so is having 51 poise the same as having 95

[Inflated_chair]

read some guides because i was confused am i understanding this correctly? you need more than 101 to make a difference?

Below 51, poise is useless.

Above 51, poise works as "health". If enemies hit you with enough poise damage, you get staggered.

Any bigger hits will stagger you no matter what.

Above 101, you may resist some bigger hits but not everything.

Not exactly sure beyond that. Maybe 95 is the same thing. Maybe it isn't.

In short, no, those just referring to a couple of passive-poise breakpoints.

51 is enough for pve, pvp sometime need highter because you need to win while trading blow (not flinching while doing it).

51, 101, above that is useless in pve. and 101 is generally not needed tbh

its just that the difference over 51 is so little until you get over 101 that theres no reason to strive in between. 51 is the point at which you resist a whole new bunch of moves but you dont resist a bunch more until you reach 101.

attacks, spells, and incantations with hyper armor will still work on enemy attacks that would normally require >= 101 poise

i have 31 poise and now i’m seeing that it’s useless!?

jk. for real tho i pvp with useless poise for aesthetic reasons, and people even fight naked. just don’t get hit unless you’re trying to trade hits pvp. i wouldn’t worry too much about it
