Yeah Ive tried training lots withe trainers, I got buckets of poison, and I've learned lots of combos and know masterstrike, yet I still get creamed most of the time lol, it wouldn't hurt to tone down the difficulty slightly IMO, because it largely makes the combat unplayable. But anyways Devs probably won't agree, they'll say its because I'm not one of these dark souls speedrun Crack twitch style gamers
