Any way to make Lloyd's Blade Ring viable?

That doesn't include Estusing a lot? I can't dodge some hits, but eventually they get me and then I'm wasting a ring slot. -.-

Then only use it when you have full HP, and swap it out when you don't.

Blessed offhand weapon with sun princess ring , using both lloyd rings, the shield ring will let you take hopefully just a small amount of damage and the hp regen will get blade to proc again along with shield ring... in theory

STOP getting hit.

It's extremely viable, but only when you stop getting hit. It's more useful after you learn enemy patterns, and it pays off in big ways.

I mean for PvP, though. I can avoid some hits and make use of the ring for some time, but after getting hit you can't just go and swap rings without getting backstabbed.

Still, I just tried some things in the arena and they didn't work, guess I'll scrap this idea.

I think you could train yourself to get better at dodging if getting hit 1 time makes your build considerably weaker. I say that as; the mentality of getting hit once and being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ might inspire safer pace or different strategies.

For PvP, it all depends on your approach. Using something like Lloyd's can be approached one of two ways: extemely aggressive or extremely defensive. If you can just bulldoze your opponent, you won't take hits. If you are good at defense, you won't get hit, so you can just wait for the enemy to make an error.

The other way you can use it, is by just having it on and if you get hit, swap it out for say, the Pontiff's Right Eye if you still want damage boosts, or maybe something more defensive like a Sun Princess Ring.

Maybe if you used some "stupid" set up like ring of evil eye, and the pontiff one that gives hp back for combos, sun princess and lloyd sword?

Play as a mage and attack from range...

Pretty simple

That's a good idea, but the Pontiff's Left Eye only procs after...7 hits I believe? It's far from viable, sadly.

Feel free to try the setup I use on my character. It boasts quite a bit of damage and allows me to dual wield most dual weapons in the dexterity class. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=768212280

maybe on a mage that is all i got

Do a DS3 No-Hit run.

Simple.

It's more useful in invasions than it is in duels. If you want to use it in a duel, it's good until you get hit, at which point you should swap it out for a different ring
