They definitely need to patch some stuff. I wouldn't really mess too much with Havel's though as it is super heavy and as mentioned above has poor poison resistance, so it does have it's down sides.

I do think they should stretch the amount of hp you get out though. Like it should max out at 60 not 50 (but you still get the same as if you had 50). Really I think the main problem is soul memory and the fact that people are just blasting into high levels so they can get really OP stuff.
