So with a new build im working on I cannot choose whether to dump extra points into vit for an extra 180hp or to go the route of defense for another say 50 defense and 12 poise.. Opinons on if the defense is enough to outway the loss of hp?

What would that extra 12 poise put you at. and what's your total HP before those extra points?

1900 and 65 poise vs 1700 and 77 poise

personally would take the 1900 hp unless you're using an ultra weapon, then I might consider the 77 poise useful.

Re: hp vs health predicament
Let's see....Wht's your defense? Defense starts to suffer from diminishing returns at 350. Once you get to 400, then it really drops off.
The breakpoint for poise says that with 65, you can resist one hit from anything except for doublehanded ultra great hammers and swords. Which are easy to dodge.
HP on the other hand is always good.
I'd go with strength though.

1900 for sure. UGS are fairly easy to dodge. You don't need 77 poise unless you are a fatroller (maybe a medium roller if you aren't good at dodging).

meh 200 hp doesn't seem worth it, but I tend towards high poise tanks so that's just me, what kinda weapon will the build use anyway? also attunement would be another good option for those points, maybe toss on a pyromancy or two if you're not already using faith or sorcery.

Just made some tweeks and may decide to keep this.

On my old ps3 i had the standard dex or str variants at 120 and a darkmoon at 130(dmb with 50 faith bss = not very fun at all imo). So decided to run an elemental build for my first character.

Re: hp vs health predicament
I think there is a lot to be said about being able to say "I can trade with anything" Since you have access to like a billion different weapons there is probably some situations where just trading 2 of your hits for 1 of theirs, even from a UG weapon, will be a thing you want to do.
And IMO 1700 is already higher than normal health for a 100 build.

You also have some leeway for making a Replenish-Gauge build, which would really allow you to trade agressively, as 600hp regen puts your maximum health way over 2k.
