Demon's Souls is an action-RPG developed by From Software and released in 2009. It quickly became popular within hardcore circles for its relentlessly steep difficulty level, deep combat system, and unique multiplayer integration.
" Messes up someones armor pretty quick giving them a huge repair bill, really annoying. "
Just few minutes ago, I used it on a black phantom. I noticed that you can't use turpentine or sticky stuff on it. I wonder if it ruins the shield. I was turtling and giving him friendly nudges. His shield wasn't 100% resistant against physical attacks so eventually he started rolling around. The fight was over in a matter of seconds. BTW, I wear the gloom armour to spook people a bit. :D
" I've read that its essential if you're planning on pvp along with the Anti-Magic Field spell. "
I'm definitely getting the anti-magic field (I'm still on my first playthrough).
I think the gloom armour helps in the psychological warfare department. :D When I walk around with the meat clever (takes out silver skeletons in one hit and sends them flying, at least in the first playthrough), I scare myself.
From my experience with the NPC black phantom in 1-3 (1-4?) I can tell you that it definitely does. If you look carefully one uses a scraping spear. I blocked it twice and that alone gave my shield a moderate repair bill. You might have actually started to break that guys shield when he started rolling around like crazy.
