The Gold Tracer...Oh Boy...

Almost Instant Bleed. Easy stun-Lock. covers pretty much 180% of the player. Rapid swing. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME A REASON ON HOW THEY DIDEN'T *** UP THAT WEAPON?

Easy to parry?

I don't see how the bleed is a big problem. But it's certainly a pain if you wish to use slow weapons, as it can quickly interrupt most slow attacks. The bleed isn't too bad though, unless you've got a low resistance?

For some people it is. But for New players, i've seem it DESTROY them in Seconds.

Who puts points into Resistance?

Yeah it can be very menacing but I don't think it's THAT OP. Sure it can stun lock somebody easily if they allow you to wail on them like an idiot. Also, it can't be buffed so luckily it can't be made any stronger without having to scale. It's a great weapon, don't get me wrong but it is not funked up by any means, just different. Also, it's a weapon that is meant to be used in combination with the Silver Tracer and that makes it a far more interesting weapon, that takes time to master in dual wielding, no block situations.

No one.

Was referring to the extra resistance you get from humanity and equipment.

bleed is meh, with my gear each hit builds up about one eight of my bleed meter so thats no problem at all and even if all of a sudden im about to bleed out i can just roll out of the bleed since its so damn easy(i got dks day one and ive only been bled two or three times). i usually stunlock people that just go in there spamming r1 with that thing in the forest.

You say its esy to parry but i have learned to chain combo with it and yano only oen person has parried me and that jovi when i asked him to try and he was spamming parry

Doesn't it just have a standard bleed effect?

Yeah it has just 300 Bleed .

I dont think its OP at all, its pretty Short and the Damage itself isnt all tha impressive either . But its a great Left hand Weapon !

Yeah it's a standard bleed but with 40 endurance you can swing away with it up to 6 or 7 swings until it completely depletes your stamina. It breaks poise after 2 or 3 hits on most players when two handed, giving 2 to 3 swings after of just pure damage and bleed build up.

Monster against: Low Poise builds. Low Bleed resistance (I have 1500HP and the constant bleed up screws me over everytime.) . Low Vitality builds.
PEOPLE THAT BLOCK.

For me, fighting a golf tracer user is like fighting a buff build. I know they are going to spam, so i'm very defensive and choose my attacks carefully. Occasionally punish the aggressiveness with a backstab. I have bleed canceled so many times lately that it's becoming funny.

It's not OP but it is dangerous.

The bleed will get even if you're Blocking. And it builds up so fast WHEN blocking. I DON'T LIKE BLEEDING.

Learn to deal with it .
Its not like it ever has been any different with the Souls Games .
Its all about getting punched repeatedly in the Face and learning how to avoid getting punched repeatedly in the Face .

Yes, and that's exactly why I have cancelled the bleed so many times lately. You know what bleed cancel is?

theres bleed damage (whats listed on the weapon) and bleed buildup how fast it fills up the blood gauge, and the tracer has a higher than average buildup. and a great shield of artorias (from sifs soul) can negate bleed so.... your options are parry (pretty easy) or turtle with a specific shield thats conmsiderd one of the best greatshields anyway. plus spears out range it, i can roll through its spam and parry or simply blast them with spells.

It's also good to have the bloodshield lying in your inventory.

Yeah. So i can watch my Death coming closer?

Roll when youre about to take the hit that would make the Bleed Meter fill al the way up .
You wont take any Damage and the Bleed Meter resets . Its easy to do

Can someone of PSN teach me how to use this weapon effectively...?

It's a nice trick against chaos blade, lifehunt scythe and now, the gold tracer.

unlock and spam r1 from left to right and you wont get parried and you will even cancel backstabs.
