The only knock I have against BB is that it takes some work to get the coolest weapon without accidentally going into NG+

I like the Boom Hammer and the Beasthunter Saif a lot. All the DLC weapons are a ton of fun except the bowblade which is a very stylish weapon but I never had much luck with it

i love all the weapons in bloodborne so much. its crazy to me that they thought of so many insane movesets especially things like the hammer/sword transform attacks. bloodborne is the only from game ive felt like i had to replay just to try the twin daggers, the weird alien arm,.... all so good.

The transform attacks are so satisfying. My last run was mostly using the Reiterpallasch and getting parries on the sword-to-gun transform feels great

Will try this

Does bloodtinge affect the arrows?

Edit: Church Pick is highly underrated too

Yes it does affect the arrows. You can cheese most bosses in the game with them since the game wasn't designed around having a ranged weapon like that. I killed Ebrietas entirely by pelting it to death with arrows and didn't even get hit once.

reiterpallasch is primarily a skill weapon. youll want bloodletter or the bowblade for a btinge build, unless you want to combo the reiterpallasch with the evelyn/repeating pistol and bone marrow ash for mega parry damage setups, but bosses are really annoying with that setup

Yeah since bone marrow ash is for your left hand weapon/pistol it doesn't buff shots from the Reiterpallasch unfortunately. Still a really fun moveset and since skill improves your visceral damage you can get into a good flow with it. It's also really useful in chalice dungeons because you can keep a torch equipped without losing the ability to parry.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Iirc you can get a charged R2 arrow to do upto like 2-3k damage with the right gems

cleric beast is pretty much optional (unless you want the weapon/gear charm or whatever) so you are doing fine, its funny to do it late though and stomp its loving face in though
