>>143865249
Lots of armors of similar weights and defense values that are simply different aesthetically = GOOD

Investing a ton of points into Vitality only to get stunlocked to death by some naked guy with an estoc = BAD

It's especially heinous since they upped the weight values so extremely on the heavier armors only to make poise not fucking matter anyway.

>>143865259
It's a fantastic, simple system that's affected by nearly everything in the game, and leads to solid PVP, good PVE, and an all around fantastic use of the stat to cap off the Dark Souls 3 trilogy.

It's just not turned on.

To be a dragon through the Path of the Dragon isn't the same as experimenting with forbidden knowledge.

Path of the Dragon is more like bodily mastery, accumulating power through honorable challenges with the others who walk the path. Hawkwood wants to redeem himself and proves his strength, it's only fitting he chooses path of the dragon. Every other covenant is politics.

Run and jump off a ledge
make sure you have a weapon and buff ready
hit the buff button when you hit the ground and start to roll
swap to the unbuffable weapon during the roll
When you come out of the roll you will do the buff animation you buffered by going into the roll animation and apply the buff to the new weapon.

It's because physical defense itself is subtractive of the opponent's AR before calculating damage. Absorption itself is a percentile reduction based on the amount of damage taken. With high vitality and good armor you will be nearly negating everyone's AR because of the low AR for unupgraded weapons.

Defense doesn't scale to match the high AR some people can get at higher levels. You need to be SL802 to actually get 300 defense and by that point people have 600 AR anyway. At low levels you can have 150 defense and people will have 180 AR at most.

The door is locked from the cliffside bonfire side, it opens from the side you get to from the undead settlement entrance. From there you can run down the stairs and over the bridge to the elevator without fighting anything or even going through the arrow section.

>isn't the door locked?

Depends on which door you mean and which side you approach it from. If you take the shortcut to the cliffside bonfire then you can open one set of locked doors but will be locked out of the boss fight until you go the other way. If you go through the settlement normally then you can unlock the doors in front of the boss but can't open the doors to the shortcut.

none of the doors in the elevator building are locked. You've got two one way doors, one is from entrance to cliffside, the other is going past the boss through arrow graveyard.

There is also the one way door coming out near eygon but that isn't going to the road.

Use your mouse for camera control. Steam controllers are designed to be used alongside a mouse, they're basically just substitutes for the keyboard portion.

Just be sure to rebind any left-side functions like L1 and L2 to appropriate mouse buttons. I believe changing quickslots is the wheel by default, but you have to double-click one of the mouse buttons to parry or WA, which obviously needs to be rebound

Because that's pretty par for the course in the souls universe, and ultimately everything he did was for a much greater purpose.
Everything he did was to free humankind from the cycles of light and dark that they've been trapped in since their inception, and the twisted fate ruled by the lingering will of long forgotten beings that played petty ruler with the human race. Reclaiming destiny from the grave of dead gods is a cause that's worth a bit of inhumane treatment towards hollows and giants.

If you infuse it with lightning, it becomes unbuffable. However, it's normally buffable despite having natural lightning damage, so you can infuse it with raw and still buff it to get the absolute most out of its lightning damage.

Also bundles > normal resins and significantly less expansive. Just stock up on bundles and spam them throughout a fight to keep the buff up.
