Damage too high?

[Demonsamura]

So I've put in around 90 hours over several different builds and I'm wondering how everyone feels about the amount of damage enemies can do to you. Seems like I'm being 2 or 1 shot more than any other fromsoft game even with putting points into hp. Do you guys think enemy damage is getting out of hand? Did the other games have damage this high? I've been working on the fire giant and being 1 shot by him is getting a little exhausting not to mention the blood katana guy I had to kill to get the respawn point closer to the boss.

im at the end of new journey 3 and the final set of bosses (fire giant and beyond) literally one or two shot you no matter how much health you have. that plus mimic being kinda bad now makes it pretty bothering

On my character i can almost get the damage negation down to 50 percent for melee stuff. what could help is your armor or and some talismans that reduce damage and there are also some consumables that help with reduce damage that you take. i only have around 1500 hp right now i can still get messed up if i'm not careful. but hopefully this can help you and also there are some spells that i think can reduce damage you take as well.

The damage is definitely way too much compared to the other games. I even replayed ds3 recently to make sure I'm not just imagining things and putting points into hp actually made you survive a lot of hits there. I think only nameless king would still 2-3 shot you but he's pretty slow.

Every fast enemy wasn't able to 2 shot you before, now even the fast ones deal half of your health bar with one hit. The whole fast-lower damage, slow- huge damage philosophy doesn't exist in late game. Everyone has huge damage.

I'm not happy with the amount of damage either. I think Sith got 4 shotted, and it's just a basic melee build. You're right It's too OP. I'm doing SL1 run next.

Did you even play the game? 40 vigor is nothing late game. Even with 60 some things 2 shot you lmao.

Rats get a lot more damage the further in you go, dogs are always dangerous.

Overall for anyone else starting playing the game, I really suggest getting minimum 30 VIT, 40 if you want to be safe. Its gonna make the game go from hardcore mode to manageable mode. In Dark soul series I didn't need that much VIT to complete the game, it was just more balanced and monsters certainly didn't deal over 1000dmg per hit in late game.

You know this post isn't even about pvp? So that has nothing to do with what folks talking about here.

40 vigor with erdtree favor +2 is more than enough to complete the game on ng. 1500 hp feels comfy

Many things are enough to complete the game with. What matters is if it feels fun or balanced to get 2 shot even after investing so many points into defense. imo it doesn't.

Still love the game tho and it only happens in the last parts of the game so it's whatever.

1500 hp was enough to not get 2 shot by basic attacks on most bosses. heavy hitters would 2 shot, but they would probably still 2 shot with 60 vigor
