Dark Souls 2: Armor? Fake. Elemental defense? Real but also conditionally useful so fake. Weapon scaling? Also kinda fake. Poise? Oh you bet that shit is fake. Weapon infusions? Real. Base AR? Real. Rings? Somehow the most powerful equipment in the game.
Chris PersonDark Souls 2 is so mechanically obtuse that it makes me love it more. Armor is basically meaningless and a full Havel’s set has the same damage reduction as a single specific ring. Poise is fake. Your I-frames are dictated by two arbitrary stats that both contribute to a third arbitrary stat. ❤️
