I just hit 21, have been planning on a full plate tank build. I have like 30 points in carry weight now and still can only equip 1 piece before I fa troll. Is fat rolling in plate required?
Your main-/offhand’s weight also counts in, keep that in mind. However there gems that will decrease an item’s weight you could use to lower your load. Then there’s also the chance to have increased equip-load and or decreased item weight when enchanting items.

You’ll need to get lucky with enchantments on your plate armor to hit both “item weight reduced by X%” and “equip load increased by X%”, plus using the small feathers as gems. Even with all of that, I couldn’t tell you how many points you’d have to put into carry weight.
Plate armor is pure greed. Even aiming for full Mesh requires lucky rolls and quite a few points in equip load.

So if you want your entire build to be about medium or light rolling in plate, it is possible to invest that heavily into equip load and get the right gems/enchantments to lighten the gear…
However I think the most important thing to get here is that in this game, fat roll isn’t so bad that you must avoid it. For one you gain a special shove move which will break the stance of almost anything, when you are at heavy equip load. For another the protection from armor gear is so powerful that it is worth fat rolling.

It is! Exactly why I want to see how far the game lets me push it. Don’t really care if it ends up being viable, more about finding out. Good info, thank you.
Because its heavy armor? You are really going to have to get lucky on rolls for reduced item weight or slotted feathers into every piece. You arent supposed to be able to move as well as someone wearing leather armor when your defense is that much higher. Fat rolling in this game isnt as bad as a souls game because L1+R1 together allow you to bully mobs.
Yeah just want to see how tanky I can possibly get. I’m also not really playing the game, more testing out the viability of different builds. I’m not grinding for mats to make armor to enchant.
I’ve already beat the main story, now I’m duping the hell out of everything to expedite alts. I have a character save with 10 gold. I restore that save, buy my full inventory of, say, plate helmets. I put those helmets in storage in a backup realm and save that realm file. Then repeatedly take them back out, enchant them, sell what I don’t want, rinse and repeat util I have a plate helmet with a reasonable enchant. You can do this forever. I rinse and repeat that process until I have one of each plate item with reasonable enchant. Then I put all 4 in the backup realm and save that, then pull 5x the set to fill up my inventory again. Then I infuse them and take the best infuse and sell the rest. Now I have a full set, good enchants, good infuse. Then I dupe mats to upgrade them all real fast.
I can do this in about 45m. Needless to say I dupe a bunch of large exp pots to get to max level before I do all this. All told, I can get a whole new spec spun up in just over an hour.
So yeah, just want to see how tanky I can get. I’m on the spectrum, this is how I play games lol.
that is very weird that only with 1 piece you are fat rolling, do you really have 30 points in capacity weight? Anyway remember that in this game when you are heavy weight you get a new skill to push enemies (with joystick you do that with r1 + l1) this skill is very useful I am using a character with heavy rolling and I don’t have much issues.
Also I think you might have an armor or weapon with a negative enchant that says “x% reduced capacity” or something like that, those really affect it, I have one that is 25% so its a lot.
Apart from that you can also find some rings which increace the capacity.
I would recommend to not put any further point in capacity, 30 is already a lot
This worked perfectly, thank you!
