playing the DLC on NG or NG+ ?

What would you say is the better way to experience it?

NG+ of course. You will loot more runes and develop your characters faster. Also you will be able to experiment all the game content all together with looting exclusive legendary weapons and more after starting a NG+! And lets not forget the game scaling for more challenges (up to NG+7).

NG is trivial, specially if your character is RL 200 or above.

Depends on your character level. Honestly I advice you to play on NG if your char is 150 or lower and wanna stay there. Ng+ isn't too big of a jump but you def feel it. My first character(lvl 200) was on NG+ and DLC felt pretty difficult, especially early on. Once you get like +5 scadutree and get accustomed to new difficulty it becomes easier.
Brought two other characters to DLC both of them lvl 150 and on NG, they had a slightly easier time.

I've played on both and didn't notice much of a difference. The only advantage of NG+ is that you're probably higher level so you'd be able to play with more weapons.

There isn't much difference between NG and NG+. If you are level 150 and below I think stick with NG, if you are much above that NG+ will give a slightly bigger challenge instead of steam rolling through it.

NG+ compared to NG in DLC

the monsters and bosses have 15% more health and do 13% more damage.
poise damage resistance is the same for NG and NG+

NG2+ is the first where also poise damage is reduced by 5%

Honestly 15% more health and 13% more damage is the difference of ~ 2 sadu tree fragments.

Doesnt really matter much if you play NG or NG+ as your first DLC
can aswell just play NG and use 2 less sadutree fragment and its the same >-<

You shall not regret it!

Also i recomend you to stick to one character so you will become more and more powerful and what i posted above, new chances every cycle to complete NPC quests from another point of view and loot god tier <Everything>!

Good luck.
