Is it better to just use a green blossom as opposed to chloranthy ring/grass crest shield combo?

[Patch]

In DS1 it was a lot better to use use green blossom and it would regen a lot more/faster than using mask of the child/green crest shield/ and chloranthy ring combined. Does the same apply in this game as well?

Stack them if you can. But dont bother with the crest shield. There are other better shields out there that offer better block / parry potential. Use Chloranthy (you eventually get a +3 after going through NG+ a couple times), and combine it with buds.

But even better, get used to managing your stamina, and try not to rely on them. If you have to, up your endurance a bit, and lower your weight ratio. If you keep it around 30 percent or lower, you get a really good fast roll and low stamina drain.

The ring is enough, I personally never use the buds. Or a bunch of other items.. so :D

You need those items when going against ganks. Not sure how many times a simple bundle or boost made the difference for me in those situations.

If you don't use a shild for gameplay, you should put it on your back. The ring wasn't used in DS1 because you had only 2 slots and there were better rings to use with that limitation.
Eating one is the way to go and have your rings be something to help you deal more damage.

Looks like the grass crest shield increases stamina regen by 4 points per second, the ring increases by 8 points per second, then +2 ring increases by 9, then finally the +3 version increases by +10 per second. the green blossom increases by +6.

The ring itself is probably enough. I didn't realize how little the grass crest shield actually gave. Which is good news for me because I want to use a better shield.



For DS1:

Cloranthy Ring: Increases stamina regeneration by 20 points/second (base stamina regeneration is 45 points/second).

Green Blossom: Increases Stamina recovery speed by 40 per second when consumed. Duration: 60 seconds

Grass Crest Shield: Increases stamina regen by 10 points per second (~22.5% more than base), also when two-handing a weapon.

I'm not sure how that translates into DS1. But looking at this it appears that they nerfed the GCS in DS3 but the ring was buffed.

Chloranthy +3 in ds3 is comparable with a budding green blossum, just depends on whether you want to use a ring slot or keep using the buff.
The ring does beat out the normal blossums though.
Grass crest is completely useless in ds3 and should never be used.

This why ring swapping is a great trick to learn, if you can menu fast enough to swap rings in a fight, then you can swap weapons or spam rof, or do anything really. It really opens up fun combat.
