Is vitality worth it?

[Asylum]

Is vitality worth it if you have a set armor in your mind and weapon set and it wont exceed 70% weight? ie stay at 6 vit bcuz ur a mage and use robes for cast speed up and ur staffs etc dont weigh alot)

Also i know that it gives bonus stats for ur vit level, but its not the only stat that gains it and dont know if the numbers are worth the SL

If you don't exceed 70%? No, I'd say not.

but do u know if the bonus numbers (the armor scaling) makes it worth leveling?

If you're sure you will keep below 70% equip load I'd say no. Though the chance is that you find a new armor/gear set that you want to use, and that you then have to level up your VIT significantly.

I am not so sure people care too much about armor value honestly. I had 1200 armor value and still got hit like I had none.

Thing is if i planed to do a certain build with most stats above 10 or w.e but can live with having 5 or less vitality, (Since all classes are same level latter on on builds if u have same stats) would it not be best to choose the class with the lowest starting vitality?

On paper it sounds good. In my experience when I fight a boss, the first thing I do is take off all my armor.

Your weight load affects, how far you roll, and *your stamina regen*. It goes not have break points like in DS1. The effect simply scales linearly with how much you wear. There are however special break points at around 70% and above 100% I think.

Thus even if you are below 70% you wont fat roll, but you wont roll as far, and your stamina will regen slower than at 20% or 0%; trash mobs are not too much of a threat anyway, and extra stamina is good. Bosses hit like a truck and armor and poise don't seem to do much. So what benefit is all that armor giving you - it sure will make you roll less far and slow down your stamina regen though!

I feel a certain bandit recommendation coming....

depends on what set of armor and weapons you want to use, if you know you won`t need vitality to stay below 70%(or 50% as some people prefer) you can avoid putting points into it

honestly only a few armor sets seems to make a difference on the damage, and theyre all the heaviest ones...

But gaining adapt and attonment to make agility 120, would it not cancel out the 70%roll bcuz it gains your iframes? and this is jsut questions as i feel like a jester thomas cosplay would b fun to make for pvp

Bandits vitality is highest starting vit, so it would be the worst class to choose in this situation

[Berioth]

if he wants lowest vit would be swordsman, 4 starting vit lol

[TwoFlapjacks]

ah okay my bad, i was thinking about a certain thread(s) you made earlier

now regarding this, would starting a mage be better in general? due to an easier start, and im thinking ill need maybe 5 atleast for robes, and pyro gloves

[Asylum]

Because lets all be honest, jester thomas is the like best npc summon, hes just fun to have on your team :)

[Asylum]

Also, because of this build, does having 2 +10 pyro gloves make u do more dmg? using pyromancy spells? like can u potentialy, "power stance" a pyro glove?
