Emergence wrote:I should clarify. Poise is not a problem, but one could argue that the balance to poise is a backstab. With a limited hitbox, one could simply swing large weapons wildly without fear of leaving one's back exposed. That could easily tilt the tenuous balance in favor of the greatswords which is already a grumbled about weapon class. If you decrease the ability of poise to resist certain weapons, I think you would see a decrease in the Giant's/Greatsword combo.
That's true, and then the other side of that is reducing poise slightly brings in higher use of fast weapons that can still stunlock...
I think this whole debate we have just shows how much of a nightmare the devs have trying to balance a game for people as demanding as our community seems to be :|
