Here are my experiences so far (NG).

1. It's almost impossible to know whether or not you're close enoough to hit them.

2. When you do get close enough to hit them they just grab you and do tremendous damage, or do their AoE attac (and do tremendous damage).

3. I tried hitting them with a Black Knight Greatsword +5. It misses nearly every time, it's slow, and it doesn't seem to do much damage. Gravelord Greatsword +5 is faster but also seems to do next to no damage (when it hits, which is rarely).

4. I tried the 'hit them with a fast weapon' advice, using an Uchigatana +6 (AR 258), augmented with fire; strength 50, dexterity 40, stamina 40, I could hit four times before running out of stamina. I was only doing about 20-50 damage with each hit. Clearly they don't care about fire, and they don't care about slash or thrust damage either.

5. I tried Firestorm with a fully ascended Pyromancy Flame; none of them took any damage at all.

So yeah, not particualrly convinced by the suggestions given so far.
