To be added to the page if wanted:

Poise works differently from Dark souls, in that stagger defense only works during an action

Being stunned should not be confused with being staggered. Being staggered means you're vulnerable to critical hits.

Despite being able to be stunlocked with high poise, you should still work to increase it as a heavy weapon can stagger you and leave you prone to criticals.

If you want to be a massive jerk, have a dagger in your right hand and use that to stun your opponent and strike a combo with your main weapon.
