how much harder is ng+?

[sumolagann]

If I wanted to go to ng+ and possibly farm silver knights later, would they give me much more trouble?

It's not hard at all. I'd say it's been mostly easier than NG for me. Only a couple of late game bosses gave me trouble. If you have decent stats and fully upgraded weapon you should be good to go.

they will do a bit more damage, but if you learn to dodge or parry they should be fine.

On the contrary to the other games,DKs 3 increases in difficulty at a slower pace,but you can get up to NG+ 10, after NG+3 it gets hard.NG+ seems easier than NG since you already have everything from previous run, i got a few flawless wins since i was doing so much damage they did not get a chance to hit me at all..

Ok cool, maybe start ng+ then. Grinding knights drives me insane lol. Thx

Since dark souls 3 is more about damage avoidance then damage absorb, as long as you are capable of dodging the bosses and enemies attacks then its technically no harder.

I waited to get covetous gold serpent ring +2 before farming knights for the Covenant rank.

It's not harder its easier. I just started a NG and its much more difficult than a NG+. Your equipment and stats means you can breeze through the game. I miss the random red phantom invasions like you got in DS2 NG+

It get's easier, once you have level up your gear. The game has almost zero scaling on NG+, the bosses have more HP and that's it, no increased damage or new enemy placement like in DS2. They regressed in this area compared to DS2, they basically took the route of DS1, If I wanted to play DS1, I'd boot that up, they should stuck to DS2 NG+ method, it was way more fun, and will ultimately deter most from doing extensive NG+ cycles like they did in DS2.

No upgrading bonfires either
