@gotrekfabian: You're definitely right about that. Your build is a huge part of what parts of the game are challenging. I'm a Dex heavy build with level 80 dex, 60 Vigor, and very little else upgraded other than endurance and the stats necessary to equip the weapons I want to use. Large enemies like the Fire Giant kick the crap out of me, as does anything that can cover a lot of ground quickly, as I need to be close range to actually deal any damage.
But enemies that charge you and hover around you like Malenia were a breeze (though it did take me like 20 tries).
I actually didn't find Malenia that difficult. She staggers incredibly easily, and if you just keep whacking her rather than try to play defense for almost undodgeable, you can take both phases of her down in like 90 seconds.
Yes, team up with the other failing company that got a random, non-merit based boost in stock of no correlation to the actual value and performance of the company, so you can both fail together.
