Its not like a subpar build has any role playing value. So I see no reason why you should force players to roll up another character just to play PVP the way they want or even just to try a new weapon to spice up PvE. Respeccing and upgrade abundance were just two of the QoL improvements DkS2 made that BB did away with for no real reason.
Ah so its like Rosmarinus, a PVP weapon, not bad. Church cannon I used on boss sucks poo. Maybe its cause I didn't use bone marrow but I only got 600 damage for 7 bullets yet my black sky eye does 400-800. SMH.

Bowblade is about it for Skill/bloodtinge. If you add strength to the mix, there's also the Bloodletter. But I think that's about it. Unless you're willing to go for a pure skill weapon like the Rakuyo.

The Gatling Gun is decent if, like me, you haven't invested a single point into bloodtinge. The low scaling doesn't matter because it has pretty high base damage, making it the highest damaging firearm I can even equip. It's been good for quickly finishing off enemies at a distance.
All right, bowblade sounds good. Isn't that quite far in the DLC, though? I don't think I actually looted it so far even though I got most of the other weapons.

It's at the last area of the DLC, hahah...
Well, if you don't want to kill a certain person that is.
Also, Reiterpallasch's shots is actually more powerful than even fully upgraded Evelyn at 50 BT, provided no BMA is used so... yeah.

Come on guys, like al Souls games there is no best weapon, but everyone keeps asking. It's how you like to play and what moveset you prefer.
I'm a skill build, and just got the church pick to +10. Before that I rocked blades of mercy and burial blade.
I prefer the pick over the burial blade because of it's speed, and I prefer the one handed moveset more.
Just found the rakuyo as well, but can't really use it because only just upgraded it to +5. Moveset seems really nice but you won't really know until you start fighting.
I also have the beast claws waiting for that new moveset, but I need to kill a certain boss first.
Is no one using amygdala arm as a weapon though? It seems quite cool?
But that's mean
Amy Arm has crazy range in tricked form, I don't like untricked form unfortunately, but that trick formed makes me be like threaded cane wat.
Except for Blueblood Sword.

i struggled pretty heavily at that level too on ng+ at first. things got easier the more i played, though.
all of the hunters are pretty easy to parry, especially the whip and hammer dudes. they have a long wind-up time during their attacks.

Honestly it isn't. You really think people can't dash away from you when you lurch slowly towards them with that gattling gun? It's better to just pursue and gun em in the face when they vial for a parry, if you can that is. But the gattling gun won't make any difference there.
Thing is I don't feel like I am forced to roll out a new character. I will gladly start over and build a character towards a specific weapon and see the build taking shape while learning to use the weapon. I already have 8 different builds that are all ready to go for PVP if I ever wanted. Also if you want to spice up PvE you should go to NG+ anyway since enemies in NG become a joke if you have +10 weapon with high stats. Then you get again bunch of materials to upgrade new weapons you want to try out.
I usually chuck a numbing mist or throw poison knives, I think I'm the only one that does that in PVP.
Like with most enemies / bosses, dodge into them (forward left or forward right), so their chain attacks don't hit you. Mid distance is bad against them so stay close, hit them, retreat or finish them of quickly.
Had the same problem in the beginning

ok. so the church cannon sucks going by impressions here. i'll focus on something else then.
Optional boss probably. No more 'story' content in the DLC.
Well, I like str weapons and while I love the moveset (and the knockdown power) of the Kirkhammer, in the end it doesn't hold a candle to either Ludwig's or Pizzacutter when it comes to actually killing things. The axe loses some of that amazing early game power too. That potential isn't even revealed until you fully upgrade everything to +10 and play for hours, not to mention that having only 2 blood rocks is really limiting unless you grind chalice mats (which I haven't done).

Oh you can get it from THAT guy. His life expectancy just got really short.

I guess the surprise factor of it being rarely used can make that work. Preferably when they're still bowing >

oh even worse, I hide as a messenger behind a door and GANK EM LOL! Blue Elixer works well too.
Oh, well fuck. I missed so many of the weapons I want.
You can still go pick up everything you missed though.
Oh, of course. I'm just now in the process of aimlessly wandering the environments.
I would be OK with a 1 time per character (not per NG) respec. Mainly because you have to do all of the chalice dungeons on every character (well, you don't , but let's be real, you have a huge disavantage if not).
Don't care much otherwise, I have like 6 character already, but a couple of them I would gladly respec them because I'm not 100% happy with them.
Started playing Hunter's nightmare last night, and holy shit at dem recycled assets: when I firstly got there, I honestly thought I chose the wrong headstone and I was in Oedon Chapel instead, LOL.
Dat skybox tho.
Enjoying the new enemies a lot, even though those dogs are a real pain in the ass. I finally died in that river of blood losing >200k blood echoes: god, I love this game sooo much.

Oh god it uses 10 bullets, and also it did only 1.1k damage + 9 church cannon to bloodletter beast in chalice with BONE ARROW MASH! Y YOU DO THIS FROM!
Hopefully its good in pvp cause wow that was bad lol.
The new gear looks nice and all, but I still can't part ways with my Hunter Garb
Niceee.
Hunter's Garb is best garb. Makes everyone look dapper as fuck. It's one of my favourite armour sets in all of Soulsborne tbh.
I would be okay with it as well. My first build was all over the place and I would have liked to jank points from useless stats I bumped. Now it is almost lvl200 though with lot of stats at 50 so I don't need the respeccing anymore.
I actually haven't done Chalices at all aside from one character that went through them all. I guess I should go get some better gems for other characters but I really don't want to go through Chalices again since you need to go through all the piss easy ones thoroughly so that you don't need to farm materials.

How do the new materials through the insight vendor work? Do you need to have acquired them first? Or completed certain dungeons?
Do you still need to do all those chalice dungeons for materials now that they're all sold through the vendor?

Hmm I saw the Henrick Grab item description during a loading time. Where do you get this ?

Beat Henryk.
It's the second part of Eileen the Crow's quest line. Speak to her in the Cathedral Ward after finding her in Central Yharnam sewers. You have to open all the Ward gates first.
As far as I know you unlock them to shops same way as before patches so you need to beat bunch of them and later ones unlock only after you beat the Ihyll Chalice.

I felt the same when I started the DLC, after I'd explored and looted the whole first area, I just started running past the chain hunter enemies, I couldn't be bothered dealing with them. Some of them you can take out easier whilst they are occupied with enemies, but if they're giving you a hard time I would suggest just running by them, after the first boss you don't have to deal with them any more.
