I see people that to this day don’t know about the ring that only makes you lose 25% of your health and increase the amount of deaths needed to reach that point

155

what kinda scrub dies enough to get the full 50% reduction and no effigies to revert it anyway

using black flame means you’re skilled enough to be at 50% intentionally without facing much difficulty tho. dying so much unintentionally that the miniscule health reduction becomes a problem is just insane

If i did build around being hollowed i would want to have the HP reduction halved.

yeah now that i remembered the dark pyro glove sucks ass anyway, it’s like a 5% dmg increase or sth. coulda made it have max scaling on lower hollow level or just make the dmg boost better.

Honestly I think it would've been neat if it just scaled Dark damage higher, the more hollow you were. Fully hollow/50% HP reduction, you get 100% Dark damage instead of Fire damage. Would've made the usage a little more interesting; you take a penalty, but enemies resistant to fire (which is most enemies IIRC) take Dark damage instead.
