This weapon absolutely destroys in PvE. Moveset is crazy good in both forms, great range & attack speed, buffable, good scaling and base damage and considering no enemy is strong against thrust, it basically wrecks everything. How people choose Burial Blade over this is beyond me.
The Burial Blade is a scythe, which instantly makes it a popular choice for its aesthetics, and of course, not everyone has the DLC. The Burial Blade also compliments the Blade of Mercy really well, having similar scaling but a nearly opposite moveset, and the Blade of Mercy is also very popular for its stunlock potential. The Church Pick is superior in most ways though, and it's versatile AF. My Church Pick character is probably the third most effective that I have (after my Beast Claw and Kos Parasite builds).
Don't get me wrong, my Burial Blade build is probably my 4th most effective, and it is my most used. I think that the Church Pick can output damage more effectively, but it isn't as fun or satisfying to use as the Burial Blade.
For me it seems not a lot of people know that the church pick has a follow up charge attack. So I always bait that and usually it kills them, does a ton of damage none the less
The L1 moves on this weapon are ridiculously easy to work into your playstyle. In my opinion, it is by far the most fun to start weaving combos with, when compared to other weapons. Great video, Moose. Hope to run into you again soon
That double KO lmao. But yeah, the Church Pick is one of my favorite weapons and it's underrated imo. The poor man's Burial Blade may not be as flashy, but landing that big overhead swing and smashing your opponent into the ground, pierced on the end of the pick, is so damn satisfying.
At 5:24, why not just start shooting at him? I understand that it's not considered very good sportsmanship if you just finish your opponent with a pistol, but he tried to cheese you with an arrow, so it's only fair.
Jo Moose, I just found your channel. Nice stuff! If I can give you a little tip? Use more combos/delayed chain attacks. Its really hard to dash in and hit something with a single attack. But with delayed attack chains (even if you miss your first shot) they will come back and run into your attacks. Its also hard for most people to keep track if your playing this fast. Thats why I always opt to ~200 stamina (mostly through runes).
Ever notice that the Church Pick kind of imitates the Burial Blade, and that the picks in "old beast tales" per the description may be referential to Gehrman?
His name was Rick he had a Pick on a Stick, while fighting Nick he took a nasty Lick hopping about so much he thought he'd get Airsick. Breadstick, Brainsick, Broomstick Candlestick, Cowlick, Dipstick, Joystick, Toothpick, Slapstick and who could forget Church Pick. Thanks for the great vid Moose, Pick on!
Moose, you are the best! Judging by your channel description, we can expect a face reveal, but when? :) I also like your mic, I don't know why but your voice is soothing. Anyway, keep up the great work! :D
You just sold me on the Pick, im gonna try to make one work on with my arcane. I got two cold abyssal radials and a 9.8 + 72 arc triangle, hopefully that will be enough
The church pick is absolutely my favorite weapon in the game. The only problem I have with it is how slow the 2 to 1 handed transform is. But range is awesome in 2h and it's the perfect scythe because it's got the thrust damage as opposed to the slash damage. 1h it's basically a long sword
The opponent at 4:22 annoyed me with the trying to finish you off by spamming the Evelyn and even the bowblade. You're so respectful how you don't try to cheese him as well.
From what I've seen thus far after trying it out myself, I see it as a poor man's Burial Blade. Since it basically becomes a scythe and all, but it's definitely more fun to use in my opinion
@@LepoetismIt doesnt look cooler at all, first if u like that weapon u are comprising to carry some weird contraption on your back the whole Game, which looks bad with some armor sets, then it's very edgy and the Blade looks good transformed but weird otherwise, while the church pick is elegant, sophisticated and slick
I got a little "request" and that is if you could explain what to do when like you did in this video:"don't lock on when you plunge attack with the beast claws" it makes the commentary impirtant for newbs (like me :P)
Which weapons do you like the very best? I'm trying to decide which weapon I should fully upgrade on my NG+. Hunter axe is my favorite, and I can't decide on a second favorite.
+Mike Dubadub Most of it's attacks are thrusts, but it does have a few that wont get the boost so I always use physical ones because then all the attacks will be stronger.
I think it has lore implications as he had poise, what games have poise? Dark souls and what weapons in that game? The moonlight greatsword. Therefore the holy moonlight sword allows for the activation of POISE
I know I'm super late but some weapons have super armor mid swing, like the moonlight greatsword and the burial blade in their transformed modes or the bloodletter in its L2
Moose Torrent thanks! and lemme ask you another thing, sometimes i unequip all my blood gems so i can make sure i have the best ones on my strongest +10 weapons then go down to +9 and 8 and so forth but sometimes a lower + weapon will have stronger gems than a higher level, do you know why? do i just suck at gem fortification lol. or is it because the whirligig has more power than the cleaver so the gems reflect that too?
+Scott Clevenger I have a build for strength weapons, skill weapons, arcane, and so on. I'll grab the blood rocks and do as many weapons as I can per character.
that chikage guy is showed the reason why i hate this no heal duels, chikage with it's attacks just don't fit it really well, as pure BT build, same goes for arcane build(not skl-arcane or str-arcane, talking about pure builds) that relies purely on magic and weapon is just a back up, healing is too needed for this builds to be viable in this no healing duels...
***** you just confirmed what i said, i almost not use my weps as ARC build in invasions, but use a lot of blood bullters and vials for conctant use of spells. my tonitrus and kos parasite are just for back-up when i don't use spells same as my BT bowblade+whistle build that is working around healing as i purposly leave myself vulnerable for attacks to bait for whistle and use blood bullets a lot too and yeah, this build works bad with no healing duels and extremely boring if i managed to land r2 with chikage i will heal, u say u not lose health as chikage, well you just not use your wep in full potencial most of my fight are 1 vs 3 and i OK with it, i was fun of such battles since DeS and don't understand gank whine, it's fair cause everything fair but when i invaded guy and he PMed me that i healed and thats why i'm scrub...like what, dude i just wanted to kill u, i will shoot u when u bowing, i invaded not for duels, ppl should go away from this etiquette mentality cause it makes game boring no healing duels is viable only for straight characters based around melee weapons(just like your ARC), but it made whole lot of builds not viable and just not fun, ppl mostly use same tactics and plays rly defensively
+Mad Jack Ooh, could be. The Burial Blade was the only one of its kind. The design was probably made to look like a stake on purpose too, considering how in mythology, the stake was one of the weapons employed against monstrosities, more specifically the vampire, like the silver bullets and whatnot.
Okay this might be beyond me, but I have noticed the player "parcelcheese" in like three videos. Don't get me wrong I love these videos, but it almost seems rigged.
I dont like PvP becuase it makes my character seem weak i have Lvl 9 Burial blade with 12% damage gems and 50 skill and 30 arcane im lvl 130 and i dont even scratch people but in pve my Burial does nearly 400 damage per R1 hit
NinGangsta how can you say ds3 is trash? It's got so much content that it's on par with games like Zelda or even GTA if u ignore multiplayer. Not saying your wrong for your opinion of ds3, but it's clearly the best game in the franchise in terms of depth, looks, weapons, equipment, armor, layout and fighting system
+Ark Ekklesia (Hibakuska) I'm not actually giving a handicap to people haha. Hosts use bloodbullets to cut their health 30% because invaders have an automatic 30% health reduction. I just want a fair fight.
but dude, like 90% of your enemies use blood vial. and you'd be like "filthy casual scrub, imma rekt you with lower HP" stiill, good vids man, keep em coming. i haven't played bloodborne since i don't own a PS4. but with dark souls 3 coming i hope to fight you there. :3
This weapon absolutely destroys in PvE. Moveset is crazy good in both forms, great range & attack speed, buffable, good scaling and base damage and considering no enemy is strong against thrust, it basically wrecks everything. How people choose Burial Blade over this is beyond me.
Probably because of looks. It looks cooler but I choose the pick all the way.
idkman I chose Burial Blade to compliment my BoM
The Burial Blade is a scythe, which instantly makes it a popular choice for its aesthetics, and of course, not everyone has the DLC. The Burial Blade also compliments the Blade of Mercy really well, having similar scaling but a nearly opposite moveset, and the Blade of Mercy is also very popular for its stunlock potential.

