FromSoftware has finally decided to make durability kick the bucket; now it doesn't exist. To be fair, it was already on its way out in Dark Souls 3 (what with having durability to the moon and back that fully refreshes on death/bonfire resting).

Acid-type attacks will "weaken armaments," which basically translates to temporarily lowering your physical attack.

If you wanna penalize yourself and make your experience miserable, why dont you just break your fingers before playing? Doesnt benefit the game nor you, but it makes playing a little less entertaining. AND , the biggest advantage, you would only make the game miserable for yourself, not everyone.

I hated what DS3 did with durability.

I liked what DS2 did

Honestly I dislike removing durability from games entirely. However I will say the way durability is implemented often is also worse than not having it at all. For instance a sword should not break after you swing it 20 times. Ill take a sword being indestructable over it being made of glass. I would really like if they just made weapon and armor durability more realistic. Like sure my sword and armor should eventually need fixing but it also should not break from being used for less than an hour. If nonspecial old school european weapons made with nonfantasy super metals are more durable than these uber stronk mythril-esq it is just silly.

Durability and having to repair items doesn't add anything except tedium. There's nothing immersive about having to 'repair' gear in games like this. It's not fun, most people hate the function in games.
