I walked into the DLC thinking it'd be so easy I'd even use a +8 weapon with mensis gems for regular enemies and only switching to my FRC gemmed stuff when I got invaded only broke that rule for orphan's final phase because **** that shrimp bubblegum ****
the DLC as a whole was a blast but now you either have to have a weapon with only stamina usage curses or two identical weapons with beast- and kin-down curses so you can guarantee you aren't gimped against some beastboy or ayylmao
you don't really need a kin weapon
i tried to use my +10 Saif with electric damage to kill them but in the end my +8 saw spear with fire gems was dealing double of it's damage
I meant against players, man
beast-down and kin-down gems are taken into account when you fight people using beast/kin oaths
my near perfect bolt saw spear is entirely kin-down so if I get invaded by a cauliflower I have to get used to dealing <70% of my normal damage
speaking of saif, I don't feel like I can go back to using any other weapon
if its untricked->tricked transform attack had the same damage multiplier as saw spear's it'd be perfect
Level really doesn't matter too much. Everything in it so far has a high damage potential (ESPECIALLY ON NG+ RUNS). My Lvl 80 is having a tough time but is faring equally as well as my Lvl 260 character. Once you figure out the attack patterns and evasion windows you should be golden. That said expect to get ****** really hard if you slip up. The first boss is pretty much proof of that. He's not particularly hard to fight but one tiny misstep and his attacks can potentially stun lock and they do ridiculous amounts of damage.
how do you do the proper beast transformation. I think I had someone someoned who was using it, or at least they were hairier than the character creator lets you make.
