My builds have a problem

All of my builds right now uses the dragon body, no matter which cov they are in. And i have remade most of my builds to better fit the dragon body. While this does look awesome it is a great disadvantage to fight basically naked.
I just can’t resist using it. And if i put on any armour i feel unhonorable.

I love the idea of using dragon body but seeing as I forest hunt I cant afford too. wear painting guardian robes thats probably more difficult than dragon body.

It's not a disadvantage if you use the correct rings.

For dragon body I use Wolf's and either Steel Protection of RoFaP. You should be fast rolling anyways as your burden should be low.

Also play how you enjoy, it is better to play a so called "crappy" build that you enjoy, instead of a "cookiecutter". It is more about you enjoying your build and your time spent on the game than winning all the time.

Just my 2 cents
