Oni-_-Elite: Blood builds are dope but I wish we would have gotten some better drip equivalent to to goofy a** white mask
TrekoMundo: "so to start off, you will need Ansbach armor which requires you to beat the entire DLC"... bro what? Im here cuz I CANT beat the final boss
St._Matthew: If the enemy bleeds , i use bleeds weapons lol every time …
And i use summons / we jump everybody
drudge5268: Ansbach is a 14% increase: 3% body / gloves / legs, 5% head. 3 3 3 5=14%. So yeah Rakshasa can't compare. Personally, I would never wear the (ugly) White Mask to get 10% dmg increase after bleed procs when I could wear Ansbach's helm for a 5% increase at all times. Ofc White Mask is still a bit superior, but in practice you won't have 100% uptime on the White Mask buff so it's at most a 2-3% difference.

BTW you can hit 51 poise with Ansbach set if you replace just the chest piece, leaving you with a 11% damage buff, and 51 poise. For that, the best looking chest piece is probably Banished Knight Armor. The unaltered version.

I've been running the Blood Tax Great Katana to help people beat DLC bosses, and it absolutely shreds. I use Bloodsucking Cracked Tear for an extra 20% dmg across the board, and use the health regen from Blood Tax along with Beastial Vitality (12 faith is all you need) to offset the health drain. With this setup, It's doable even as a cooperator where your flasks get cut in half but the health drain remains high.

I tried Malenia's Great Rune for a couple days, as well as Godskin Swaddling Cloth for a true vampire build, but found the Great Rune's heals to be underwhelming compared to the benefit of Radahn or Morgott's Great Runes, and that the Swaddling Cloth wasn't proccing often enough against DLC bosses to be worth giving up Millicent's Prosthesis. At least for me.
beachtrooper5884: I got some nam flashbacks from the ansbach mask, he had no reason to look too much like the bloody crow of cainhurst
kurisu1204: Interesting: some sources say that this set DOES increase Bloodflame incantations.
sofaking4779: The Guias Remembrance Thrusting Sword on blood has a nice Charged Heavy into Light true combo worth checking out.
roflmycopter1: Ansbach helm Rakshasa. This is the way.
kiri-yan: From Soft does not need to nerf bleed players, they nerf themselves with that awful fashion...
