I had to ban "Way of White Corona" since then it would be an impossible task. No professionals allowed.

SCOTT'S BONUS TECHNICALITIES
• How Defense Works in D...
====TL:DR & EXTRA NOTES====
- First we need the lowest defense and HP possible! This is the SORCERER! He has the lowest physical defense and hp of all classes.
- With only 47 physical defense and 381 while unembered.
- Stripping down now gives you 0% absorption. DS3 works much like Bloodborne in how it handles defense. Having a empty gear slot will alter your defense by more than you would expect, see Scott's video + reddit thread for more details.
- The weakest SINGLE ATTACK in the game is the Crab Jab, dealing just 76 DAMAGE!
- We can use the Calamity Ring, Any 2 Clutch Rings and the Carthus Blood Ring for a whopping -214.6 Absorption!
- And Absorption actually does work exactly as advertised, so you WILL get a boost by that amount.
- We can increase this further with FROSTBITE (-7%) to a max of -236.622 Absorption! (since it all somewhat stacks multiplicatively )
- We can also buff the crab with an red phantom with SACRED OATH or the WAR BANNER BUFF.
- Combine these with SUPER COUNTERS (counter states that make that THUNK sound effect) we now have a insta-kill with the lil'crabbo!
- However the weakest single damage instance is actually the 1st hit in the 1st hollow's multihit fury swipe attack!
- Dealing only 63 damage compared to the crabs 76.
- We cannot summon in this area, but if we could, would it be lethal?
- Testing with hacked HP (not to alter the defenses) we can make the crab deal a maximum of 377 damage, or a 396% improvement.
- But using this number for the hollow fails to let us reach our 323 HP total, since it will only reach approx 312 damage.
