Poise? What poise?

[Mikamus]

Have made a char using greataxe, have 100 poise, get staggered by rats and dogs. Why Miyazaki, why!?

Your lack of skill is obviously causing it. Seek help from the old gods.

I think it works like in DS3 sadly

[Ahriman]

Yeah, it sucks. I'm not gonna pretend it was perfect in the previous games but it's been complete crap since Dark Souls 3. For defense you're better off wearing light-medium armor with the dragoncrest greatshield talisman because poise itself is useless.

Poise in this game is like the cake from portal 1, as in it is a lie. (fr though the game only has "active poise" so it only kicks in when you're in the middle of some attacks.)

There is no poise, only skills with hyper armor.

[Enderspoons]

Dogs and rats deal way more poise damage than you'd think they do. Try letting yourself get hit by random humanoid fodder enemies for comparison.

Elden Ring's passive poise is still not very good compared to Dark Souls 1 or 2 (and its hyperarmor can't hold a candle to Dark Souls 3's), but it does exist... barely.

IF poise works as it did in DS3 then it only activates on certain weapon attacks.
Welcome to the wave of disappointment of 2016.

Thank you for linking that.

One part of me is thinking, "Oh! That's neat! I'd like to learn more."

And then I'm reminded by dog and rat friend that some attacks have unexpectedly high poise damage and I may never be able to accept their challenge.
