DS1 backstabs are shit
>>119039721
So are DaS2's backstabs.
Adding a little punch did absolutely nothing.
>tfw nobody to slowly play through SotFS with killing bosses and exploring the world
>>119039979
PC?
>>119039721
>>119039878
they should've removed backstabs
PC or PS4 for Dark Souls 3?
>>119040148
both if you're not some poor cunt
>>119040235
>eyes
WRONG
>>119040148
PS4 has Bloodborne but PC will always run better and have better textures.
>>119040148
ps4 no hackers
>>119040063
Yeah, you fancy grouping up? I just blew my friends off to stay in and play.
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198013950701
>>119040450
I have never encountered a hacker in DaS1 and i play on the pc.
>>119040094
I think this is the only way. And let's be honest, what do backstabs really add to the game anyway?
It's just an unnecessary feature that screws up the balance between PvE and PvP
>>119040651
they are there, but not as much as /v/ shitposts for. They go for max anal devestation, most of the ones I have found are at the Forest and Oolacile.
That being said, its dead as fuck now so good luck finding anyone on pc DaS1 on anything but a weekend.
>>119040340
>>119040450
>ps4 no games
Fix'd.
>>119041335
He is cuter with eyes.
You should take some artistic freedom sometimes.
>>119041434
>I dont like its games so it doesn't have games
fixed
>>119041542
You sure?
>>119040450
After all the bullshit I witnessed while playing Souls on PS3 I'm not inclined to believe that.
>>119042083
Thats too much artistic freedom
>>119040642
When you want some coop hook me up im 1,9m sm and 3m sm.
>>119040467
Depends on which ones. I made a faith guy who used the Heide lance and he did pretty well. I've heard that Yorgh's spear is pretty good, but you'll have to beat pretty much all of Shulva (except for ye olde gank squad) to get to it.
I don't really mess around with polearms though, someone else might be able to help you more.
Would changing my Steam name to "Wisebuc Janneck" crash people's DS1 when they summon me / I invade them?
>>119043331
I think so. I'm pretty sure that's over the in game limit. Create a new character and see how long you can make the name, that should be the limit.
Is DS2:Scholar of the First Sin worth $20? I think it is on Gamersgate and think it redeems on Steam. Dark Souls 1 is one of my favorite games of all time but think I need to give 2 another shot.
>>119040831
From doesn't really care about PvP.
Can anyone drop me a Red/White Round Shield in Dark Souls? SL11, PC.
>>119042859
ps4 isnt hacked yet spazoid
has anyone gotten codes for the DaS3 test?
i'm hoping that my crippling anxiety is wrong
Do people usually hit 1m soul memory before getting all four Great Souls on NG in DaS2?
>Sucking all around
>Decide to go take on Quelaag since I need to actually try for progress
>Bait her around and whittle down with close range arrow shows

And that revitalized me after the Catacombs ground me down.
>>119039878
Except made them very easy to avoid.
>>119043980
>yet
Exactly. Besides, I'm sure there will be mules again.
someone has a DaS1 megamule that lets you make your own character?
>>119043980
>>119044818
I literally saw a mule character drop a streamer everything on PS4 this morning.
>>119043620
Go for it.
At the very least you can bullshit around in the online since it doesn't take an hour to connect to people.
DaS1 is nearly as active as Scholar but the game seems barren.
>>119044107
No, they usually have a little less than that. 700-800k or so.
>>119043620
Yes, it is.
>>119045632
That mule was made manually by the twitch community with save backups I think.
Would you take time to make and cosplay your favorite armor?
>>119040094
You should've gotten good.
>>119043620
Are steam keys from there actually legitimate? I've heard of people losing access to games after buying from third party distributors, but that's a pretty good price and I'd kind of like to move off of PS3 to PC since the game seems pretty dead on PS3.
>>119041335
Perfect!
>vanilla Dark Souls 2 is still 39.99 on steam
Sheesh
>>119046676
Gamersgate seems legit as they come. Kind of like a smaller GOG.
>>119043954

