**** this stupid ring

2024 and some people still don't know how Poise works

Submit

Note that the thing about giving less poise the more you have is not a function of this ring, it's just how poise works in general. Poise is effectively a type of absorption, so the displayed poise is the total percentage reduction you get by multiplying the reductions from each source of reduction. No matter what, it will reduce incoming poise damage by 4/6/8/9%

Does the plus 3 version count towards the achievement if you didn't get the normal one? I don't really want to farm for it.

Submit

what's the point of this ring if poise doesn't exist at all in this game

Submit

what's the point of this ring if with havel's you can wear heavier armour which gives poise as well as resistance, and you can get havel's ring much earlier than this one

Submit

Spend hours grinding against Ghru enemies or force your way through 30 Farron Fight Clubs for a useless Ring to get the "All Rings" achievement. Trade all those extra Pale Tongues you got from the Darkwraiths who fight the Ghru for a Staff that scales off of LUCK. Wait for a Darkmoon summon that's never coming since nobody's using Way of Blue any more, or hit about 400 item discovery and fight about 400 Silver Knights to get Darkmoon Blade for the Miracle achievement. Wait for a host to fall off a ledge 30 times to get Warmth for the Pyromancy achievement, or it's off to the B O N E Z O N E with you. At least it's easy enough to get Sunlight Medals and Human Dregs...

This ring is useful for glaive/halberd builds trying to get over the 43 poise breakpoint needed to hyperarmor one 2h glaive attack, and 46 poise breakpoint needed to hyperarmor 1-handed greatsword attack.

Of all the rings in the game they chose THIS SHT to upgrade.

Submit

It's basically useless, it gives diminishing returns on poise when it already has very low base value.

E.g if you had 25 poise the formula becomes

4 -(4*25/100) = 3poise and the bonus gets Lower and lower as you stack more poise.

At 44 poise you only get: 4-(4*44/100) = 2.24.

Why even put +1/+2 rings in ng+ when you can get +3 on ng? I get that dlc was released later, but they do it every time.. Also many rings base versions seems just useless and Wolf Ring require so much farm you can just get +3 faster. I think on the launch of the game it was different, but am I right about today, or missing something?

Also known as the Pendant

the only time that wolf ring is decent is:

SL 27-60 accounts that can't use a heavy armor even with havel's ring.
sou can use wolf's ring with a light/medium armor and still having a good hyper armor along with a greatsword/longsword/Straightswords


wolf's ring is acceptable in low levels but for arena and high lvl invasion is literraly useless

Submit

So it barely adds poise when poise is almost useless? Why? Why nerf poise AND the ring which gives poise?

Submit

IT ONLY ADS 4 FOOKIN POISE?

Why anyone would waste a ring slot on this instead of something like the Prisoners Chain or FaP Ring is beyond me.

Submit

Why did they even bother adding it? jesus christ the state of bb pvp slapped from so hard they nerfed all the good s**t that made dark souls iconic in to oblivion in ds3. I sure as hell hope elden ring don't suffer the same fate.

This page seems to suggest that this ring provides flat +4/6/8/9 increases to poise, when actually those are only the increases when you're naked. The build maker at Soulsplanner states that the Wolf +3 is a simple 9% increase to poise, but that also is incorrect. Despite this the calculator still gives accurate values and can be trusted.
When you have 00.00 base poise, wearing the Wolf +3 gives you 9.00 extra poise for 09.00 total.
When you have 09.90 base poise, wearing the Wolf +3 gives you 8.11 extra poise for 18.01 total.
When you have 20.10 base poise, wearing the Wolf +3 gives you 7.19 extra poise for 27.29 total.
When you have 20.10 base poise, wearing the Wolf +0 gives you 3.20 extra poise for 23.30 total.
From this it seems that when your base poise is 'P', and the ring provides an extra W when naked, these are the formula:
Extra poise = W(1 - 1/100 * P)
Total poise = P + W(1 - 1/100 P)
Total poise = P + W - WP / 100
So if you'd like at least P' poise after wearing the ring, you need a base poise of
Base poise = (P' - W) / (1 - W / 100)

I'd go Havel's everytime if I was tryharding since you also get extra absorption, but damn those fat armours are ugly. To me, this ring seems to have two uses: fashion souls, and sub metalevel builds with high stat demands that also need poise.
The Wolf ring can push some of the more fashionable armour pieces into practicality so you're not so disgusting to behold.
At SL120 you should always have enough stats, but below that you can wear both the Wolf and Havel's ring to save a lot on Vitality and make some stat demanding weapons more viable at lower levels than they would be otherwise. Of course you're still missing out on another useful ring, so it's probably still suboptimal. Maybe only swap in the Wolf ring if you're up against a high poise damage weapon.

Why dose Alva have the wolf ring +3??

Submit

Wolf ring +3 only gives 6 poise, not 9

Submit

Havel's Ring always outclasses Wolf Ring. Wolf Ring's only benefit is that it can be quickly swapped in the heat of battle. Instead of swapping rings AND armor to gain more poise like you'd have to do with Havel's Ring, you can just swap one ring to get a bit more poise with Wolf Ring. In short, use Havel's Ring over Wolf Ring unless you're planning on swapping real quick during battle.

What are the details on how this ring works? What weapon classes benefit from it?

Submit

I miss poise.

Submit

I sold the basic wolf ring, can I get it again if I keep giving the plants?

Submit

I won't believe that poise exists until i see daggers and similar lightweight weapons bounce off a heavy armor. Hyper armor is NOT the poise we grew up with.

Does the +3 Ring from dlc counts as achievment?

