The Difference Between Eldering and the Souls Games

I'm not at the cap I see So I started working my way back and killing stuff and building my fortitude up. But even still it just feels like I don't know because it is there. It's grinding by the strictest sense of the word, but enemies die pretty fast when you're high fortitude. You can really just overpower people at your level or even a little bit higher in this game. If you know what you're doing if you know what your attacks do some attacks might go under a guard and like really fuck someone up. And that will actually gain you more fortitude than just normally killing them way.