Please, how do I git gud. I start with the bandit class for the low caster stats, and grab the halberd as my first real weapon, but I'm getting pummeled at every turn. I can't dodge for shit, even though I had no issues with that in DS1. What's happening /vg/?
Obviously everything in DaS3 won't be in the network test, but what do you really hope is in so you can try it out?
Like greataxes or something.
>>119047554
good greathammer movesets i.e kirkhammer from bloodborne
>>119047551
>I can't dodge for shit
you gotta level adp to get those sweet sweet i-frames
>>119047554
More armors that arent impossibly heavy or overly huge.
>>119047551
>I start with the bandit class
You have the fewest iframes it's possible to have in the game. Bandit starts with like 6. You can avoid most attacks, but you've gotta have that shit down.
Best to just level ADP.
>get summoned by a cheater
>even cheaters need summons
Is vanilla das2 more active online than scholar or something?
>>119048235
HHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I'm going to play some Demon souls, maybe I'll beat it.
Wish me luck
I FUCKING HATE BED OF CHAOS
Even knowing how to beat it easily doesn't help with getting to its heart, its pure fucking luck whether or not it decides to start a flame attack while your in mid air and knock you into the pit
How the fuck did this boss ever get past QC?
>>119048605
Absolutely not, the last time I compared their Steam stats there were like 10x more people playing SotFS than vanilla DS2. PtDE is almost as active as Scholar but since the matchmaking is ass you never see anybody until some faggot invariably invades you in Anor Londo.
>>119044741
Not really.
Facestabs still happen often
It's the same as before, except they gave you armor which makes you immune to it.
>>119049546
That explains why the game is STILL FUCKING FULL PRICE FUCK
>>119049290
If you get around SL50 lemme know. I'm on my first character and I'm at the final boss. I came into the DeS game too late for any online action.
>>119049736
I'm only 29 and no where near the end.
Whenever I hit that point though I'll post in the thread, hopfully you'll see it.
What does Ciaran's butt smell like?
>>119049991
"I'm always here."
>>119040094
>>119040831
Charge attack stun into visceral attack up the ass was literally the one good change Bloodborne made to Souls combat. Wish they'd have kept it for DaS3.
>>119044107
Depends. If you do all the optional bosses before killing all the Great Souls and properly explore all the regions, there's a pretty good chance you're gonna go over 1M before going to Drangleic. But if you don't, you're generally at this level >>119045675
For DS2 pvp, I need advice on a fourth ring. Using a Loyce Greatsword + Varangian small shield.
Rob+2 flynn and chlo. +2. Asides from Third dragon ring, what else could I benefit from?
>>119049290
Endure the frustrating bits, because overall the game is fun as hell.
>>119049415
>How the fuck did this boss ever get past QC?
Deadlines man. Bed of Chaos was originally going to be a real boss not a puzzle boss (there are unused assets for it as an actual boss.) Most likely they realized they weren't going to get it done in time, came up with a quick solution and couldn't finish it in time to do any fine tuning so out the door it went.
>>119049676
Facestabs happen, but they are easy to avoid. The thing is, all you need to do is to roll away a little before they start backstab punch. On their screen, you should take lag into account. So as long as you can predict when your opponent is fishing (which is very easy in random duels) you can escape them.
>>119040831
dat true.
Anyone have the webm of the soul sword for DaS3?
>>119049687
>That explains why the game is STILL FUCKING FULL PRICE FUCK
It's probably full price because they don't want new players to go with the DX9 version to save some money. Presumably the only reason it's still up at all is that they don't want to lose the sales of people who want to play on a toaster.
>>119051258
Just like Dark Souls 1.
>>119051183
That still doesn't excuse the spammy cheapness of it
Surely it wouldn't have been that difficult to alter its AI so it doesn't hit when you get to the log
I've got there six times now, four of those times it started an attack that's hit my when I land and the other two times it instantly flame pillar that was impossible to avoid on the really small area you have to maneuver
Even if they didn't want to do that they could have easily put a bonfire before the boss fog so i don't have to either run all the way from Queelag's sister or run through the lava past the half dragon things every time I get killed by bullshit
Pyromancer is starting with 12 res
if i change it to 1 and redistribute the remaining 11 points into other stats, will watchdog see it?
>>119051604
Do you have to cheat?
>>119051701
Yes
>>119050901
>Loyce GS
Ew.
Try ring of the living.
>>119051419
Yep, but you have around extra 20 frames to dodge backstab, which amounts to a lot.
>>119051351
>>119051920
Muh dick. Definitely making an int build.
>>119051920
I actually don't like how defined the blade is.
Most Soul Sorceries, especially the ones in Des and Das1 are basically a collection of swirling energy vaguely wrested into a desired shape. DS3's Soul Greatsword is so well shaped, it looks odd to me.
>>119051920
i love how it's a magic version of the MGS now instead of like just this blue flame
>>119051920
Never noticed but things that stick all the way up to the camera look way longer than they are
>Estus represents sperm
Is this canon?
>>119052321
Think of it like the blade of the Moonlight sword from Demon's Souls, which was basically just energy.
>>119052619It's just a theory
>>119051586
It doesn't excuse it but it explains it,
>>119050645
>literally the one good change Bloodborne made
The full list of changes BB made for better is far higher than the clusterfuck of a shit game DS2.
>>119053315
list them
Holy shit, I'm using magic for the first time in Demon Souls, holy shit is it strong.
Is it this good in all the Souls game?
I'm finding trouble thinking of a reason to have been using melee this whole time
>>119053964
1. 30 fps for the true cinematic experience
It's all that matters
>>119054192
Magic makes the game boring.
You're just pressing R1 from a safe distance.
>>119054272
Yeah but my melee is doing no fucking damage, I got no choice.
I just fought Flamelurker, with a quality +2 board sword.
Did like zero fucking damage.
>>119054427
Because quality is garbage.
Get a crushing knight sword.
>>119054427
Quality +2 long sword*
So I'm certain I have all the requirements for the Knight's Honor achievement in Dark Souls 1 but it isn't popping. On Steam. Any ideas?
>>119054917
You're missing some weapon.
>>119050901
Bump
>>119053964
>charged r2s with followup attacks
>unique running r1, r2 and backstep r1, r2
>unique transformation and post-transformation attacks which can be used for baiting

