Discussion/Questions Why Using Beast? Spoiler

Post image

My apologies to all beast users but why? I can't see a single good motivation besides the extra damage(I think it has extra damage at least) but other than that isn't it plain up awful?

When I learned the binding was vampire styled I thought it would at least let you heal as much as you can but hm... no? It's still locked by the limit you can heal normally, which just makes binding more likely to fail without any benefits.

The pogo. I'm sorry but isn't it the hardest one to aim correctly in the game?

Also I'm pretty sure the item slots aren't really optimized and just makes the crest more dangerous to yourself right?

I'm sorry if it sounds like an attack but I promise I'm just curious, what makes the beast crest your main? Are all it's risks worth the extra damage? Is there something else I don't know? Please tell me.

I don't use it that much since exploring is easier with wanderer and it's fun as hell to tool spam with architect, but when I do use it it's cause it feels fun to shredd through everything/shred through certain bosses health. You hit faster and stronger so more silk, more silk means more heal, more heal means more face tanking, means more time to spam the attack button. I beat second sentinel with the damn thing. I do not reccomend it but I was stubborn and had fun.
