He is so much easier when you simply learn how to play the game. The main issue with him is how early you meet him in game and just aren't usually at a level where you can compete with the kind of damage he can dish out.

I am currently doing multiple new runs into the burg with low level characters and coming in via the darkroot door. I am finding just the fact I have beat the NG levels a few time has given me experience enough for him not to be as badass as he was when first we met. Though he still can deal extreme amounts of damage to a low level if caught by a good hit.

Dark Souls is neutered simply by the fact of repetition and experience learned.