>better movesets on every types of weapons, even greathammer is fast as fuck and can be devastating if used correctly
>well-though elemental and physical resist system for almost all enemies, weapons can be fine-tuned to increase only one type of damage to insane proportions (steak driver with charge gems, rifle spear with thrusting gems, wheel with arcane or blunt gems, tonitrus with nourishing gems, etc)
>special properties on weapons like serrated and blessed (which were present in ds1 but only here made truly valuable, especially serrated which is a 20% damage boost against beasts)
>strong as fuck consumables, there's no useless items, stuff like beast blood pellets or shaman blade are extremely powerful if used right
>can only carry 1 vial of special healing items so you can't stack blood of adella which is pretty much an elizabeth's mushroom of the game
>coop matchmaking between any level with stat scaling depending on host's level
>invasions have an invasion level cap, you won't invade a BL500 with BL30 character
>invasion item can be bought in very beginning and is infinite, no SM, easiest ganks in series
The only good thing from DS2 that BB lacks is respec option. In every single BB is just better, and that includes pvp as well which is although not as deep as ds1 pvp, not a laggy overly "balanced" snoozefest of the second game.
>>119054973
I've checked the list against what I've got twice now.
>>119055526
You were online when you collected the last one?
>>119051586
IIRC there's a hidden bonfire nearby.
>>119052619
>waaaaahhh area transitions
>hawk is stupid!! not like muh bat demons1!!1!
>no mention of the raven
I still don't understand.
>>119052321
I'm conflicted.
I get where you're coming from and I liked how the old versions looked like a big chunk of magic you forced into shape, but the neatness of the new one gives you that "I know exactly what I'm doing here" vibe from the character.
I guess I'll just have tolike them both.
How many times do I gotta run to kill this Red Eye Knight for his sword?
Fuck
>>119054917
Steam can be dumb like that, you'll likely just have to make another boss weapon.
The last thing I needed to platinum DaS2 was the sorcery trophy and it didn't pop up until I'd gotten soul vortex from Tseldora a second time.
>>119056450
if you mean the knight sword, you just get one in 1-4
if you mean the claymore, you can just buy one in 1-2
wouldn't bother farming them
>>119056915
I don't have 1-4 unlocked yet.
It says the red eye knight drops it in 1-1, killed him like three times and nothing.
It's such a pain to get to him, even with the short cut
>>119057084
Why would a spear knight drop a sword? Don't bother.
>>119057446
That's what I was thinking when I read his posts.
>>119055683
Yep.
>>119056481
Is there any way to make CE do this for me?
>>119057446
>>119057658
But the wiki said he does.

