We'll see if it's needed. Currently level 92 and gonna be working on getting my sword to +9 first

Died twice so far to The fag reborn cuz when I hit him in his side with Ludwigs with fireweapon on, the fps literally drops to 2 and my dodge-imput is just dropped and I eat his rain of faggotry.
Otherwise, he's going down in like 4-5 charge-R2

Damn dude 92. I think I beat the first play through at like 75. I'm at shadows of yharnam on ng+ and just got to 95.

Hats off for grinding ranks that hard in the first play through. Ng+ will be cake for you at this point.

Didn't really grind too much, I just love running around exploring every nook and cranny I can find. Sometimes I'll go on a huge expedition, get like 80-90k souls and die to me being careless, then I run back and gather the same amount of souls. I never, EVER skip mobs. I kill everything I face. It all adds upp

I'm close to lvl 90. Still have to beat the emmissary
Think I got about 4-5 bosses left.

Got my 2nd char to lvl 36 and on my way to the witches. Should be a piece of cake this time

Already planning for what my second character is going to be.
Either Bloodletting Chimichanga-swordbuild (Chikage?) or Blades of Mercy full-out skillbuild and switching to the scythe later.

Managed to beat The One Reborn quite easily after I decided to stop using firepaper cuz of the FPS issues, and went into the Mensis nightmare place. Got to the second lantern I think, Mensis Loft bottom part, and decided to call it a night. Finishing that tonight, then I'm off to do the cathedral ward and finish some stuff that I missed (Most notably Alfred's questline, need to send him to the Castle).

I went for a bloodtinge build with my second character as well and it's amazing. I use the Chikage +10 with 3 18% increased dmg gems and bloodtinge at 42 and it deals an insane amount of dmg. Also, Evelyn +9 is great against enemies with low armor.
Haven't tried a skill build yet.

Where do you get 18% gems?

I have lots of those and 19.8%, idk where I got them lol
