DS2 Gower's Ring of Protection Tips and Notes
This Ring decays extremely fast. The rate of decay depends on the weapon type it is struck with, the attack type (light/strong/two-handed/one-handed), and spell type. Most melee attacks will fall between 1-5 hits, however, most spells will take 10+ hits to break the ring. The ring's high durability resistance to spells makes it an ideal replacement to using a Havel's or Rebel's shield to counter casters as it weighs less and is just as easy to block spells with since the user just needs to turn their body around. This makes running away from casters completely safe by taking lag out of the equation if rolling. Instead of using repair powder during a match to repair the ring, farm several rings by using the bonfire ascetic and switch out rings as they get low in durability or break. This ring gives you the visual effect of a ghost clinging on your back. Ring will last more hits if using a Bracing Knuckle Ring. Very useful against certain enemies such as The Ancient Dragon as it will completely negate his fire which is usually fatal. (Doesn't negate damage as of Patch 1.06, but still reduces it)

Fextralife is such a shithole of false information the ring can also break after a single hit from certain enemies and even if you would calculate the average, it would still be 6, not 5 heavens

There's a strategy, stick to his left leg, only attack after he attack, 2-3 hits maximum. When he jump back, rush to his left leg and continues until he's dead.

I haven't played a lot of this game, but god this ring is amazing. By far one of the best PvE rings, since it lets you safely drink Estus during a boss. Absolutely love it.

So how much damage reduction does it provide now? This is Dark Souls, so i assume it's 5% but only on Tuesdays.
