    The best part about playing a 99 ARC build, is you're a terrifying pyromaniac for the first part of the game; then you get to be a Lovecraftian sorcerer and kill things with cosmic power!

    • @speedlee1243
      @speedlee1243  5 років тому +968

      It's really a cool concept, it seems that all elemental damage is determined by the user's knowledge to cosmic things (Arcane), and Fire happened to be the first element we "tamed" from the nature. Fire has been benefiting us as a tool for cleansing foods and wounds, offering light, forging weapons and being used as a weapon. And we then use Fire and Knowledge to fight other cosmic creatures, in other words, it's in fact Arcane vs Arcane!

      That isn't true, you can cheese the game pretty hard and make it braindead with any build. Parryable bosses are a joke with a skill build, you can unironically gun some bosses like amygdala to death with a bloodtinge build, some other bosses too, strenght builds stun humanoid bosses and break limbs of the other bosses so fast you can stunlock Paarl and watchdog to death. Not to mention for all of those melee builds, you can cheese all of the early game spending less resources than the arcane build just using a fire paper+ Blood Cocktail, and at the endgame with the right bloodgems, their damage can explode absurd numbers paired with beast blood pellet, don't feel bad just becaus you know how to abuse the broken stuff of your build and they don't know theirs. :)

      That damage output is insane. Even with weapons far upgraded beyond the point you'd normally fight Paarl it takes longer than that. I'm pretty sure +6 Hunter Axe, which is about the upgrade level you're expected to have by the time you can first reach Paarl, takes more than three hits to stagger. I didn't realise early arcane was secret easy mode.

    it's because Hunter Tools don't have a soft cap. If you go all the way to 99 Arcane, their damage will continuously get better and better with each level up without losing the damage bonus efficiency.

      spehizle oh no, 40 is not nearly enough, and I regret making the same mistakes. I used to think that hunter tools like the Executioner Gauntlet or Call Beyond were wastes of bullets because they did crap damage.
      But once you go over 50, that’s when the real fun begins. And yes, fire or lightning or better- the phantasm shell all scale with arcane, giving no attention to the concept of soft caps.
      You go reinstall the game, and you ascend into a great cosmic hunter. May the good blood guide your way

      Using a magic weapon in the first two Darksouls actually does gimp you pretty hard as a mage. DS2 at least brought scaling, but even so at 50 int 30 faith my +10 fire longsword is absolute trash compared to my normal mace/rapier because slash is trash and so is split damage. But hey, they tried. It’s very picky about when your infused weapon actually benifits you. Bloodborne at least has all those other damage types combined into 1, arcane, and it works as intended without other unrelated mechanics ruining it.

I also suspect that you used the blades ring, which is significantly less effective on split damage weapons. And why are you even comparing the longsword and mace? They're completely different weapons. Compare it to an uninfused longsword, you'll see that the damage would be about the same or better on the infused version.

    I just started playing Bloodborne and I am seriously struggling but I am enjoying the struggle. Watching your video opened my eyes into the possibilities of this game. Would love to give something like this a try once I master the mechanics from my first playthrough.

    OMG this is insane! Playing this way literally makes Bloodborne an entirely different game, which is splendid! I actually planned to play my NG+ playthrough with an Arcane / Skill build because for my current NG playthrough I've invested mostly into Skill. And this video alone made me subscribe! :D

    This makes me want to replay the entire game with an arcane build.

      Here's a chart of AR of every convertable weapon at 99 Arcane
      i.imgur.com/BJyiQEV.png
      In other words: Everything works well.
      Even if we only consider the early fire gem, due to how AR is calculated, it wouldn't make a significant difference
      (And if you really want a higher AR, the key is not high native Arcane scaling, but high base damage, as shown in the chart)
      Personally, I would pick a serration weapon for Fire Weapon, as serration gives 20% bonus to Beasts, which makes it a Beast Killer
      But in fact, a lot of people beat the game without using serration weapons, so it's up to you.

      Oh wait, if it's about early fire weapon, they you might want a weapon with a Waning slot, there's no Triangular Fire in early game (Cathedral Ward). If you really want one with a Triangular slot, it's okay, there's an All ATK up 9.1% gem at the poison cave in the forest, not so early but not so late neither

      Thanks! I've tried your build and reached old yharnam so far, everything is slowly coming along and I managed to kill cleric beast in 20 sec lol. Thanks!

    I just wanted to say thank you for making this video, as it completely inspired me to make my first arcane build.
    I've beaten Bloodborne twice: once just messing around with stats and not really knowing what to level up, then another time doing a STR/END build. In both times I kept getting my butt kicked, because I'm not so good at the game apparently and I don't like to be too close to enemies. I always thought an ARC build would be cool, but I was afraid that my lack of game skills and low stats except ARC would make the game impossible for me. But after watching this video, I started a new game focusing on ARC and I'm already so happy with it. Right now I'm in the Cathedral Ward area with 17 VIT and 21 ARC and I'm having a blast with this fire sprayer. Can't wait until I'm able to do Call Beyond!
    Thanks so much!!
