Have you seen the Vendrick fight?

You could be his height away from him, and his overhead slam will still ******* clip you.

Strafe right scrub

I wore his ass as a hat for the whole fight

Around 16 minutes in.

16:21? If so that's because the player probably has no iFrames due to equip load being high and no adaptability. With 30-adaptability in I believe lower than 25% equip load you'll never get hit mid roll.

Maybe I'm just complaining about the fact that the size of that sword is ridicks.

I dunno, but the side-sweeps seem sketchy.

Trust me try out a dex build with adaptability. Just get like 20ish dex, rush 40 adapt. Don't even bother with health at all or armor. Keep below 25% load. Get a 90-95%ish physical block shied if you really need to and you can just roll through the game. You can get whatever stats you want after that adapt... Preferably 30 of whichever one gives stamina. Haven't played since about a week after the "new" version of darksouls 2 came out so not really remembering the stat names.

Trust me, I'd like to have Dank Bowls 2: Squalor of the Last Mint, but I've got no shekels.

A dex build I'm sure could dance around this boss like a ballerina on Speed, but when it comes to the best builds Strength Builds, much less of tanking the hits, those hitboxes are ****** .

Heh you can go adaptability with Str weapons if you want. Feels great to run with just rags and a greatsword just murdering everything like a barbarian. Eh you do you just know with heavy armor and no ADP the hitboxes will be a major PITA,

I don't know how the name of the build, but I basically want to be a walking block of iron.

Tower shields, huge greatswords, heavy armor, that's what I want.

But I guess if you were gonna deal with it, you could just load up on VIT and other various stats so where you can tank boss hits and stuff.

What's stats should I focus souls into if I want to be the best tank?

I would think whatever gives you equipload and stamina before health. As long as you can block the attacks how hard they hit you doesn't matter. Granted you have the stamina to block... Usually I get to ~30 in a stat then get to 40 if it's needed for my build. I believe 30 is the softcap and 40 is the hardcap for stats? At that point leveling health gives less and less and the same goes for stamina.
