Evelynn is at +6 as well, though it's not like there's aything fancy there, it's just damage. S Rank in Bloodtinge already though, is there much or a reason to get this to +10?

higher base damage, higher scaling = more return on investment from your stats and your blood gems

I can't find explicit confirmation on this (because all of the damage calculators use the +10 weapons with max scaling values) but I'm close to certain that your scaling in bloodborne continues to go up all the way to +10.

important thing to know about all souls games is that the scaling tooltip doesn't tell you any useful information beyond 'this weapon is good with this stat.' your weapon might say S scaling already (I think it at +6 it should say A, not S though. are you sure it says S already?), but the ratio could still go up from 1.3 to 1.5 or something and the game just won't ever tell you because the math is all hidden. additionally, two weapons that both say A could have values of 1.1 and 0.86

there's just no consistency or logic behind it.

but yeah if you plan to use the evelyn to deal damage, you should upgrade it to +10. you could also ignore the evelyn and just use the bowblade to shoot arrows instead. the bowblade is going to do more damage per shot, but the evelyn can shoot projectiles buffed with bone marrow ash.

this actually might be a case where the repeating pistol could potentially shine. you use your bow for ranged damage shots normally, and keep the repeating pistol to use specifically for BMA increased shots only. this would actually justify the cost of an extra bullet for the added damage, since it will be getting a multiplier as well. and since you have a spammable ranged projectile in your right hand, it doesn't feel bad to waste a left handed slot on the repeating pistol. if I was doing another BLT build right now I might consider trying this out.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
