Paladin Leeroy tank build worth it?

[Sir Fancybritches Fizzlebottom]

As far as I can tell: There are two builds, one has a lot of health and slow rolls, one has a small amount of health and quick rolls. If I were to build it, I would go lot of health. Is the build fun to play at all?

[King Robert Baratheon]

I think it's fun. I did it for one of my strength faith builds. It's the best of both worlds, a strength build to tank and smash foes mercilessly and miracles to nuke enemies from a distance (or upclose with WOTG, haha). The real question is do you go with a greatshield or Paladin Leeroy's sanctus? It looks cool with his armor and it works well with the Replenishment miracle but it's not 100% block and it's not going to be of much in help boss fights.

[Sir Fancybritches Fizzlebottom]

If you go weapon and armour, you gotta go sanctus.

I'll almost certainly have replenishment attuned and use the shield for parrying.
Parrying in this game is easy mode compared to 2 and 3.

Of course it is. I love that shield but if in an emergency you just need to block that shield might let your guard be broken if the enemy does a lot of poise damage.

What would be the fastest way to get everything? Start game and head down catacombs for paladin set and items then get the rings?

Pretty sure you have to gain the Lordvessel to access Nito's domain, but in any case, you might as well reach at least SL 50 at min before obtaining Leeroy's gear. He uses Greatheal (I think) and I think that's about it. He also fatrolls, so I'd prioritize HP over quick rolls personally. He is a tank, after all.

[Moulounoufactor]

to get leeroy's clothes you need to kill nito and therefore you need lordvessel -> speedrun strats to O+S then go grab it in nitos room after killing leeroy invader and reloading after nito's dead

[Moulounoufactor]

also i did the build and to stop fatrolling you need about 50 endurance at least with havels ring, cant recall if i used FAP

[Sir Fancybritches Fizzlebottom]

Planning to get ring of favour, will I still need 50 endurance or is 40 ok?

Try looking it up on Mugenmonkey, it'll tell you how much END you need if you have fap ring equipped.

I'm pretty sure I needed more endurance than that plus havel's and fap. Wait, I was using his Grant too (the big mace weapon that does WOTG). His set, the sanctus and the Grant is deceivingly heavy.

I was eventually to fast roll with all of that but I think I had something crazy like 80 endurance.

Yeah it really is a shame how much endurance you need in this game to fast roll. I had to have like 88 endurance for my Ornstein cosplay character in order to fast roll with his armor set and spear while keeping a ring spot open for the Leo ring.

Damn that sucks. I think it's odd how much you need to fast roll in heavy armor sets in dark souls 1 (even without a weapon). Even though in dark souls 2 they seperated equip load into its own stat it seems easier there to be able to fast roll in heavy armor (without the royal soldiers ring and third dragon ring). It's tough to do a strength faith build because unless you don't mind fat rolling you have to level up so much endurance when that could be going into faith, attunement, or strength.

Well, I mean...nobody expects a knight wearing heavy ass iron armor to quickly roll.
