Anyone having this problem with dodging?

[EngineerDoge]

So basically, if I try to dodge and I do it just a little too late and get hit before my character dodges, the animation gets delayed until after the animation of getting hit cycles through and THEN my guy dodges. This posses a problem for me for when I fight enemies that are just bat out of hell crazy when fighting, like the second time you fight Gundyr. My guy dodges after getting hit, and since he attacks in such quick succession, by the time I stop rolling, his halberd is comming down on my head at mock Jesus.

And then I die....

Dark souls 3 has this wonderful action queuing system so if you spam roll while your stunned you'll automatically roll when you recover. Same happens for attacks, parries etc.

Don't forget that it exists at least as far back as the first one.

Well the last 15 times I have died fighting Gundyr, probably around 13 or so times its because of that mechanic. And I'm not spaming rolling, I press the damn button and get hit and THEN roll. :\

I dont' remember it being a problem for me in the other 2 DS games.

Sometimes I roll but too late, so I get hit, but then I don't wanna roll anymore, but then it does and get me killed cause I couldn't wait a little more to really roll when I want.
Isn't an option for that thing? Like the maximum action queue time? Cause I think it's too long. It's ok to queue for 1/3 of a second, but sometimes it queuesfor more than 1/2 of a second and in an action game, that's hell a lot.

It's just something you have to adjust to. You stop thinking about it after a while.

There is a delay between the moment you press the button and the moment the actual dodge happens. Sometimes you can hit dodge buttom 3 times while the attack is coming and before it hits you, but it is already too late.

I think it would be better if the game would be more about reaction and less about knowing the timings, but it is how it is.

[Kinosei]

It's not really ability. If you miss the dodge, ok, but the thing is that after you recover from the hit and would like to odge backwards or wait for the next attack, it dodges like how you would like to do before. It's something that comes out of nowhere, you can't cancel. You just get the miss dodge penalty two times, and you sometimes doesn't have health to deal with it.

Sometimes the dodge happpens even a second after the attemp.

Just dodging before gundyr hit you, if you late dodging then you will dodging later :D .. take it as a bonus

Yeah, a bonus... of course. When you don't wanna dodge anymore cause you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up once, then the game wants you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up twice for no reason.

What I say is the 1 second delayed dodge that happens if you miss it and get hit instead. You won't want the dodge anymore. Why would it be a joke?

Yeah? I don't remember dodging any kind of attack in the other DS games. First time tanky builds don't work for me.
