Poise and boss stagger
The official July 5 Poise page says Poise is a hidden stagger bar that lets players stagger many bosses briefly, lowers their defense while staggered, and decays quickly if attacks stop landing.
Use this page to separate checked formulas and Poise rules from player-entered estimates before turning a build idea into a boss-readiness plan.
Stats pages should help players understand uncertainty. They should not turn incomplete wiki extraction into exact-looking numbers.

Use player-entered DPS in the planner until weapon attack speed, scaling, status ticks, and resistance details are fully extracted.
The checked planner formula uses base HP multiplied by (321 / 250) to the power of players minus one.
Duration and level claims should link back to status-effect sources before they become calculator constants.
The planner is designed to work even before every Pilgrammed stat is extracted. Players can enter a conservative DPS estimate, the known or estimated boss base HP, and a survivability confidence level. That keeps the output useful without pretending the site has complete combat tables.
A later data pass can turn verified weapon stats, equipment bonuses, status durations, and boss HP values into presets. Until then, the stats wiki should explain what is known, what is estimated, and which source would be needed to make a stronger claim.
The official Poise page is strong enough to answer what Poise does, how stagger windows work, and why a melee setup might care. It is not strong enough to justify one copied best-build claim for every weapon, so this page keeps the mechanic separate from hype-driven loadouts.
Use weapon pages to decide what DPS estimate belongs in the planner.
BossesUse boss pages for scaling, route notes, and missing exact-data labels.
Tier listRankings stay role-first until exact stat extraction supports stronger claims.
Short answers for exact formulas, safe launch data, and planner use.
No. This page keeps formula boundaries visible and sends exact readiness math to the planner only when checked or player-entered.
The boss player-count HP scaling formula is checked, and the official Poise page now gives the site a safer exact term for stagger behavior. Exact weapon DPS and many status-duration tables still need deeper extraction.
Yes. Poise now routes here because the official July 5 wiki page explains the stagger system, decay window, and melee-poise formula boundaries without forcing the site into fake universal build math.
Use it as a source boundary before entering DPS, base HP, status plan, and survivability confidence in the Build & Boss Planner.
