why would 60 vigor be required for PVE my brother? If your build NEEDS 60 vigor idk what to tell you.

@@stonaraptor8196 If your build needs a damage stat I don't know what to tell you.

@@EmissaryOfSmeagol or just use ritual shield talisman with 40 vigor

@@Ghorda9 I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at

Some people will say this and then complain about the dlc being “unbalanced”.

It's amazing how people still do that even after Fromsoft made every stat point after 60 basically worthless. You're supposed to get 60 in every stat first rather than try and put any points over 60 into anything.

But why do you need strength, if you don't ever get hit. 60 VIG or starting level runs for style.

I stopped taking Reddit and most of YT seriously when I bested Maliketh, and started to do co-op to help people fight him, only for them to be one shotted with 700-800 HP. Most players won't bother commenting online about those details, but it's clear that some people blame the game for dumb oversights like this.

And this is why some people fight her hundreds of times and still can't beat her... and some people beat her on the third or fourth try. The health lets you get away with mistakes and lets you actually learn patterns.

Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman, Great Rune Buffs, Opaline Bubbletear, Bubble-Shield, Boiled Prawns/Crabs, etc.

It literally implies bro gonna 🍇 her 💀

So yeah its insane

Oh god just now realizing my main character is in NG+5 😂

It's late game, and late game enemies scale much less with ng's. I wouldn't worry too much.

it's honestly comparable only to bloodborne, and the main reason it was important was early ame(bsb oneshot) and dungeons

"i dOn'T nEeD vIgOr iF i NeVeR gEt HiT"

THis is why some people die to Malenia hundreds of times and some people beat her on their third or fourth try.

Yeah people would talk about getting killed by waterfowl dance, but with high vigor and all the defensive buffs it does 1 damage a swing. You can just attack through it. And since she heals based on how much damage she does...

@@acrab6527 The healing is flat and she heals even from attacks dealing 0 damage.

I honestly think it’s really bad how fromsoft balance the health stat in their games. Ds2 is the one that did it the best. That’s because all stats give health and vigor just gave double the amount if I’m remembering correctly. Nioh did something similar. Random extra thought. It’s weird that people complain about adp being a near mandatory stat when vigor is just about if not more important in the other fromsoft games. They clearly balanced most of the enemies moveset in ds2 around low adp. Lost sinner and mytha being exceptions. The enemies have easy to out position but lingering hitboxes for a reason imo.

@@porkwhisperer3050 you don't really need to level vigor early game, you just need flask upgrades, radahn is the only early boss that requires at least 30 vigor

​​@@Ghorda9especially early game I would recommend pumping vigor if you can. Since skalling doesn't matter and you can easily double your health pool. Sill without prep (talisman etc), renala one-shotted me once with some random spell, despite my ~30(+?) points in vigor.

@@andresperrle7984 i'd say endurance is more important, it allows you to be a lot more aggressive and end fights quickly, nothing in stormveil does that much damage and you get plenty of levels before red wolf of radagon anyway

@@andresperrle7984 rennala's shot gun and moon are easy to avoid if you don't just run at her head on

just use shield talisman

I doubt youll be able to even take one blow

​​​@@pancakke08 I mean thats what the shard upgrades are for, so I'll collect as many of those as I can in the first area, which is apparently more than just a couple from what the previews show. Might have to respec to 40 vigor and that's fine. I'm not so stubborn that I'll just punch a brick wall over and over. I just wanna see how much I've improved at this game. I tend to keep my vigor low as a self balance for my hybrid playstyle. Magic makes the game easier, so I accept less vigor to still have a challenge. If I used a bunch of magic and had high vigor I just wouldn't have fun at all.

​@@Ghorda9that reminds me I never picked up the +2 in FA

@@geordiejones5618 was actually meant to say ritual shield, but anyway

You'd probably be better off going closer to 60 and pinching the endurance points off of something less important.

