Heh, use the flamesprayer, then use the transformation attack from spear to gun glaive when an opponent gets close and swipes at you.

You wouldn't really even need to level up bloodtinge that much, just so that you can catch people off guard.

Not about poking them from a distance?

Tell that to my Reiterpallasch >:3

Some people like spear weapons that can slash.

"bloodborne is about fighting enemy face to face then poking" that has to be the most noob comment i've ever read on this wiki

Souls games always welcome different playstyles, but if you kind sir think that keeping enemy close is noobish... Welp what can i say? To every casual his own!

I have better luck fighting bare-handed then hitting people with charged 2H.We both know that you will never hit good pvp player with it. The range with spear is crap actually, a little help in pve and zero in pvp.PLUS (!) you should know that Bloodborne is about fighting enemy face to face then poking them from distance.

Not to mention the ridiculous damage that the charged, transformed R2 can do. With 2 33% charge attack up gems and a 26% phys up the charged R2 does 1050-1200+ on players. Even with all phys up gems, the charge attack does huge damage and exceptional range. No one ever seems to really get how long the range is on that attack. Also, since most of it's attacks are thrust type, you can really make use of those high percentage thrust gems. Great ranged defensive weapon.

Little bit salty dont you think?

There is no "worst weapon" in this game, they're all good but have very distinct fighting styles.

For starters, the rifle spear's normal mode is good for keep people at a distance, and the transformed mode is a crowd control weapon when you're dealing with multiple opponents. The strengths of this weapon would be that it possess the advantage of range and good chip damage in PVP, while being an overal versitile weapon with several different forms of attacks to deal with all sorts of opponents. This isn't the kind of weapon that you'd use if you wanted outright brute strength, rather it's more for the techcnial players like to keep their options open.

Or you could simply just blast people up every few seconds with the built-in shotgun like that Yahar'Gual hunter you fight early on. Nothing pisses people in PV off more than repeatedly getting shot by shotshells, thus leading them to becoming impatient and making rash moves.

With noobish he meaned it really didn't made any rational sense, it was a comment with no support, like a little kid frustrated with somebody and trying to defend himself by saying "Fight me close range you ***" or something like that. It's indeed sad how people hate on weapons just because they don't have a "cool moveset"

Cool, thanks bro, and I totally go with you, some people overlook this weapon because it's not a giant sword or Huge *** hammer (I use the Churck Hammer xd ) but ***** does this weapon packs a defensive punch, a really hard defensive punch xd I still don't understand some stuff in game like the gems and the multipliers of each attack but hey, I still love this weapon even if I don't find any special gem for it.~

Me and my friend are rocking skill based classes essentially and the Rifle Spears are perfect. Very useful in a multitude of scenarios. Not the most powerful weapons but makes up for it in versatility. Even seems to be a decent choice for arcane builds.

The higher the scaling, the better overall damage output you get when putting points on that stat. STR and SKL both soft cap at 25, but you can continue putting points on those stats and still get a decent amount of daamge from them. Keep in mind also that some weapons have fairly good "quality build" potential like the Stake Driver, Hunter's Axe and Ludwig's Holy Blade (in other words, you can put points on both STR and SKL to get good amounts of daamge from both).

Lost Hunter Axe & Lost Rifle Spear & Fading Lake Glyph: cpmyucym Current Host (not me): KingGrizzy Axe Location - before the first area; rather short run to get it; Bell ringing ho in the final room in the platform between the staircases Best of luck! Spear Location - Before the first boss (if I remember correctly) Sorry, forgot rune location. ~Beowraith (US PSN)

No, that is not what the wiki says. BLT still affects damage scaling but it is the total damage listed, not per pellet.
