MariaTaylor 07/07/20 7:03:11 PM #210:	Amygdala is my least favorite. Bloodborne has a lot of really well designed bosses that have very dynamic behavior. Amygdala is the only one I can think of where it can be cheesed super easily, and the method to force it into an AI loop is SO common that a new player could conceivably do it accidentally. It just feels really disappointing when you compare bosses like Father Gascoigne, and then you see Amygdala jump straight up into the air and land without damaging the player (even if the player stands completely still) over and over again. Second least favorite is Rom. As I mentioned above, I think it's one of the most boring bosses. Similar to my complaints above, I think that most of the bosses in the game are very dynamic and impressive. Rom has very few attacks and contrary to people who think the fight is RNG, you actually have a LARGE degree of control over what Rom does. Combined with the fact that it takes time to set up safe opportunities to attack, this leads to a fight that is both formulaic and tends to be overly long. Peace___Frog posted... Thanks for the arcane advice no problem! and since you mentioned earlier about not understanding arcane builds and stuff, let me give a few more points of advice: When you put an elemental gem into a weapon, it converts the damage from 100% physical to 100% elemental. You lose ALL of your strength and skill scaling, and you get 0.55 of that amount as Arcane scaling instead. This means that you should ONLY put points into Strength and Skill as needed for weapon requirements. Weapons that already have Arcane damage by default (Holy Moonlight Sword, Tonitrus, Boom Hammer), cannot be converted to 100% arcane damage. For this reason... It seems counterintuitive, but pure physical weapons tend to be good for arcane builds -- since you can fully convert them to arcane scaling and damage. While weapons with split damage tend to be better for mixed or quality builds. The Boom Hammer, for example, requires no Arcane investment but allows you to get bonus fire damage in addition to your Strength scaling. The Saw Cleaver, when converted to Arcane, allows you to get 100% scaling from your maxed out Arcane stat. With all this in mind you should understand that Arcane Builds tend to have a LOT of stat points to play around with. You can easily get 50 Vit and 50 Arcane with no troubles. All of the hunter tools continue to scale up to 99 Arcane. This means you can even do a 99 Arcane, 50 Vitality build with minimum Strength and Skill and it's going to be very strong. Augur of Ebrietas is your go to damage dealer. It has the best ratio of damage for spending 1 quicksilver bullet, and it absolutely murders most enemies in the game by simply knocking them on the ground repeatedly. Most enemies have no answer to this strategy. I always keep it on me when playing chalice content, since you can shut down most of the mid bosses who guard levers and treasure chests. Executioner's Gloves are good ranged attacks for enemies who tend to dodge sideways (shadows of yharnam, the fire katana dude whose name I always forget). They have a slight amount of tracking that causes the projectiles to curve sideways into the target. Tiny Tonitrus is good for enemies who can't be staggered, and those who dodge forward (Gehrman is the perfect example of this). You essentially form a curtain of lightning in front of yourself and the enemy must always walk through it and take damage to approach you. Blacksky Eye is pretty underwhelming. You'd think the ability to hit a target with a standard projectile at range would be useful but it lags behind the others in damage, and the other tools all have their specialized roles which make them stand out. Usually one of the three mentioned above is best for the situation. I almost never equip the Blacksky Eye. A Call Beyond is really good when NPCs use it against you. It's pretty underwhelming when you use it against enemies. Even in the situations where it's optimal to use it, I always felt a bit disappointed. Combined with the high QS cost, this is another one I tend not to keep equipped. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:941811375] in Bloodborne...
