DLC power upgrade vs flask upgrade

What’s the difference?
Feels about the same.

one only matters if your doing bad, the other always affects your output

So if somebody needs healing then they’re doing bad?
So only bad players lvl up Vigor?

It only affects your output if you are doing bad and die. Just don't get hit lol.

i mean in your very silly argument if they dont level vig they dont need pots at all, vs, again, the perma buffs of the upgrade.

not sure why that is a weird concept to you, getting hit=a bad act, of which pots are to recover from, if you dont get hit, then they serve no purpose.

so i guess in summary: potions are of situational use, whereas the blessings are useful always, cause they're passive upgrades.

Power upgrade - mandatory to the point of get a guide or die;
Flask upgrade - easy to see temples on the map, plenty in the wild, game does not become a drag without them.

This power upgrade is just bad game design, do not know why people defend it.

The results of estus upgrade are more tangible. With scat fragments I can't even tell whether they're helping or not. Enemies and bosses still feel tough. I also don't feel bad if I miss a flask upgrade or two. I know that might seem like a contradiction, but I'm too tired to explain.
