Level up Vigor

[真「SHiN」]

Bro, seriously, just level Vigor. Along with Strength, you get more defense boost per level than any other stat. Fun fact: the ones bitc—expressing their genuine grievances that they are getting one-shot are INT players going for that epic burst damage, and Dex players for that epic 360 no-scope bleed montages (or both!).

>make glass cannon builds
>gets one-shot
>WHY AM I GETTING ONE-SHOT??!!!
JUST. LEVEL. VIGOR.

[Kyutaru]

Yep. By endgame I was sporting like 80 Faith, 60 Vigor. Just dmg stat + health is all you need.

[Dollmaker]

You should see that player i helped to defeat Maliketh, pretty sure he didnt knew he could lever vigor, cause he had like 350 or something HP....

He was a mage, what a shock am i right?

[GrandTickler]

yeah u also get more %hp per stat compared to previous games

Vigor actually gives you more hp than the last point up until about 60. You should level vigor.

That's what I did in DaS2, yes.

I feel like Vigor is even more insanely valuable because armor is basically useless.

Haha, well at least vigor is actually useful anyway. Having lots of HP is never useless.

Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda dumb that one stat is so important that all players need to dump the majority of their points into it regardless of their build/playstyle?

[Emily Mewens]

YOUR NOT MY MOM! YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

but yeah it deffo does. But i want DAAAMAGE not PROTECCS

Nah, the game becomes extremely boring if you overlevel your vigor.

Getting one shot with some of the attacks is fine, you are supposed to git gud, not get a huge HP bar to tank all the damage

Yeah. Enemies are extremely spammy and aggressive it's way harder to avoid getting hit in ER compared to DS. And there's so many times I felt like my death was not earned or fair unlike DS where I felt each hit I take was purely my fault.

They definitely changed their philosophy which is sad. I feel like DS games weren't about difficulty necessarily, they were about harsh, cold realism and atmosphere. I feel like all that was lost with ER, bosses feel like anime characters with crazy moves. Yet the player still moves like they did in DS. Kinda unfair.

I introduce to you... adaptability in DS2

Ah Radahn arrow was a good vigor check. Seeing people die with 500 hp and higher level was funny.

The longer you last the more damage you deal. Don't blow everything in one load.
