Given Dark Souls 3 was pitched as concluding FromSoftware's "Dark" trilogy, it'd make sense for it to work the same. This might seem like a small thing. What's the big deal with a developer changing how a mechanic works in a sequel? Isn't that the point of new games, to mix things up a little bit? The problem is that Dark Souls 3 never communicated poise worked differently.
In Dark Souls 3, players supposedly manipulate poise by equipping armor and rings. The way it describes poise—"the ability to withstand attacks without breaking form"—sounds familiar enough. But in practice, poise doesn't work that way at all.
Even with heavy armor discovered at the end of the game, combined with rings meant to increase poise, enemies can plow right through you. Video courtesy of YouTube user SteamBoy In the weeks after Dark Souls 3 shipped, players puzzled over poise, with most assuming it was a glitch FromSoftware needed to address in a patch.
But patch after patch was issued for the game with no explanation for why poise wasn't working. This proved especially frustrating for players who preferred to run around with heavy armor and weapons; one of the primary benefits of that character build is supposed to be the ability to withstand hits from enemies.
In a game about crafting characters around your playstyle, Dark Souls 3 was misleading people. This sent players on endless sets of wild goose chases, carefully scrutinizing how weapons, armors, and rolls reacted, trying to determine when, where, and how poise much come into play, allowing players to use it.

If I swung while standing still it seemed my chance to follow through increased.
But like I said earlier, there were times when I was getting repeatedly hit but was still able to start, and finish, a slow attack. Now, it's not something that happens consistantly, but when it does.. It IS worthwhile. When I was pvping with the crypt blacksword, I had the alonne knight armor on, and I was able to tank most small weapons during my attack animations of course. Just be sure to use a weapon that does TONS of damage if you're going to trade hits with the opponent, otherwise it's not worth it of course, lol.
Also I wasn't using giant ring; I can only imagine things get better with heavier armor and that thing on. This may just be placebo but I think poise works slightly better since patch. I don't get stunned nearly as often as I did before. If not is there a list that show which weapon slice through walls and which not?
