Is a frostbite build as bad as a blood build?

[rparham685]

They both require buildup, and they both take a chunk of HP when full.
Thoughts?

they are good the more light weapon you have the more easy to build up.

Frost pops and takes health, but then can't pop again while it's active. However, the trade off is that the enemy takes more damage from all sources while frosted. Fire attacks will immediately remove the frost, allowing another pop to be set up, but also removing the extra damage.

Blood pops and takes health, then can pop again to take more health.

Honestly it's debatable which is "better" in the long run. Personally I prefer bleed if I have to pick one, but they also work really well together if you're able to build around it. Neither one is "bad" though, they just work the same way statuses have always worked in FS games.

Yeah, my bad. I came back to the game when the dlc dropped. And it's amazing how much of the base game I forgot. XD

If you think bleed or frosts OP then you're using to many skel frags

I say cut out bleed after you go no blessings

But no..basic mechanics are good to go outside of using summons..if we're talking hard mode(I don't wanna hurt anyone's little feelings)


I use dual Omen Cleavers and find them very legit..Christ the only way to do damage to any of these bosses is to proc bleed and you can't let that slider roll down.
