Not necessarily. I find with mid/fat rolls, what I try to do is trade blows. My armour will be better than theirs, guaranteed. Mid roll means I have Havel's equipped, otherwise I'd be using DWGR.
With a 40 end (80 equipment load) you have 40 units of weight to work with if you want DWGR. If you say screw it and go fat roll, you have either 80 (with nothing), 96 (with RoFaP) or 120+ with other combinations. You can have so much damn armour (and a slot for a Stoneplate ring) that it actually works. A good stunlockign weapon, and you're good to go.
I've had good success on XBox Live against random people in the Forest. I want to see these elite players go at it though; occasionally I meet someone very, very good and they beat me, but I still think its very doable.
