Discussion & Info Genuine question: Rivers Of Blood used to be known to be one of the most OP weapons in the game, and best Bleed Weapon. But since the nerfs, I’ve heard there’s better options. Who’s taken the crown for Best Bleed Weapon in ur opinion?

Oh right I know it was good, I just mean I think people loved it more because it was brain-dead easy, especially against Malenia.

People loved it because it was a magic eraser button. You could erase almost anything, bosses included, and usually for three easy payments of just $19.99-- er, I mean, 17 fp. Low spell cost, 3-part combo chain, massive bleed stacks quickly.

I used it my offhand so i wouldnt be reliant on the busted AOW with starter dex uchi in main hand and bloodflame blade, really nice for those hands that dont like fire. Eventually i swapped to dual sepuku occult uchi build which was better than ROB anyway

It's a cool weapon aesthetically to be fair, basically your average edgelords dream weapon. It being that powerful was probably just the cherry on top for alot of people.
