anyone know good weapons to duel wield?
I currently dual wield uchigatanas with blood slash for a decent starter bleed build (Im around like level 40) but am trying to up my duel wield as its kind of falling behind the more I level up. Im looking for good damage output that has bleed (i dont have black whetstone)

Rivers of Blood is nice , malenia's sword is nice too , almost all katana atleast bleed but some are better at it than others

If you're dual wielding katanas then you don't really need the bleed infusion on them, just switch to keen or quality, you may proc bleed less but your damage scales better for general combat (You can have a physical infusion on a bleed ash if you get the whetstone found in Stormveil)

You could do a 30 dex build until black whetblade and re-spec for occult if you feel like it

But yeah bleed infusion on a weapon with bleed on it isn't that good, since occult boosts both with a good build, and generally the scaling nerf of bleed infusion is not worth it

Curved Swords and twin blades are pretty great for bleed

Backhand blades. Their are three types and are only found in the DLC. They're a twofer.

Dual Uchigatanas is actually one of the better end game setups for dual wielding, so... yeah, you're all set already. Change their affinity to Occult and respec to Arcane 70 or 80 (dump all Dexterity), once you get the whetstone.

dont I need the black whetstone for that? I heard I needed to beat radahn for that, so what level should I be to kill radahn? and since I want to fight like every story boss (not just go for 2 great runes) what other bosses do I need to kill? The most recent one was like godrick.

Typically somewhere in the ballpark of level 80 is good for Radahn, but that's by no means mandatory. You can fight him earlier (he hits hard though), or later depending on your journey. It's true that you need to beat Radahn for the black whetstone.

Two greatswords

2 claymores if you can get another person to drop you one or NG+. They are amazing and their scaling is good for most of everything.

for faster bleed output use fast weapons idealy in powerstance . no need to bleed infusion , plenty of weapons with bleed effect by default . fists , katars are ideal . new light greatsword type could be decent too for bleed infusion unlike normal greatswords , i found them slow with bleed output

i know its going to seem weird but im on the team that poise dmg > bleed, bleed is good dont get me wrong but being able to knock the enemies out of their attack imo is much better, i would pick a greatsword over rivers of blood any day of the week, if you still want to go for katanas, moonveil imo is still better than rivers of blood or you can just go with the ol reliable...uchigatana or naginata, if you TRULY wanna go crazy...i can recommend claws, they are CRAZY fast, they will proc your bleeds and you will look cool doing that, i just...dont see how rivers of blood is good when you have so many better options that you can acquire earlier in the game

Depends on what you mean about dual wielding. Its extremely different between dual wielding ultra greatswords and katanas. Also you want to proc bleed fast?

By go-to build from back in the day was Mohg's trident and a blood infused lance in the other hand. Use Sepu-ku from the lance to buff yourself and only use the running L1 attacks and now you have a pain train!

The running L1 dishes out 6 to 8 hits per attack and will thus bleed people on the first attack often. Typically doing between 2000 to 4000 damage per attack depending on the enemy!

And thats how you do twohanded bleed attacks! Granted I have not tried this build since the game was released 2 years ago and I think they have nerfed sepu-ku since then.
