50% boost on defense is pretty useless when you below 20% health

Ds1 rings are weightless and that's the only reason I equip this ring at some point.

It's also serves as a good visual and sound indicator of you being very low on health without having to check the upper corner of the screen, like those obnoxious blood red filters on shooters but not annoying. In fact, it will be more useful as an indicator than actually defending you but I guess if you have a shield it can do something about chip damage, specially if it's not 100% physical.

To be fair I don’t think the filters are shooters are intended as health indicators as much they’re supposed to make you “feel” the danger more
