There're very few enemies worth parrying that can't be backstabbed, especially in Dark Souls 1.
Pretty much the only enemies in Dark Souls 1 that I parry are the man-serpents and Gwyn.

But but...parrying is so satisfying though! And it's a pretty useful tool to have, backstab fishing is just too easy in DS1.

I don't think I've ever parried an enemy in DS1 except for Gwyn. It was always faster to just sprint behind them and backstab.

...Never learned how to parry in three games.
The only enemies I ever parried were the silver knights on the way to Ornstein and Smough.
Who needs parrying when you've got great chaos fireballs?

I practiced parrying with the black knights in the kiln, but went back to my great shield anyway.

I don't believe in wiccan sorceries, pagan pyromancies, or heretical miracles. I will never understand how people can enjoy playing as a character that doesn't use magic. I tell myself that one day I'm going to try the greatsword/greatshield thing, but then I see the stats screen and intelligence almost involuntarily goes up every time. I can't stop it.

To top it off, I have at least a thousand hours on Bloodborne, so now I can't play these games any way that doesn't involve a fast weapon + light armor, and I can't remember the last time I used a shield.

Ehh, the only Pyromancy really worth a crap in DS3 is Great Chaos Fireball for its damage and splash, but it takes 3 years to cast, you move slow as balls when casting, and it flies all of 13 feet before plopping on the ground like a Magikarp. But it's pretty cool 4-shotting a boss that was giving you trouble before, if only for the novelty. I never bothered with Sorceries so far and the only Miracle I've bothered with is Lightning Blade, since I have a heavy gem socketed into my primary weapon.

I did an entire playthrough using nothing but Pyromancies shortly after the game came out, and while it was fun at times, it was enough for me to know I don't enjoy the caster playstyle. You can even see me get bored and start playing it like I would a melee character in my fight against SoC. Come to think of it, I should do another one now that I've had the game for a few months instead of a week or two. I have too many playthroughs to finish (like SL1 to NG+7, on NG+3 right now and bored) and not enough motivation :/

See, I'm the exact opposite. Magic has always been so ridiculously strong in Souls games that I can't understand how people enjoy using it. It's strong but finite, so I can't use it on everything. My physical attacks leave a lot to be desired. I watched my brother play one day and was in awe at the damage he was dealing with just basic attacks. Yeah, I had a weapon with decent scaling, but it was a piece of junk to begin with as I had neither the strength nor dexterity to wield anything else decently. It's the way I always play. I can't do it any other way. As a slow, methodical turtle, I didn't care for the combat in Bloodborne that much. I eventually got used to it, but did not enjoy it. I have the reaction time of a sloth. Never used a gun, instead opting for the slow and terrible augur of Ebrietas. Dumped a ton of points into Arcane to use A Call Beyond, was underwhelmed. Ludwig's Holy Blade saw me through to the end. It was so not my thing, though. Ehh, the only Pyromancy really worth a crap in DS3 is Great Chaos Fireball for its damage and splash, but it takes 3 years to cast, you move slow as balls when casting, and it flies all of 13 feet before plopping on the ground like a Magikarp. And I love it. But yeah, it was the only pyromancy I used, come to think of it. I've never used miracles, despite starting the first game as a cleric. Sorcery is a tad ridiculous, Great Heavy Soul Arrow does just about the same amount of damage as a soul spear but at a fraction of the cost. Unless they nerfed that since I stopped playing.

They all had Catarina helms and I hated them.

Black flame? Boulder heave? Youre telling me none of these Pyromancies are worth a damn? Personally I like to make multiple characters in souls games. Usually my go to is a dex/skill build but variety is what make the souls series so fun. My second character in DS3 was a pure pyromancer (was originally going to make a sorceror but found it quite underwhelming in comparison). I'm onto my 3rd character who is going to be a pure strength build focused on the butchers knife. Why wouldnt you experiment and try different weapons/builds in a game like this?

But Armour is resistant to lightning... I think they were roleplayers, or perhaps just fiercely stubborn. They were all dressed identically - all three of them, I was a third summoned phantom. I should check my screenshots, I might have a picture of them.

I'm doing my first Soul Level 1 playthrough of DS3 (and my third playthrough of the game) and I just reached the Dancer and noticed I actually had no clue how to fight this thing. Playing the game in a standard playthrough with usual progression (i.e. killing 3/4 lords of cinder and then being summoned to Lothric to fight her) always left me grossly over-leveled to the point where I could basically tank all of her attacks but for that spin2win combo she does at the start of her second phase.
Now fighting her at SL1 I am to the point where I recognize all the tells for her attacks but because my reflexes are apparently hot fresh garbage I see it coming but fail to dodge or react in time, and basically all of her attacks are an instant one hit kills. So she's killed me at least ten times in a row, usually when I get her to about 1/4 health.
tl;dr I am trash and need to git gud
Aside from me being shit, though, SL1 is a fun way to play DS3. Although I still hate all the garbage gimmick bosses (treeballs, wolnir, deacons, yhorm) SL1 is making me like the rest of DS3 more than I did before because I'm actually paying more attention to the game while I play and not just steamrolling it.

SL1 is pretty fun. I would suggest grabbing the ashes in the Catacombs that let you buy infinite Carthus Rouge, as Bleed fucks quite a few bosses in the mouth, but it's not required. Same goes for getting the Priestess Ring from the shrine maiden after Champion Gundyr, so you can use a raw Astora Straight Sword. It's an upgrade over the Broadsword but again, not required.

Yeah, I just dumped like 50k souls on Carthus Rouge, so I'm all set there. Not sure if I'll go for the raw ASS or not, though, lack of time to play is tempting me just to beat the required bosses and not bother with the optional content.

Even to enemies who resist fire, the sheer burst from Great Chaos Fireball is enough to justify using it over anything else.

Anyone play Dark Souls 3 on PC with keyboard and mouse?
If so, how are the controls, movement, combat, etc.
I found DAI to be not so good with kb&m, I got used to it, but don't want to go through that shite again if I don't have to.
