Notes from author

My favorite BB build so far. Arcane characters have a rough start and generally forced to farm for good gems much more than physical builds. After BSB you gain access to both chalice dungeons and first fire gems, making farming of further elemental gems possible. Fire weapon dual-wielding enemies in first chalice dungeons are dropping 10-12% cursed fire gems with around 5-10% chance, by farming two of those you can destroy the entire pve, especially if you're using a saw spear which has a serrated damage bonus in both modes and all transform attacks. Another good weapon choice is flat arcane gemmed Cane. Low base damage is compensated by getting 64-72 AR arcane gems in all 3 slots, and if you're masochistic enough to farm brainsucker bosses in level 5 Isz chalices you can get an out of shape radial gems with both arcane % damage bonus AND flat arcane damage, with 3 of those you can get past the 500 pure arcane AR which is substantial, especially against hosts of higher levels as natural elemental defenses are not growing with level ups like physical. I found lightning damage kinda meh, anything that is generally weak to lightning is weak to fire as well. Arcane devices are also great for both pve and pvp. Firesprayer DESTROYS ng pve, especially when buffed. Executioner's gloves are effective even against f/r/c bosses in level 5 dungeons, and with recent buff you can spam Call Beyond ten times during the single boss battle thanks to blood bullets. Rosmarius with bone marrow is effectively a DS1 hypermode fire surge in terms of damage output (http://a.pomf.se/kdjwyp.webm). And, of course, don't forget about combining hunter tools for the better result. Glove forces people to either dash through it projectiles or back off, often leading to a free hit with either another spell or molotov/oil urn, which makes your next fire attack twice as strong (http://a.pomf.se/lesjcb.webm).