Actually, this ring a good choice for PvP-arena or duels. When you think what's better: Wolf ring or Havel's Ring, you already know answer: Havel's better, but... When u wear Havel's Ring and get heavier armor, u get more defence and with heavier armor u SHOULD to wear Havel's ring everytime. And wolf ring u can just swap for more suitable ring (if u fight against light weapon, like straight swords or curved swords and u know you have enough poise to trade with them without Wolf ring), that's a very good option. Also, if u know poise breakpoints of your weapon and weapon of your opponent, u can just surprise him with extra poise points and win the trade. This ring definetly not necessary for "mail ring slot", but just keep it in your inventory for duels.

only 9 poise with the +3 ring? This ring is useless LOL, with the lothric spear you get +15 poise

Submit

The only time you should use this is with very specific weapon, armor, and weight breakpoints. Not useless, but close.

Submit

Should I use this on the Hollow Greatsword because of the great hyper armor?

Submit

*the placeholder ring, this ring does absolutely nothing, it depicts a wolf for some reason, and looks very old, it's said to boost this thing called POISE, but poise no one knows what poise is, because it seemingly doesn't exist

Submit

No matter how you defend poise in this game, it s utter trash caused by bloodborne s influence and braindead fanboys who spams their straight swords the whole day. This mechanic and absorption stats that stacks diminishingly totally ruined heavy knight builds and the npc who are actual heavy knights are either buffed with artifficial difficulty or given ds1 poise just for being 0,30 cm taller.

Submit

Even if you wear this, you will still probably get staggered by a straight sword.

Submit

Please, can anybody left this ring (version normal - adquired across 2 nível of convenant of wathdogs of farron) for me? My id in PSN is GODOFWARSmars11

Submit

So, through thorough testing with different VIT levels, it seems that wearing Havel's Ring and better poise armor leaves you with more defensive stats (since it's better armor) and anywhere from 0-2 less poise if not slightly more (tested with +3 versions). Now, if you're going to maximum poise - that is, full havel's - then due to diminishing returns on poise, you're only going to get 4.48 extra poise instead of the advertised 9. In conclusion: This thing is worthless, I won't apologize for hurting your feelings, stop defending it.

Ah, the old wolf ring, darkmoon blade, warmth and great lightning spear battle, the real final boss of Dark Souls 3. Don't go hollow trying to get this one lads, after all the only people who will know you have it are you and the weirdo who decides to stalk you achievement profile.

Poise.........Is...........Turned..........Off............In.........This.....Game. So this ring is a joke. Anyone pretending this ring has an effect, is a noob who doesn't do research. The game has literally been HACKED, to turn on Poise, and played offline to see the affect. Dark Souls 3, has no poise. If you disagree, you're wrong.

Submit

For all the people who think its useless for whatever reason: its not. Example? I wore Ringed knight set and used Ringed Knight Paired GS on Sould of cinder, without wolf ring I was stopped mid-animation and didn't even manage to hit the boss. However with Wolf Ring +3 equipped I was able to perform attack animation and it does huge difference. Of course it doesn't make difference for every creatures attacks, but it certainly might be useful.

Submit

Yes, you will get a miniscule, almost invisible increase in hyperarmor with the +3 version, but you could also just equip the Havel's Ring +3 and some higher poise armor to also get better resistances with less diminishing poise returns. This really only has a use if you have garbage VIT, making the +19% equip load from Havel's equal 2 pounds or something.

Submit

numbers aren't exact, i had 50 poise with havel set and the plus 3 only added 4 poise.

Submit

This is the most op ring. Someone, get from to nerf it. The poise in this game is too strong.

Submit

Hey look! They returned the pendant from Dark Souls 1.

Submit

When you want higher poise, but you just can't let go of your fashion.

Submit

I almost for got about the Wolf Ring +1 in my mission to collect all rings (Not including DLC).

Submit

Love seeing all the comments saying “poise means nothing in ds3”. Until you meet a poise tank that out-trades you because they just won’t stagger

Submit

Useless ring as wearing Havels ring and heavier armor will most of the times give you higher poise and also higher absorption.

Submit

So in case i sold it because i thought "I don't need this i got the +3 version" and than it's the last ring i need for the trophy, is there any way to get it again? Because i farmed 30 again and he gave me nothing. Thanks in advance.

Submit

So does this unlock ds1 poise?

Submit

Two ways to get the swordgrasses for the ring:

1) stay at lvl 20ish. Level vigor and stamina and str enough to use a raw great club/ frozen great club two handed (19 str I think). Then get summoned until you earn 30 before you level up higher.

2) go to the fortress bonfire with the three ghrus in NG but after you beat the game (killing them by then will super easy). Left hand the crystal sage rapier, wear the symbol of avarice and the gold serpent ring (+3 if you beat the ringed city). Now use a gold coin and pull your strongest attack. I used the black knight sword two handed r1s and got 4 runs before the effect ran out. By run 10 I had the two swordgrasses I needed to get covenant lvl 2 (all I wanted was the curved sword).

Submit

Lol! So many ring beggars! Go grind lazy asses

Artorias should look for a better ring.

In Dark Souls 1, Artorias has a +40 poise boost with this ring.
In Dark Souls 3, Artorias has a +3.36 poise boost with this ring.

realy, the only point of this ring is if you hhave a low weight armor miracle build, pretty much useless fr anything else.

omg why did they nerf it, its actually useful fo builds with low poise to equip this ring and when using hyperarmor frames with the trade.

Hi does anybody gave the regular ring that would let me hold it just for a second to get the trophy? I'll give it back and in return can give you all other rings, slave knight Gael soul, lord of cinder soul, twin princes soul, consumed king soul and champion gundyr soul. Please :)

great ring if you ACTUALLY had poise... oh wait even if you had poise it still***** compared to ds1

Why did they nerf these rings to the ground? Hell, the +3 version only gives one point more compared to the others that at least of a 2 point increase. The patch is now way to favored for fat-armored poise stacking...
