I ditched my knight shield and bought a buckler and became a parry master in one day. Dude couldn't touch me for nothing. now i dont know where to goroll towards his strikes so you can get a hit off
never hit more than once
or stay far back and bait his lunging attack which is easy to dodge and his is left vulnerable, hit him then go far back and repeat

I guess From Software just ran out of idea and said "let's have it release gas that LITERALLY depletes the players health bar and make him too heavy to roll if he doesn't die from it
"
On top of that, they have a grab that looks NOTHING AT ALL like a grab so you're just left looking dumb as they brand you with an already shortened life bar