>>119057783
Doesn't the 1HR2 do a spinny stab?
Who else is excited for proper mail shirt?
>>119057697
Probably, you'll just have to turn a random small soul into a boss soul, or perhaps just add one into your inventory. I don't really fuck around with CE so I can't tell you the specifics.
>>119057848
The 2HR2 does the dance.
>>119057848
I was using it 2H because I don't really like shields.
I did it!Fucking finally
Anyone willing to help out with the Capra Demon? I'm outside its fog gate, level 18.
Where do you fucks go to do some ravelording? I'm not getting shit anywhere.
anyone killed lud and zallen ng+7? any tips? i cant put up with this bullshit.
>>119058747
But of course it couldn't let me without one finally unavoidable AOE attack
>>119058829
On PS3, I forgot to say.
>>119058893
I only ever get gravelorded in the area just after Quelaag anymore, but since I rarely go past NG it doesn't really affect me anyways. There might be more gravelording in later stages of the game, but I haven't really seen it.
That's one of those covenants that just didn't age well as people moved on.
>>119058893
township SL110~125
>>119054917
This guy again. Success! In case any one else is having the same problem, I got it to pop after restarting the game then dropping a bunch of the needed items and picking them back up. Probably just the dropping and picking up would do it though.
in Das1 is dual wielding weapons viable at all, like it is in ds2 due to powerstance?
>>119059585
don't the off-hand weapons not behave normally in DS1?
I never did dual wielding for some reason in DS1 even though I do it whenever possible in games
Man, those details.

What are the odds that everything bad that happened in Dark Souls is Gwyn's fault?
>>119063329
Beat him on the first try because I sat behind a pillar just learned his patterns.
>>119064550
It was Seath's fault for being an emo jealous nigger.

Ancient witch with power beyond the ken of mortals or not, no one is ready for a dick in their pooper
>>119064956

Spin-off where you play as Gwyn in his prime during the war when?
>>119065298
Gathering game for mobile platforms where you play as the lords who found souls in the flame and kill dragons then suck up their remnants to level up
Nito's miasma summons cartoony zombies
The Witch of Izalith's daughters are all super 'kawaii'
Gwyn's knights all follow like pikmin and as you level up you get more and eventually so many that it lags your device because no programmed knight cap
Seath gets bigger and bigger as you level up
>>119065663
I think youre on to something. . .
Do you think the DaS3 test will be reverse engineered like the DaS2 one was?
>>119065764
don't forget the mandatory micro-transactions
>>119065784
Probably not since the graphics aren't much different from Bloodborne and the ones you could play at events all ran on consoles.
How to get network test code?
>>119065972
I mean, with the icons, text files, sprite sheets pulled directly from it.
>>119066003
You have to had signed up first, and then it would be sent to your e-mail, if you were accepted.
Should I do Gutter, Grave of Saints, or go back to the area in Shaded Woods that I ran like a bitch from earlier when I saw a giant basilisk and it triggered my PTSD from my first time in the Depths?
>>119066184
That doesn't tell me how to get one.
Who has spare codes?
>>119052321

Can some one help me with the belfry gargoyles on PC? this whole game is gang bang

yes it did. You had to sign up. How do you not get that?
>>119066180
>TWoP is a hex now
>>119066716
Are you stupid?
That tells me how I could have gotten one, not how to get one now.
It's quite plausible that somebody has a spare code to give or sell, but it is impossible for me to still get one from the developers.

