Bleed is ridiculous in this game, wish I knew about it more earlier on... didn't really bother much until very late game.... I might NG a high luck bleeder type.
From what I've seen on wiki, the corvian scythe is the best bleed weapon.
While certainly not exclusively, I used a Dragonrider Bow quite a bit. It's notoriously slow, but I'm used to the timing since I used it in the 2nd game, too. Prior to finding it, I used a shortbow for the first half of the game. Since you can roll like mad in this game, getting away from bosses and playing the distance game isn't too bad.
Does Carthus Rouge get affected by luck, I wouldn't think so. It's a good luck weapon but not so much a bleed weapon. Indeed the Corvian Scythe has that issue... still, I wonder how it plays out in combat, since I never used it.
Luck has the effect of increasing bleed aux value on weapons, thus increasing the rate of bleed buildup. Luck has no additional hidden effect on bleed, the increase of bleed aux value is the only effect of luck on bleed.
Carthus Rouge can be used to increase bleed build up by ( approximately 45, untested value )
That actually gave me troubles too, but i just started my bleed character, as a thief. He starts off with a bow on the offhand. This actually seems to be wonderful for this very issue. Pressing F twice kicks it from bow to 2 hands. From 2 hands, you have to press f then right click though.
+9 bandit dagger is not doing it for me >_> I can bleed a hell out of stuff but the range/sweep makes it hard to fight groups and the lack of poise damage can get you killed.
Great, so they brought the stuttering back. Feels like no one at From does play-testing on these patches.
23 minutes is probably how long it took me to beat Ornstein and Smough during my early Dark Souls 1 days...those were some long battles...
