Talk:Iron Flesh (Dark Souls II)/@comment-5003336-20141203232300

you people under-estimate how powerfull 100 poise can be. I know everyone thinks poise is useless, but it's not if you have 91 poise you can poise-tank a 1-handed light attack from anything with 30 poise damage or lower, iron flesh adds 100 poise. Oh, and if that isn't good enough for you hyper-armour (which you recive in the second half of most heavy weapon swings) essentialy DOUBLES your poise. If you're able to move at all and someone is dumb enough to try to attack you while this buff is active you can garuntee at least a counter hit and whatever combo your weapon can do.
