I like tinkering with builds in Souls II. As you all know the giant dad build basically dissappeared due to poise mechanics. I find that with both illusionary rings and dual greatswords at 99 str you can still stunfuck and utterly stomp people.

But I made a recent discovery.

With 99 vitality and one ring that boosts your equip load, you can cast iron flesh on full havels armour and fat roll. Under normal circumstances iron flesh usually completely over encumbers you. But with enough equip load you can fat roll or even fast roll.

I tested it out in the arena with a bare fists build and the mask of pharros for extra hate mail. The amount of damage you can tank is insane.

I thought your xbox exploded?

I fixed it. The chips weren't damaged but the cat barf corroded some wires. Easily replaceable with a little bit of hobo workarounds and some cleaning. I just had to tamper with the thing and try to get into every nook and cranny. They pack those little boxes tight.

I figured, since the box was already dead, it wouldn't actually hurt to see if I could replace as many parts as I was able to, stick everything back together and try it.

And it worked. I've a zombie xbawks now.

Pop on some Syan's or mastodon armor and that should get the aesthetics down flat.
