How can I fast roll in Knight armor?

[Zachshock]

I have 24 endurance, mask of the father and havel's ring but I can only mid roll wearing knight outfit minus the helmet.

Up your endurance until your current equipment load is 25% of your total equipment load.

Increase endurance, use a lighter weapon, get rid of your shield, etc.

Just change into something else until you have enough endurance to fastroll.

The cheeky response of "take everything else off" is due to your only asking for fastroll in the Knight set.

As mentioned previously, continue to level up endurance, wear Havel's Ring and Ring of Favor and Protection, and equip only up to 25% of your maximum equip load. There's nothing more for it.

But ring of Favor and protection is awful if you take it off it breaks. In this game you must swap rings allot like in blight town, the abyss and demon ruins.

Then... don't take it off?

Not much else you can do, bud. You either live by the fashion or die by it.

Edit: You can level endurance up to 60 to use all pieces of the knight set, but you'll need to continue leveling it to use anything in your hands. It can be leveled to 99, which should give you a chance to wield most things in the game.

Endurance is completely f*cked in this game. It's like Miyazaki thought "well we accidentally made poise OP as hell so to balance it we'll make it insanely difficult to be able to fast roll in even the most basic heavy armor. Oh you want to fast roll in heavy armor plus a shield and a greatsword? Yup, you need 99 endurance plus havel's ring & the fap ring, have fun". F*ck the carry weight system in dark souls 1. I have over 700 hours in the game so i'm used to it but it seems that in every dark souls game heavy armor users are discriminated against. Also having only two ring slots doesn't help at all. Especially when for the Four Kings you need to sacrifice a ring slot just to access the boss and for Lost Izalith you have to sacrifice a ring slot to navigate the blinding lava.

And btw i'm noy saying the poise in dark souls 1 is a bad thing. I LOVE dark souls 1 poise. I don't care if some people think it's unbalanced. It's not fun getting staggered by hollows with broken swords while in full heavy armor like in dark souls 3. That can happen in dark souls 2 as well but not once you get at least 20 or so adp and wear heavy armor.

You realize that's not an option for some people? Some people want to use a big f*cking greatsword AND fastroll. Also some people love the stability and safety of a good (great)shield. That doesn't mean they should have to sacrifice fast rolling.

[bobhome2]

Well, you don't need a whole lot of armor to do fine in the game, anyway. Additionally, midroll is totally acceptable in DS1. Is it such a big deal that you cannot be a complete tank and get your fastroll?

It's funny that people always complain about how negligible is it to roll constantly in DS3, and this kind of balancing ALSO makes people complain.

Devs just can't win, no matter what they do.

Sure, it could definitely mean that they sacrifice fastrolling. Heavy armor and super fast rolls seems implausible without a sacrifice of some kind. What's a ring slot or two, or a focus on stats that allow it?

Yeah miyazaki locked iframes so that even if you midroll with heavy armor you still have the same iframes as someone in light armor fastrolling which actually is kind of stupid imo (for pvp, not pve). Still though midrolling is not satisfying nor is it confidence inducing. I'd rather just fast roll in heavy armor. It's possible so why not? It just takes too many points of endurance imo.