Don't get me wrong, my Burial Blade build is probably my 4th most effective, and it is my most used. I think that the Church Pick can output damage more effectively, but it isn't as fun or satisfying to use as the Burial Blade.

@@kindredlebel9175 and the charged attacks that savagely scrape the ground, those sold me the weapon

A lot of good matches in this one. I love the church pick. It's perfection in its simple design. Better, I think, than the burial blade... imo
Burial Blade looks cooler and has more interesting moveset tho.
@@LepoetismIt doesnt look cooler at all, first if u like that weapon u are comprising to carry some weird contraption on your back the whole Game, which looks bad with some armor sets, then it's very edgy and the Blade looks good transformed but weird otherwise, while the church pick is elegant, sophisticated and slick

@@MooseTorrent figured, i wanted to know anyway so thank you :)
Do the bloodletter I love your videos man
Nice youre using my faiforite weapon!
would you recommend just pure physical increase gems? I've been mainly using ones that increase thrust attack
+Mike Dubadub Most of it's attacks are thrusts, but it does have a few that wont get the boost so I always use physical ones because then all the attacks will be stronger.
You should have a heavy abysmal the damage I have on a 50/50 build with two 21.5 gems has a AR of 703

***** you just confirmed what i said, i almost not use my weps as ARC build in invasions, but use a lot of blood bullters and vials for conctant use of spells. my tonitrus and kos parasite are just for back-up when i don't use spells
same as my BT bowblade+whistle build that is working around healing as i purposly leave myself vulnerable for attacks to bait for whistle and use blood bullets a lot too
and yeah, this build works bad with no healing duels and extremely boring
if i managed to land r2 with chikage i will heal, u say u not lose health as chikage, well you just not use your wep in full potencial
most of my fight are 1 vs 3 and i OK with it, i was fun of such battles since DeS and don't understand gank whine, it's fair cause everything fair
but when i invaded guy and he PMed me that i healed and thats why i'm scrub...like what, dude i just wanted to kill u, i will shoot u when u bowing, i invaded not for duels, ppl should go away from this etiquette mentality cause it makes game boring
no healing duels is viable only for straight characters based around melee weapons(just like your ARC), but it made whole lot of builds not viable and just not fun, ppl mostly use same tactics and plays rly defensively
