07.12.2022Excellent video.I've been watching your videos for years, and in fact, some of your lore videos were what finally gave me the push to play Dark Souls myself many years ago. I have some commentary to add.
1. It's a little dishonest to include the maxed upgraded levels of the armors when presenting their defense as if it is their default. It would be better to present the minimum and maximum upgradeable levels, and the +9 level for the sets that upgrade with regular Titanite, so base, +9, +10. And good luck getting 4 titanite slabs for even just your armor. Most players are going to only get at most 1 per playthrough, and odds are quite good they'll use it on a weapon, especially the first time around.
2. A special perk of Havel's Set is that it has infinite durability, so it never needs repair. This doesn't matter much, but it is useful in some circumstances.
3. I would have split the armors up into the categories of unupgradeable, special, heavy, medium, light. Unupgradeable are ones like Havel's and Stone, special is for armors that need twinkling titanite. Heavy, medium, and light are for their categorical weights and follow the regular upgrade path. It would save newer players some confusion.
4. Heavy armors all incur a stamina recovery penalty per piece, adding up to a -11% cumulative penalty for a full suit. This should be accounted for as it's not an insignificant factor affecting all player actions.
5. An armor I would like to mention is the Catarina Set. I would put the Catarina Set as my top pick for special armors, as it weighs only 30 units, and yet has a maximum upgraded defense of 228. This means it has medium weight yet heavy protection potential and poise. It was actually so light that during my SL1 run, I was able to, with help from Havel's Ring and the Ring Of Favor And Protection, run full Catarina + a battle ax + the Balder shield while still maintaining the medium roll.
6. Another particular armor is the Painting Guardian Set, which, when upgraded has absolutely stupefying magic defense. I actually used this on my SL1 to beat The Four Kings.
7. My personal pick for each category:
Unupgradeable: Stone Set – You get it early, it has fantastic stats, and you can even midroll in it with weight to spare for a powerful weapon
Special: Catarina Set – It's so absurdly minmaxy you can put it on your SL1!
Heavy: Steel Set – The only heavy set that follows the standard upgrade path. You can max at 266 for 36, which is cool, but it lags hard in poise.
Medium: Elite Knight Set – The best all rounder in the game. You can get it immediate and keep it very competitive through to the end.
Light: Chain Set – A weird pick, but it does have strong poise, and when upgraded, gives midlevel medium set level defense.
Thank you for the video.

07.12.2022Wanderer's is accessible early and dwarfs the competition at 9.1 total weight imo.

16.05.2022Lmao, imagine ranking armors based on stats, everyone knows fashion is the only thing that matters when it comes to armors, poise comes second and defense stat doesnt even register.

14.05.2022Crimsom robes + Havel gauntlets + Stone helm & leggings is a good compromise I've found. Decent armor, resistances and reasonable weight. Can use another headgear for more fashion points :p

14.05.2022Full jesters, baby… Lol for real though, I ALWAYS wear onion helmet. It's the best look.

14.05.2022never realized giant's and smough's were so close, could you imagine a world where smough's armour was slightly better and every giantdad was wearing smough's armour? pvp would have been even more of a nightmare seeing that lmao

14.05.2022I've always just chosen armor in DS based on how it looks ..

14.05.2022I've always loved parts of the wanderer's set, even if they weren't fantastic armor. The Manchette and Boots looks good with a lot of things, but my favorite mix-match would be… Elite Knight Helmet, Hardened Leather Armor, and wanderer Manchette and Boots. Another favorite of mine was Thief Mask, Dingy Robes, Tattered Cloth Manchette and Eastern Pants.

13.05.2022Honestly best depends on the build you want. I did an entire run on the hard leather armor set with a great scythe and it worked out great.

13.05.2022If there's anything I've learned through playing Dark Souls Remastered it's that armor doesn't really matter. And then you get to NG+ and it matters even less! lul.
There was a time where I ran Black Iron on every character. Then I was like, y'know, fast roll is just flat out better.
That, and having Black Knight/Silver Knight/Balder Shield. Those things are indispensable.

13.05.2022The giantdad combination is maybe the best combination
