        Vig does not have a softcap of 27, 27 just gives you a nice even 1000 hp. 27 actually has the biggest _decrease_ in amount of hp given: 25 -> 26 gives you 30 hp, 26 -> 27 gives you only 23. After 27 vigor the hp dropoff per level flattens out considerably. 28 and 29 both give you 19 hp, 30, 31, and 32 all give you 18 hp. The rate of dropoff increases steadily up to 99. The actual softcap is 17 vig. From 0-16 every level gives you more hp. 16->17 give the same as 15->16, and everything after 17 gives you less. The most efficient vig levels, ie the ones right before the dropoff in hp/lvl increases, are: 17, 26, 32, 36, 44, 46, & 48. Ultimately though, you should forget about softcaps and get as much hp as you need. 27 is good for the early game, 35 for the mid game, and 40 should carry you through several ng cycles. If you want 44, 46, or even 50, those can all be worth it. Especially with an ember, or any rings that boost hp by a percentage.

          The Dark Hand heals a base of 288 HP per lifedrain. This is uneffected by how much HP your opponent has, and is likely effected by what level your opponent is (i.e. Invaders/Phantoms).

            Survivability for me is about 15 vigor (mostly offline play) embered leaves 730 odd HP which is reasonable. Then you can just go from there putting into your build stats

              I just met a full Havel, I did around 2000 DMG to him and that reduced him to about half his HP. Is this possible or is he cheating? (No healing factors were involved)

                i am worried about something, i leveled up my vigor to probably 17 and my health bar expanded(which were good news) but after i died maybe 2 times the health bar shrink pretty small , like when you start a new game, so. anyone knows what should i do to expand it again? and if so, how? and does this mean i wasted my souls leveling up the vigor? i would be so thankful if you could help me

                  Max hp ive managed to get with life ring plus 2, favor plus 2 is 2048HPWith prisoners chain it may go up a few points but the trade off isn't worth it if you are tryin to be tank. With 2048 HP you can get more out of armor and rings of steel protection. Tearstones and morion blade work well with 2048. Downside is that your damage will be significantly weaker and it's debateable whether the 49 extra point investment into life to reach 99, is worth it. Up to you.

                    I swear I've had the same HP since i started the game.. I'm at the part where i fight the abyss watchers. i figured out going back to the fire shrine and talking to the lady and increasing your strength will raise HP but is that the only way? i feel like everyone has a fat bar of HP and here i am with super low HP?

                      Take the Knight, dump all points into vigor and upgrade the long sword to max using raw, then you are good to go.
