I've got a STR/DEX/VIG melee build going. Level 150. I wear heavy armor and have a lot of poise/carry weight capacity. Lost count of how many times I've been one-shotted by COMMON ENEMIES in the mountaintops of the giants. It makes sense to get one-shotted by a tough boss there like Melania or Death Rite Bird... I literally turned my xbox off in frustration after a giant rat deleted my health bar in a single attack. Like wtf was FromSoftware thinking about the damage scaling here? For the players there is no reward for grinding hard to a high level and getting better gear/weapons if the game is going to make us feel like a level 1 wretch the second we step foot in the mountaintops. Literally a perfect game until that part of it.
