u/Imaginary-Day-9078

I played more than 2000 hours and realized I never tried out Storm Blade.

I just played a casual NG using SB only, it's simply busted, insane DPS at close range, easy use, versatile, paired perfectly with a keen Flamberge w/ bloodflame blade for consistant bleed procs.

I made this RL138 build for coop at 117-165 and being summoned as phantom (RL150 is too high imo for coop).

I know Great Katana is a direct Flamberge upgrade for this build, but I love too much this greatsword's look. Divine beast helm would be better too but I don't like the look neither.

Depend of the situation I can switch one of my talisman for lord of blood exultation.

In the physics I have opaline and thorny cracked tear, then crabs and pickled turtle neck.

Months since my last playthrough.

Tired of flashy builds, I want to play a simple, good old sword and board knight, guard counter and square off to poise break like crazy.

It take me forever to grab the tree surcoat and the greathelm right at the beginning of the game, but I love this 13th century drip. Maybe I gonna use the Lucerne, which gonna pair very well.

After 1800 hrs this game is still the best.
