So when you playing from start and gaining skills you are at the same time along the way gaining new armors and wepons that reduces the skills as they crave more stamina or will make you slower.
And I also think that losing some skills by dying ain't a big deal sins you soon gain them again by doing what you have to do. Sometimes it can feels a bit stiff after dying many times ( not in a row ). But I feel I soon adapt to it and do not really care about the skills as i said before i will get them soon enough anyway.

Totally agree with the end of skill levels, i finished the game on my main and never really noticed what the skills do or how it effects me. Yea the armor and weps drain alot more stam haha, But luckily we get good stam food now for that issue :P

The dying part i can relate too. Sucks it drops signifiicantly (Pologies for the spelling lol). But yea chain dying reducing all of your stats (Even the buff says dying again won't let you loose anymore stats).

Thanks for the helpful info mate. :)
