Wrong.
Just level up ADP to get more Iframes. That's all.

It ups your agility stat by quite a bit. Your agility stat controls how long your invincible when you roll. At 85 agility you get a .1 second invincibility frame. At 91 your up to .2. It doesn't sound like much but you WILL notice how much easier it is to dodge damage. Most people go up to 91 agility though you can go higher if you really want.

The important Agility-breakpoints, that give iframes are 92, 96, 99 and 105. Anything in-between is wasted points in Adaptility. On paper, Agility also makes you consume Estus/items faster, but it's such a tiny difference, that it doesn't matter at all. Attunement also gives a little Agility, which is worth keeping in mind as a caster.

99 Agility is the fast-roll equivalent of other soulsgames and the recommended minimum you should go for, because it's such a relatively small stat investment.
You can also go to 105, since it doesn't require a whole lot more ADP to level up. But higher requires much more ADP for the next iframe, so you're better off leveling something else instead at that point.

But don't expect to make some of Fume Knights attacks magically not hit you anymore. His extra-wide greatsword swing has a lingering hitbox no matter what, which is supposed to punish rolling around his back and side willy-nilly. Don't do that.

I always wondered at what point is your roll every other games baseline thats cool to know.

Fume knight is a pain in the arse. He's a boss you can't really cheese in any way you have to watch his attacks and get his patterns down. Spend a fight or two on the defense just watching his attacks and figuring out the timing if you need to.
