Oh, by the way, on the subject of King Vendrick: If you're planning on getting the fifth Giant Soul from the Ancient Dragon, tanking isn't easy. If you're in the center of his fire from above attack, there isn't much luck for you, even with the most hardcore stability.

Usually, while tanking, there are some times where it's best to take off all your armor to get that extra speed and stamina to dodge those boss attacks. My guy, who's usually suited with full Havel's and two giant clubs, was fish in a barrel when it came to the Ancient Dragon. So I just took off all my Havel's Armor and put as many equipment load rings as I could to get that bit extra speed on escaping his fire attacks.
