I don't know if there's a specific sub-forum for challenge runs or something, but i didn't see one so i'll post here. I was thinking of doing a no lvling-up run, but i was still gonna use healing items and things and any equipment (except DWGR or the pinwheel masks, seeing as they'll be pointless in the next patch). I made this build quickly, I thought about stacking poise but i'm not sure its worth it if everything is 1-shotting me, although I don't mind mid-rolling (I find it barely any worse than fast roll tbh. Any advice (on the build or playthrough in general)?
