Allone Captain Gloves and Leggings +10, Gyrm Warrior Armor +10 and Venglar Helm +5. I have Havel Set which will in theory put me near the 1250 Def threshold, but it needs a ton of twinking titanite. For now I'm using Havel Greatshield +5.

It's making a ton of difference, especially on PVP. Anything that doesn't have Bleed or Poison barely dents me. On PvE, other than windup attacks, nothing takes more than 30% HP, even the enemies on Dragon Shrine.

I remember back in the first DS, on my first playthrough I ended up at 110 and found no one to PVP . There's tons of chances now, even on first playthrough at 141.

@areason - Ups, totally forgot about Frampt .

Do you know how much you weigh with all that? I just found Havel's armor and it's way too heavy. With 21 Vitality and my weapons my weight percentage is over 90. Trying to keep any armor I weigh below 70%.

I think it's about 85 or so, but with Third Dragon Ring and Soldier Ring +1 (the one that increases your load), i'm at the 65% threshold. 

I'm using a Lightning Drangleic Sword +5 as my main weapon for now, but once I've got enough Petrified Dragon Bones, I'm gonna switch to the King's Ultra Greatsword (after elementalizing it to Lightning), so I might drop a few weight on the armor department.
