Should I level up my resistance in Dark Souls?

Higher resistance is in a sense equivalent to higher HP. But as you raise your resistance, you'll find that all attacks in general do less damage to you. The other BIG advantage is you will need to use less Estus Flasks, since your HP bar won't be so big and you can take more hits over time.