>>119067806
>giving a shit about scaling in ds2
just make it magic or dark and slap robflynn on top
>>119067806
In DaS1 terms, that's D+/E-. 15% dex scaling. That's +30 AR from 99 DEX. Worthless.
Whats the best place to get summoned around SL60 in dark souls 2?
>>119067956
kek
>>119059585
not really, largely sucks because you don't have access to the full moveset of your offhand weapon. you only have a parry/block and a weak attack.
offhand thrusting swords make good parrying weapons due to decent active frames and few recovery frames. poke also comes in handy
curved swords have a fancy parry animation but have a lot of recovery
offhand spear gives you a decent ranged poke but is useless to block with
whips have a somewhat useful attack that can punish people and they can also parry. they're useful for building up critical effects like poison or bleed
can't think of anything else remotely useful. try dual thrusting swords though
>>119068040
it's your soul memory that matters. not your sl.
>>119068013
Jesus fuck i hope we will see a good phys scaling in ds3 again.
At least it was god-tier in BB and Miyazaki seems to understand its importance.
>>119067956
Would I get the same if I just infused with fire + flame weapon?
>>119060205
Okay so that looks just like Ciaran's armor and the dark silver tracer / gold tracer right??
>>119068302
Scaling meant nothing compared to gems
>>119059585
>implying ds2 dual wielding is viable
left hand weapon gets -20% attack power debuff
there's no reliable l1-r1 combinations at all
shit is worthless with a few exceptions
Should I swap out my long sword with something else?
I'm in dukes archives right now and my 10+ longsword that I've been carrying since the burg just isn't cutting it anymore
maybe it's for the best that this monstrosity never made it to the full game
>>119068607
Makes me sad, man. The network test was so fun.
>>119068457
Flame weapon is weaker than dark weapon from what i remember but you can certainly go for it.
>>119068302
I took a look at the bloodborne character creator and it looks exactly the same as the scaling system in Dark Souls 2.
No base weapon damage scaling multiplier.
>>119068606
longsword is great and should be able to see you through the entire game
you could invest in more dex/str for scaling damage, keep in mind that you get a 1.5x bonus to str when you're twohanding
or you could invest in a buff like crystal magic weapon or sunlight blade for more damage
>>119068848
Bloodborne has gems system which allows you to go for retarded scaling bonuses.
Base LHB's damage is 200, but it has an A/A scaling so on 50/50 STR/SKL it gets around 1000AR total with top tier 27.2% gems.
>>119060886
Yeah we shouldn't do it like that.
You should have to unlock the running skill first before you can unlock rolling.
>>119068493
And gems without scaling means even less.
Reiterpallach on my twink only has like 300 AR with top gems while rocking with base stats. 550-600 on full SKL build.
>>119068926
Nope, no buffs
Pure knight playthrough, no magic of any kind
Does the scaling get better when it starts to move toward +15
I have about 30 strength and dex and it just isn't killing shit fast enough
>>119067956
I'm clueless, but doesn't Flynn's ring lose it's potency on elemental weapons?
Or am I thinking of something else?
>>119068716
everything was hilariously broken
shortsword infinite 1hr1 stunlock
broken stun animations online
black phantoms that were like NG++++++ enemies
witching urns that you could throw gigantic distances around corners
no one knowing what agility did, so everyone got hit by soul spear
unstoppable war zwei meta
>>119069247
no, flynns adds the full bonus to element weapons, it's ring of blades that doesn't
flynn's doesn't work on critical attacks or ranged weapons though
>>119068607
Jesus christ that looks fucking awful
>>119069247
>Flynn's ring lose it's potency on elemental weapons
Nope, you will get full 50 AR +35 from RoB+2 instead of 50.
DS2 scaling is pathetic and even more broken thanks to the rings.
Also you can experiment with using raw weapons, everything is better than dumping 40 to combat stat that won't give you any returns.
>>119069162
yeah, you should see a good increase in damage. stats tend to softcap at about 40 so put dex up and keep str at 30 because you can get the 2h bonus with it. if you're really looking for a change then try a greatsword like claymore or bastard sword. good damage and they'll make full use of your str and dex. alternatively there's ultragreatswords like the zweihander or the greatsword that'll do a ton of damage and still make full use of your stats.
>>119067064
patches?
>>119066180
im going to mod this into das nau
Man I've always played either fast weapon characters or mages, but I'm a good chunk of the way through DaS2 with an ultra greatsword STR and having a blast. I really didn't expect a big slow weapon to be this much fun.
>>119069162
The actual stat scaling doesn't increase with weapon upgrades in DaS1.
Scaling does get a bonus based off base weapon damage, so your upgrades will increase your scaling.
Why do people find Artorias difficult? I'm pretty terrible at the game and I've killed him twice with no deaths of my own.
>>119044076
I'm still waiting on a goddamn email too. This suffering.
>>119066180
What they did to DS2 really fucking pains me.
I hate Bamco for being jews, i hate Shibuya for trying to make a huge openworld from ds2 and i hate Tanimura for removing those features that were already playable like pyromancies being a magic school or magical aiming and hilariously half-assed balance patches after release.
From what i remember there was supposed to be a spell which allowed you to convert INT into DEX for a limited time, this alone could've been absolutely awesome for build diversity.
Instead everything fun was nerfed into oblivion, DS2 has worst magic in the entire series now and the only top tier weapons are no fun longsword and estoc.
>Thank you for applying.
>Unfortunately, you were not selected for the test.Anyone got any extras?
>>119069829
I only found him difficult when I was being overly aggressive
>>119069968
Why would anybody in their right mind use a spell that changes int to dex when they could just make an int/dex build?
And yeah, DaS2 magic is the 'worst', in that you can't make OHKO builds as easily
>>119068716
>The network test was so fun.
I had an invader who thought he was in co-op for some reason, and I decided to just let him follow me around wondering why he couldn't attack the enemies. It was kind of amusing. I think he fell off a cliff or something.
>>119070232
Souls magic should either:
-have a good tracking but mediocre damage
-have no tracking but huge damage
to be balanced.
DeS magic had both retarded tracking on most spammable spells and insane damage.
DS1 greatly reduced spell tracking but kept the damage so it was balanced, especially in pvp, anyone crying about mages in DS1 is a horrible scrub of the highest caliber, especially in 2015.
DS2 magic has nor damage nor tracking on top of ability to stack elemental resists to easily negate 30-40% of damage and use small shields with 100% elemental resistance.
Hell even Bloodborne did magic better, damage was mediocre but tracking on all spells except for like one was superb compared to rest of series.

