Topic	Bloodborne DLC question plz

EDIT: I'm biased af since Bloodborne is an all-time top tenner for me, but I encourage you to just start over so you can re-spec your character and so you don't put yourself through a brutal NG+ DLC. I generally agree with Lisel - don't touch any other stats until your VIT is at 30, and then you can level your STR and DEX such that you have the minimum requirements for the Church Pick or whichever main weapon you want to use. If you stick to VIT and upgrading your Saw Cleaver early on, you'll reach the DLC (and its weapons) way earlier than you think. I was going to say something like this as well, honestly. If you are planning to replay the game I would recommend just... replaying it on a new file and doing the DLC then. You're not likely to get much out of NG+, especially with this character. Enemies are going to be punching you like you've got 50 Vit, you have 32. Enemies have HP bars that are expecting you to have 70+ points into damage dealing stats. You have only 51. The only stat you have that is "high" is endurance, which is the worst stat in the game. UshiromiyaEva posted... eah, Ludwig. I remember I wanted to use Kirkhammer but it ended up being, uhhhh....bad. I also wanted to try Blades of Mercy which is why I did get SOME skill, and it just wasn't working out. My general playstyle was circle, back attack once, circle, so I was in fact doing a lot of dodging which is prob why I did pump endurance to 30. Also explains my runes of choice I guess, lol. I like the Kirkhammer but it's basically just a slightly worse version of the Ludwig Holy Blade. And to top that off, I personally wouldn't recommend the LHB to new players. I understand why it's such an overrated weapon and why so many people flock to it. it promotes, encourages, and reinforces a very simplistic playstyle that allows people to succeed at the game even if they aren't very good at it. but I also believe that it heavily limits players and prevents them from learning important skills that they should be developing to get better at the core gameplay. pre-emptive attacking and spacing are often much better strategies than circle strafing, but they also require you to learn a bit more about the enemies you're fighting -- and you can't use the same tactics for every enemy. LHB is generally bad for pre-emptive attacking, and only decent for spacing. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:941451936] in Bloodborne...
