Combat suck ass

[?Leonidas? >> TRADINGSKINS]

engouraging me to help someone, trying to fight a bandit one on one who keeps master striking me and his little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid friend running around him trying to hit me in the back, i hit the first bandit 4x in the head with no helmet and hes still coming, wtf, i have a tier 3 battle longsword max durability and sharpened, why the ♥♥♥♥ is the game encouraging me to get better gear when its still as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless

not to mention "perfect block" gives me no added bonus, i perfect block him and try to be attack to be met with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ master strike

[?Leonidas? >> TRADINGSKINS]

game is litterally begging me to cheat at this point

[.:Viggo:.]

bro do you know how master strike work? after a block you will naturally be in a master strike stance. and if youre fightin mulriple youre best bet is fightin while you walk backwards slightly to one side aswell not to let them behind you. and use some dodgein aswell the ai almost never dodge compared to the first and its a free strike. and holding down the atk gives u a power atk.

[.:Viggo:.]

and the down/thrust atk is also hugely under restimated

Get gut scurb.
Game gives you 90% of combat theory you need.
Up to you to practice and get gut.

For exemple , why dont you use master striking back at him?....Parry - counter?...

i was parrying, countering, but as i attack im getting hit from the side because i have nowhere to walk to

The combat is so easy even without master strike. You just need to use your brain.

If outnumbered , try to force rush the less armored body. Usually gear level = AI level , as the higest AI level tends to do more parry - counters. So cut down ungeared scum first.
If you face 2-3 really armed enemies and you are armored with bathroom cape ... well...RUN :). And come back another day to pay back.

There is also another way.... alchemy....poison.... 1 scratch = death.
At this point you dont need any armor or high tier weapons. Short sword and poison will do the job. Or bow and poison.

You need to focus more on positioning than attacking when youre out numbered, I like to keep everyone im fighting in front of me when possible, usually makes it so i can attack the guy in front of me without worrying about getting hit, dont worry about combos, take your time, after parrying wait a second to do your riposte. If you go to suchdol or devils den you can practice fighting multiple opponents, its not a great spot to fight in because its kind of a cramped space but you can still learn.
