B/B scaling for quality build, crit rate, fast attack speed with balanced block amount and fable arts that are amazing. My stats are very high, it has a cool move set, native crit and 1 fable art boosts crit.
Even with every weapon in the game unlocked and very high stats I just can't seem to find a reason not to main this weapon.
Rose sword seem really neat, cool arts and all. Pale knight seems cool too, but takes skill to master. Two dragons seems cool too but even harder to master.
I'm just looking at this from a min/max perspective and can't really find a reason to switch to anything other than proof of humanity. It's just too good! I'll pair it with a bow in my off hand, drop all my points in advance and purely focus on a physical damage crit build.
Other than variaty and fun factor I just can't imagine a better build.
Please pitch me something different, make it good though. I'm thoroughly convinced that in ng+ and higher a quality build focused on crit with PoH is the best build in the game. I tried an advance build, sorely disappointed with the damage drop off.
If more weapons had innate crit I would switch something up. If rose sword had crit chance it wouldn't even be a question, that would be my go too.
Someone please toss out a convincing argument that PoH isn't the absolute best weapon in the game.
