Makes sense. Dark Souls has a lot of options and can be overwhelming, so sticking to just one can make approaching the game easier. If all you have is a hammer, approach everything like a nail.
My hammer was playing a SL1 character with only a reinforced club and a handful of pyromancies (that I never even use); with only minimal HP, armor, and stamina, I learned to approach every problem with careful movement and deliberate skull-bashing. Useful skills to have on future characters-- even with armor and health and weapons, it helps being practiced at not getting hit.
