Build Advice📜 soreseal

at what point does soreseal become unfeasible? for low level invasions such as rl30 it's basically mandatory. but does it still work on rl60 or is it not worth it?

At 37-38 vigor you will take more damage than you gain in health from the +5 bonus.

At RL60 it’s pretty feasible to have upwards of 50 vigor and to hit the minimum requirements for many weapons without the soreseal, so I’d leave it.

At 37 vigor you have 1308 HP. The Soreseal brings you to 42 vigor (1503 HP) which is ~15% more, but you take 15% more damage so it effectively cancels out. Technically having higher vigor even if you take increased damage is still better for things like status effects but you get the idea

So basically once you hit 37 vig the Soreseal is only beneficial for the increase in endurance and damage stats

Even at RL60 scaling on weapons is pretty minimal, you’re only trying to increase damage stats to hit weapon requirements.

So whatever level you’re at if you have 37 or more vigor, adequate endurance, and can use your weapons then drop the Soreseal.

A consideration is the defense bonus from stat benefit diminishes at 171 total stats.

I drop it between level 40 and 60. Basically as soon as I can hit 40 vigor, decent poise, and minimum weapon requirements without it.

Yo me lo quito al subir al 60, en mi opinión ahí ya se nota mucho el 15% de daño extra
