Is it me, or does parrying make a lot of encounters trivial

[SirYeastMan]

After learning the blessing that is parrying, i noticed that parrying just everything so much easier. I definitely enjoyed the feeling of absolutely dominating the bosses that had me just seething

Yeah, once you get good at parrying everything becomes a cake walk because your basically invincible

The game is a soulslike, which means it inherits the soulslike problem of having a single dodge/parry button that gives you I-frames which can avoid every attack. I intentionally avoided getting any of the Path of the True Crab skills because I knew it'd make things way too easy and dumb.

Even getting Skedaddle from the Path of the Hermit (or whatever the wizard path on the left side is called) trivializes most enemies and bosses. It's obvious the devs didn't closely consider how all the different parts of Krill's upgrades might work together and what the consequences of giving the player many of them would be.

It's the easy mode (once you know the timing). An optional easy mode.

or they just added way some players can play the game how they want not everyone likes hard challenges or some just want a easier go at things nothing wrong with that

Yeah, it's easy because most enemies give you so much time to react compared to most Souls games. I just started playing Elden Ring and its more difficult for me lol (im probably just spoiled from how cozy the controls are in this game) I still do have trouble Parrying the viper fish looking guys in the unfathom
