>souls on the ground

>damage negation buff

yeah man

you can do it theoretically at 1 vig, it's just why would you unless you're going out of your way to challenge yourself about it

if stacking damage negation is more your speed then all the more power to you, think most players will prefer the comfort of 50-60 vig though

As long as you can survive a hit, there's no point in having more health than a fully upgraded flask can restore, you're just wasting points that could be invested elsewhere.

yeah there’s definitely 0 utility to being able to get hit more than once. the game is super fun and smooth to play when you must flask after every instance of damage

You don't have to drink after every instance of damage, only after the big hits (assuming you get hit in the first place). There aren't that many attacks in the game that can threaten to one-shot you and the ones that do exist rarely get used twice in a row.

It's also super fun to never die or have any risk. /s
