It's only sour in the fact that going into Melee with a boss (or PvP for that matter) doesn't feel as optimal/effective as being a caster of some kind. I actually kind of enjoy tanking a boss, because I like tanking things. I just wish that the differences in power between casting and Melee wasn't so sharp.

That and I wish that armor did more than just let me survive a few extra hits.

But hey, this is Dark Souls. I'm also not exactly super good at the game and only play PvE & Co-op, so perhaps I'm just being salty.
