Greetings, I have just recently started started playing Dark Souls (was finally able to pilfer the xbox from my brother) so, at first I went with a thief style character, decided I should become more skilled and tried a Pyromancer into a warrior.
I built him with high defense/attack in mind. He is Soul Level 51 or so with 20 Vitality, 26 or so Endurance and 30 Strength. Equipped with the Elite Knight Set mostly all of it is +4-6, and a Zweihander that is +10. I am able to handle most enemies, and the larger ones will either still stagger from my weight, and if I really need to I have Iron Skin, but I feel for most bosses that I fight now (in Sen's currently) completely ignore any amount of defense I can muster, and dodging tends to be the better option, which I can no longer do too well. So...my question is, will my character slowly become more competent (of course as I gain more skill as well, first playthrough ftw) so...I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some equipment tips and such for how to be a good tanking style character.
I apologize for the wall of text, and I apologize for bothering you all with a question in the first place. I just wanted to know if my character would be viable and what not later on. Thank you kindly for reading and responding.