>>119071098
It only lasts ten seconds, so it's fine, everybody, don't worry. It'll NEVER have any applications
>>119071365
The only application it has it trying to spawnkill you and there's workarounds for it.
Aside from spawnkilling lmao good luck catching anyone but complete retards in.
What are guys the most worried about over DaS3?
Circle jerking aside
>>119071627
Random invasions not working properly for the third game in a row.
>>119071627
I'm worried about dirty foreigners without English speaking skills coming in and shitting the PvP up
Go back to translate and try again

>>119071627
Some shitty pvp gimmick like bell maidens.
I mean, i fucking love BB's pvp, it's much better than shitfest of DS2, but to get instant invasions you need to invade only in Nightmares, everywhere else it's DS1-tier 3-5 minutes between invasion waiting and it was my only gripe with the game.
>>119071549
If they bring it back in 3 it should use the same sounds and animation as one of the heal spellsbut with slightly subtle differences,so that people who think you are healing are enticed to come close and punish it, but soon realize they got tricked when they slow to a crawl. Theyll either have to punish from range or learn the difference between great heal and twop
>>119071905
Tanimura is not bad. He designed DLC and they were great, he worked on STA which was a fairly unique experience even among fromsoft games. Together with Miyazaki he can do something pretty good UNLESS he will be allowed to balance weapons.
>>119071840
I'm on my phone with the fucking autocorrections

wog is a backstab bait in any souls game

the online component.
I want DaS1-style(or better) invading and co-oping. Fortunately, SM isn't coming back.
>>119071627
>What are guys the most worried about over DaS3?
Movement speed seems a little fast, but that might just be an artifact of not having equipment load implemented yet. Otherwise I'm mostly concerned about the environments and bosses being fun, gameplay will ultimately be a Souls game including all the good and bad that comes with that.
>>119071627
That poise won't work again for the second time. I lost so many fights in DaS2 just because poise never worked properly and they gifted you a 2 hit stunlock.
I'm also worried about the mobility. Light rolling looks faster for some reason, which will make the PvE a fucking joke yet again because of excessive i-frames. I never liked i-frames on rolls. Makes it more of a free "get me out of here" tool rather than an actual dodge that you have to time correctly. This isn't a character action game, i-frames should only be allowed when you get up slowly from the floor to avoid infinite stunlocks or bullshit moments.
It has been YEARS and I still can't get over the fact that in a Souls game, it's perfectly fine to roll INTO attack hitboxes because your i-frames will guard you from everything. This is double true for DaS1 and the ninja flip ring, which almost seems like a fucking overpowered joke item.
>>119072535
>2hit stunlock
>two hits
>Stunlock
>>119072535
It's been how the games have worked since...well..their creation. I-frames were absolutely essential in DeS, and a major game mechanic.
If you don't like it, you don't like Souls.
>>119072535
The only thing poise should do it to allow you to tank fast spammy longsword attacks.
Outside of that there should be a hyperarmor system governing everything and nothing more.

It's been like this since Kings Field.
From has no idea how to balance it.
