Twinblade build suggestions

[shwarmizzle]

Hi all! I've completed the game last year and now getting ready for the DLC. Been meaning to try out twinblades for a while.
Any fun build suggestions for this type of weapon?

Twinblades where nerfed to hell in this last patch. Pick up a claymore instead

I haven't really used them, but if I was, I'd probably use multi-hit buffs and probably be jump-attack focused. Might be a good place to start your own build?

Not true. They got a PvP-only poise damage nerf (along with most weapon types), and a bugfix which prevented one skill granting poise.

Not sure what 'nerfed to hell' means in this context.
The only thing mentioning twinblades is less poise damage in PvP, Twinblades aren't even mentioned in the PvE changes.
So if you're not planning to do PvP they should be basically the same, I think.

eleonora poleblade is amazing
BLEED, stance damage and mult kit charged

I've been building a new char around it for the DLC

Anyway, to try answering the actual question, twinblades attack quickly, so basically anything that adds status buildup or flat amounts of AR (stuff like weapon enchanting spells or skills) is a good place to start.

Eleonora's Poleblade

Stack arcane 60 dex 40 and get the talismans that increases damage when near blood as well as the 2 that increases damage for every hit lastly vaats mask.

Put 25-30 in mana and r2 your way to victory.

As others have said, build-up on them is amazing. I tend to use frostbite + spinning slash. You can powerstance them too, but I feel like just 2 handing one works very well.

Bleed builds, how original.... And eleonora's pole blade! Daring today aren't we.
