Don't worry about it man, you'll get better soon. My advice: get used to rolling. It'll save your life 101 times.

Oh, and one of the most important aspects of fight is WATCH YOUR STAMINA BAR. Not your hp, but your stamina. You don't want to get staggered, or you're in big trouble. If you're up against a heavy character with giant clubs, try to roll to avoid his attacks instead of tanking it, unless you're really strong. If you're low on stamina, put your shield down to recover faster, but get ready to block.

If you have a melee dude and you see a guy with 5 homing soul masses above their head, give it all you got, but it's going to be a really tough fight. Sometimes, sorcery are op.

Good luck, and .....welcome......to Dark Souls.
