Which is better: Knight or Elite Knight armor?
Or do the differences not matter?

Difference between them is negligible. IIRC, the elite knight set juuuust edges out the regular knight set but it's not enough to worry about.

Knight has more poise and i think it weights less, but poise is useless, so...

The Elite Knight Set is one of the best looking in the game. The knight set looks like crap. Easy choice :fhappy:

you not understanding a stat =/= that stat being useless

Elite = More defense
Knight = More poise, lighter.

He's right, compared to DS1 poise is pretty useless here.

The game mechanics are different and you do not attack or parry near as fast as you did in DS1. Which is fine for game balance.

How does parry speed have anything to do with poise?

It doesn't, but since it has been slowed down, other game mechanics had to be tweaked to compensate. I think that the addition of the Adaptability stat changed how many things were supposed to function in DS2.

But then, this is an argument from the days following the dx9 version's release. Kind of pointless to harp on about it now, since DS3 looks to be going back to Demon's Souls mechanics.
