How to trigger that? Does this depend on the shield you use?

It's a normal parry and riposte animation, nothing different.
You need to equip small/medium/certain types of weapons to parry.
After you parry, use your normal attack( the weak one ) to riposte :D

Parry in PvE is easy, but in PvP you need to parry before an animation, it's hard but after sometime you'll understand.

So i guess it doesn't work with heavy weapons like greatswords and big shields? I know about backstabs anyway, so i kinda knew how to do it but not sure why it wasn't working with my current gear.

It works with everything exept for whips, shield bashes and jump attacks

Small Shields, Medium Shields, Fistst and some other weapons in the left hand can party with l2. Any weapon except whips can riposte and backstab.

Well, i tried many times with various enemies but that riposte animation is not triggering, i guess it also requires a great timing?

Nothing in this game is requires such thing.
Just need more practice.... (on heavy armor for more comfort)..

Same for pvp ... Sl125 + "help me carving" to ask people about training session.

Enemy swings > you hit the parry button and the enemy is stunned > you press the light attack now

Many people hit R1/RT immediately after they hit L1/LT. This causes a normal attack to be queued up instead. Watch your enemy as they react to being parried... during their "BWAAOOH CRAP" period, press the R1 button. Right up on them.
