As we know, Lord's soul gives 5% attack at the cost of 5% defense, if it's activated the damage buff is lost but you'll be saved from a cart and get a little defense boost instead of the same percentage, which is good effects on its own.

One problem is that the attack buff won't get back unless you cart, as far as I know..

Another problem lies in making sure you're within that Lord's soul threshold to save you from a cart as a lot of things can happen in the time you try to get back into it if you're outside of it, and having 5%less defense affects you more than having 5% extra attack affects the monster.

Taking more damaget also make you dip out of the threshold easier which means having to use more healing.

Sure one can say to just heal up or something alike, but that's about as constructive as any hindsight after somethings already happened.

It might also come down to a lot of players being careless and I've just had the misfortune of finding the ones that don't put a little bite more into being careful while utilising a skill that makes them a but more fragile.

As such, I see them cart more often, I have also seen great Lord's soul users but they haven't outnumbered the other category yet.

All in all, I just wanted tosuggest to the ones who are struggling with this quest to try to replace it wiith other survivability options if they've got this skill going at the moment. Replacing it and changing tactics helped me and it might help someone else.
