    Personally, I dislike people that use **** armor in place of Giants/MoM mask because they die so easy. I like to play against players that are trying their hardest to win, not people that want to look cool and gimp themselves doing so.

    In the end, its just the same ol "its good so it should be banned" mindset that's so common in the souls communities.

    while the armor might give you a little edge in the end skill will prevail over weapons or armor. i know this has been said before but yeah. and i dont know about you but i would rather see variety than hae to fight the same build over and over again, it seems boring and people would bet bored right away and the game would die faster.

    I don't like to live in a world with just one color, I don't care if my favorite color is green, gray, magenta, whatever. I don't want everything to be just one color. That's essentially why I dislike the number of users. If some people like to min/max, that's fine. If I fight min/maxers, that's fine. If there is one set that is the superior choice, meaning there are wrong choices to make, that I have an issue with. I hate upgrades, I prefer sidegrades.

    I hate paradigms, but I have to say: Its a paradigm.

    "Oh he defeated me because he is wearing a better armor and a sort of mask, so, in my logic, to defeat him and anyone else, I have to wear the same gear!"

    Don't you think?

    I almost killed a havel poison bowman and lightning katana Darkwraith with a Broadsword... 74 to 200 damage a hit, almost killed him. Sadly, we were fighting on a Sen;s bridge, and the guy had slashed me and I accidentally fell.

    A raw broadsword that was not fully upgraded vs a katana that is made of lightning... and wearing chain armour that has little to no lightning resistance.

    Nothing is actually unbalanced about having one good item combination that s better than all other combinations. All this does is limit variety.

    "everyone using the same build (pretty much)". Playstyles vary depending on weapons (Giants armor, DWGR, MoMs do almost nothing to affect how someone plays). There's a dozen competitive builds in DkS each with a dozen variations.

    Hm, I got to disagree with this; The mentality of a player can change depending on what they have, including armour and such. That, and armour, rings, masks, and other things adds a form of ability and also changes the ability the player has in playing the game, whether it is small or big or in between.

    This is a roleplaying game, having no variety is a bad thing. Also, a lot of people hate the dwgr because it just looks stupid seeing characters in full heavy armor sets ninja flipping around. If all these mom mask+heavy poise armor players had to fat roll, it would be more balanced. I love this game, but dwgr was just bad game design. Its cool, but throws the whole pvp balance off tilt. I honestly would not be surprised if it did end up getting nerfed in the dlc or new edition of the game.

    So long as you are respectful:
    Don't sling mud at someone else, directly or indirectly. Feel free to have gripes at the Masks themselves, but don't disparage someone's viewpoint; it takes a lot of time, and effort to come up with one! However, you should challenge incorrect assumptions in a polite manner, and try to state yours factually to show the rational behind it. This way viewpoints, your own included, can go further.

    http://tinyurl.com/86qvyoy without dwgr

    http://tinyurl.com/87n3upy with dwgr.

    Not a huge difference there. The DWGR all by itself is definitely better than the other equipment burden modification items are, but thats what 1 more hit, 2 if you're lucky. Its the stack thats broken. Like fruit said. The builds are just proof of concept.

    Okay, I run this http://tinyurl.com/7axokpb - I run that armor setup because it looks freakin awesome and anyway... I can toggle out of stunlocks and parry people, to be fair when my BSS r2 hits for about 700/800 I think I am fine with having a lack of poise. It turns you into a better player, although I have to admit when I see that DMB Falchion +3 I equip my wolf ring as a safety measure xD

    But Tolvo, that build is original and interesting! It's obviously not the best out there and so you won't win fights with it. Here are some changes I'd recommend. Do those and you'll really be getting the best bang for your buck in terms of stats, and you should see your win rate improve.

    Oh please... Reaper, that might get you the best stats... but let's be honest. You can make a better build then that, be original, and still be a *** about it.
    EDIT: Changed the link. Even while trying to build a ganking build, my mind said "NO!" and forgot the mask x_x.

    PC Edition is on the way. Beware the modding community, because you may just get what you ask for...