​@qwormuli77 nah, it works out great this way. I believe in vigor, but 60 just isn't necessary most of the time. Negations are more impactful when enemies are doing more damage because they're % based. The more damage is coming your way, the more they prevent. All my tarnished also wear the dragon greatshield talisman. 150 more hp wouldn't drastically improve my quality of life, but those 8 attribute points are extremely valuable. Obviously they don't all have to go to endurance, I'm just pointing out that a bit more endurance would give you more freedom with your equipment and contribute indirectly toward your defenses when diminishing returns really set in on your vigor. My only builds with 60 vigor are lvl 200, beneath that I have better ideas. I see what Rat is saying here and I essentially agree, it's a matter of whether 150 hp is the best use of 8 attribute points. If you really don't like heavy armor as a matter of fashion or whatever, then I'd agree 60 vigor could be a good decision for new, challenging gameplay where you expect to take some hits.

@@qwormuli77 to be honest both approaches work in pve, as long as you don't drop under 50 vigor, but for pvp 60 vigor with at most 3 levels less is mandatory from meta level onwards.

Why would they mess with the stats lol, they made a whole new independent scaling system for the dlc

i tend to beat the game with 40 vigor and ritual shield just fine, i don't plan on changing this with dlc but i will level it more if there's nothing else meaningful to level first

50 vigor minimum, but after that there's more efficient ways to boost your effective hp (actual tanky-ness). Nothing wrong with 60, just depends on build/play style. Someone with 60 vigor and a soreseal is dying to Malenia much faster than someone with 50 vigor and dragoncrest greatshield talisman. Damage resistance matters, once you get to high vigor levels it matters more than vigor. The dragoncrest shield talismans are great for PvE. Opaline hard tear is great for PvE and PvP. And then there's the body buffs (only get to use one at a time) prawn/crab and elemental fortification/barrier spells. All my high level builds stop at 52-55 vigor, but I enjoy buffing and min/maxing my gear. If you want a simpler build and not to worry about buffs, go for 60 vigor.

@@yeahr1ghty this^^^^ aside from weapons, the second thing i want most of all from the dlc is actually competitive medium armor sets both in defence and poise, i'm tired of always running (and seeing people run/use) bullgoat talisman or having to look like a bowling ball for decent poise AND defense at the same time.

50 vigor at 125 or 55-60 at 140 for pve and you'll be good, 60 vigor for anything pve, dropping at most 1-3 points if really necessary

125 as pvp meta works because duels and invasions outside the arena allow usage of the physick flask, though on pc in den maps you can also use great runes which further emphasizes the function of 125 as meta, in invasions, arena and pve though this is much different, and i'd claim for thoose settings 140 is preferrable, as such, 139 being the best level for invaders if they want a good fight and the biggest amount of players in invasion pool. (125-160ish range of invasion iirc, the latter being the average endgame level from what i've asked around) as for 60 vigor getting in the way: nah, the thing is quality already sucks in the game, but what the 125 meta does to this system is make it so that you always have to give up one and one thing only when making a build. some people choose damage, other people choose weapon variety(hence why for example dual coded is so popular) other people stamina, etc... in my case, i choose talisman slots, bullgoat is a mainstay in ALL my pvp duel builds simply because i find 25-30 stamina to be enough and the heavier armors look like ass, and for wielding heavier weapon setups, then erdtree favor +2 and/or jar arsenal become paramount, ideally the former as it also brings in extra benefits. the real problem with 125 builds is with mixed stats arcane builds, so you're either running pure mage draconic seal or a shitty version of an int-arc mage, thankfully that will be made a little easier in the dlc from what i heard and so that hurdle might be overcome...

p.s.: also that which i said about arc-int build not really working at 125? that's exactly why my dlc build will be arc-int, as i'm gonna do it at 139 or even 150 if i feel limited...

If your play style is based on not getting hit then you should be fine

Do you alt f4 invaders 😂

I feel 60 vigor is a bit too much , i recently replayed the game on ng+ and i found 50 to be comfortable where i could still take big hits from late game bosses and survive

You made the game way harder for yourself but if you enjoyed that challenge then you can go into the dlc with probably not that much more.
