Hey, we did some more testing with Rant and here's what we found:
Thrust type hammers deal less poise damage than regular hammers. You need 21 poise to resist 1h R1 attack of pickaxe or warpick and 31 to resist 2h attack. Usually hammers break 36/53.
1h Claymore R2 breaks 41, you need 42 to resist it. So wolf ring is not enough. 2h R2 breaks 52.
Katana 1h running attack breaks 22 poise, 2h breaks 32. you need 23/33 to resist it.
Bolts and arrows break 20. Didn't test greatbows.
These were some things i've heard from other players and/or noticed myself in pvp but wanted to test personally. Feel free to double check this stuff, i'm pretty confident they are correct. There is still plenty of things to test. Greatbows, spear/curved sword running attacks, some spells etc. Also, i was thinking about adding a short list of some optimized armor combinations. PvP in mind of course. Feel free to chime in.
