I felt like the hollows were punishing me pretty hard in the beginning which is why I upgraded to heavier armor. I'm not sure how much was due to getting staggered and how much was just doing a lot of damage.

Once I realized I'm better shieldblocking until I get better at parry it was less than an issue. I still seem to get punished when I miss a parry even with better armor. I guess I should try to do some tests later on to figure out what was happening.
