Pros:
-Can stack high poise/heavy armor
-It's the perfect roll for tanks
-No need for ridiculous high Endurance
-Can carry large weight weapons
Cons:
-Difficult pivot/roll/counter backstabbing
-Less I-frames than a fast roll
-Less distance traveled during roll
-Relatively slow movement speed
I have been fighting with medium roll builds that use FAP Ring+Wolf Ring for 106 poise. If you ever planning to medium roll, aim for this number. It can tank 1 Str weapon hit, 2 greatsword hits, 3 two-handed curved sword/katana/spear/halberd/straight sword and 5 of the latter 1 handed hits. Good weapons for these tanks are those who rely on stunlocking and breaking high poise. Opinions?
