Ew, see, a reason i love dark souls is that the armor doesn't do that.
It looks loving awful and gross.
Different visuals for different mediums. This is what I settled on visual wise:


Silver reskin of brass armor that I found on the nexus. The build itself is 35 vit, 40 end, 45 str and dex. Comes to SL120. Fast rolls with havel and RoFaP even with dual claymores. Forest pvp has been cake with this, and since I got the hang of dual wielding my wins have skyrocketed.
