I've checked that and what not. I'm on NG+3 and have the mechanics of stats and their effects on your character down. The one thing I can't figure out is poise. I checked Katanas and they have like the third or so lowest poise dog (20) my main we (dragontooth) has 60. I will stagger them exactly as they stagger me even when their in armor that I know had less than 60 poise because I have that armor as well. I've found that I can get one hit in on them and then stagger them but after that one hit they can move. I however cannot and they get in multiple hits, stopping usually to conserve stam. Sure I can see poise making you stagger for a shorter amount of time but that being said with a weapon only doing 20 poise damage to my now over 144 poise I should be staggered for half a second at best... Once again I'm not to bothered by this, I tend to win regardless unless my Internet slows down (which it does often) But still I'd just like to understand. Anyone else with anything to add please do, Understanding a game mechanic is never a bad thing :)
