
Austin White
remind me again why people vehemently deny this is the best weapon in the game, because they're so painfully wrong.
Better yet, would have been better if it was two handed when tricked, and L2 untricked in a 360 spin to spread flames out around you at twice the attack range. That would have been perfect for anti-ganking.
Camden Ortiz
I almost feel bad about one shotting these low level invaders.
...no...that's a lie. Fuck em'
Carson Sanders
Why do hackers even do pvp?
Logan Green
Because they find it fun to kill 2 people with one ludwig's shoot.
Noah Roberts
All what's the damage difference between Ludwig's and Blunderbuss at 50 tinge but without blt gems? I have a regen Blunderbuss but won't ludwig's do better damage on rare occasion I shoot it because of higher base?
Samuel Rivera
They probably got sick of the "muh 98" posts and just snapped.
