Seems to be 81

53 or 61, period. Maybe 77 if you can afford it. Going 81 is nonsensical...just roll.

Why 61? Wouldn't it take 62 to survive two straight/curved sword R1s?

I have a dex build with fastroll and 77 poise

@anomymous How the hell do you get fastroll and 77 poise? Havel's ring is garbage. ROFAP and either ninja flip ring, hornet ring, or if farming chunks, gold covetous.

Infinite poise is best... Just like with everything else.

53 is good enough most of the time but running attacks from a great sword will poise break you so 56 is what you want but maybe 62 for curved swords but 77 is pretty silly if youre going to go to that point just do 93 so you can tank 3 hits from small weapons or 112 to tank 2 hits from bigger ones extremely unnecessary though and you would probably do better with less armor and fast rolling, at the very least do 32 and if you just want to get gud and roll through everything at least have a little poise so daggers and armor of thorns dont ***** you up

Giant Dad load the basscanon. PS: for those who didn't know you can wear giant armor and fast roll. But 125 meta say better ninja flip. This makes Giant Dad out of meta but still enjoyable.

the meta breakpoints are mainly 31, 53 and 61

No, 54 is greatsword, dont minmax to 53 or you might as well have done 31

Perfect poise is 68. This wiki is wrong, 68 will let you tank an UG 2h attack and roll away.

Nope. Its not true

Think of parrying as putting the subject in a different state. Like backstabs it's kind of a critical hit state. It ignores poise but also doesn't deplete it. So an attack after your iframes deplete still affects the full poise value.

wait a minute? you mean you dont like the zero poise estus chugging zero stamina roll dark souls 3? how???

"There'a no poise in Dark Souls 3" is the worst meme to come out of that game. Try learning how it works.

it's almost shocking to take a hit from a twig-armed hollow without flinching!

Poise only exists if you do a st build, and it starts up pretty late. You also NEED to use a heavy weapon with heavy armor. A game where I can have poise, and ring slots!

Poise souls is the perfect description to this dumpster fire. Literally just tank everything without thinking about it

No relation whatsoever.

depends on the hitbox of the weapon and whether or not it can align with the opposing hurtbox. Weapons with a larger hitbox (UGS, halberds, etc.) hit more often because the hitbox is further away from the player letting it extend through walls. If we take a weapon with a small hitbox, for example a dagger, we notice that its*****box is right in front of the character and therefore making it harder to go through waöls.

just 53

And you have a pretty decent fashion souls. Thanks friend.

And you have made an unoptimized build high level build (should be 53, 56 or 63 poise 61 is just a random number)....however, this sounds sufficient for SL 60 with a few armour tweaks and Havel's ring. If you wanna go big with a claymore you essentially go giant dad mode but swap FAP for Hornet if you really wanna focus on those critical attacks, elsewise, keep FAP ring.

If you use dusk's Crown you can go pure faith and still have a nice 53 in midroll at 45 endurance

"(should be 53, 56 or 63 poise 61 is just a random number)" 61 is one of the best numbers for PvP. OP probably didnt know the reasons but 61 poise allows u to face tank black flame. havel mom drip ( havel chest. iron bracelet. hollow soldier waistcloth) gives exactly 61 poise. havel mom greatclub uses 61 poise just for black flame

RIP poise
You will be missed!

it's right there but ok. keep crying and jerkıng yourself off to Havel's set
