I really like the poison self affliction start, having a 20% damage bonus at the ready and inflicting a status on the enemy is a great use for a weird consumable!
Not to mention, you can get the cookbook in Mistwoord and easily farm the ingredients early on by the Artist Shack in northeast(?) Limgrave. Having a means to easily apply consecutive Deadly Poison makes this quite fun. In fact, I think Bestial Vitality would be perfect on this build.
I absolutely love the sbb r2s. They're perfect, and remind me a lot of Great Shinobi Owl's faster sword combo from Sekiro. It's an attack tempo I've struggled to find elsewhere. But the weapon's unchangeable aow just. . .baffles me. That's ny biggest problem with the weapon, and I'm not wild about the lack of bleed either.
The game has some...unusual design decisions. The way I see it, you're meant to quickly build the multi-hit buffs while applying Poison with the R2s. Then proc the Rot's Exultation damage buff and apply that damage with Double Slash; that's also boosted with Shard of Alexander.
I was literally looking at your community post about this as you posted it. Cool.
