Is this thing actually good outside of PvP? Compared to my blood uchigatana it has split damage and lower bleed buildup, also I have bloody slash on my uchigatana which does a ton of damage and it really good at dealing with enemies that are immune to hemorrhage. The AoW on Rivers of Blood is pretty good, but it takes a ton of FP, especially compared to bloody slash.
>>735066230This sword looks like the kind of shit you see in Adventure Quest
>>735066276A lot of the weapons in the game are fugly.
>>735066230it's a nortubel tier sword
That thing was only good before they nerfed it like 3 times in a row. Nowadays it's a noob trap that plaily doesn't work for pvp.
The ash is basically a free bleed proc, bloody slash for sure is more FP efficient but you need to get it off 3 or 4 times for a bleed effect, one full corpse piler combo will proc most bosses
>>735066640I don't know what that means.>>735066826I'll try it out for a while, I'm not using somber stones otherwise. It might also be that my arcane is only at 25. It seems to have better arcane scaling so maybe it shines at higher levels.

>>735066640KILL YOURSELF
>>735066230It was great in PVE for it's ease of use and absurd Bleed build up (which is the actual overpowered part), not necessarily because the weapon itself is overpowered or anything. >>735066276That's a good thing.
>>735066230Its not good for pvp either. What makes a weapon good is if it works against high skill players.
Fromsoft literally can't do shit anymore all the good stuff was stolen from Japan studio, like everything, everything
>>735066230Most of the hype for RoB was before it got nerfed a couple times, though it is still a good weapon. If you're running a bleed build I think dual curved swords are best for pve.
>>735068441I was thinking about dual wielding curved swords because I want to try out power stancing and the moveset for power stanced katanas is kinda weird to me.
i used it on malenia and beat her quickly, strong cheese
>>735068509The dual curved sword jump and run attacks are very good for bleed and multi-hit builds. If setup right you can kill a lor of bosses/enemies in seconds.
>>735068576How is it against normal mobs? The lack of reach seems like an issue.
>>735068591One handed curved swords handle normal mobs easily enough in most cases, dual wield attacks will one-shot in a lot of cases but are slightly slower. If you're running an arcane setup with seppuku vs bleedable mobs you will kill them very fast. and without that using an occult weapon still performs very well. In pretty much every souls game except maybe 2, curved swords are pretty good at clearing out normal mobs.
