The rooftop with two bastard sword dudes and the pursuer is worse than frigid outskirts, no stats, no heals, no rolls and plenty of steel swinging towards you constantly.

**** these dudes, especially the bastard sword ones, their idle and running animations make it look like they're struggling to even wield their swords yet somehow the ****s can swing them faster than you can swing a straight sword with no windup, these dudes are shockingly annoying for being what are supposed to be early game baby enemies.

These guys got the tracking and poise damage of boss

Could just be me but I think they are a little more weak to thrust attacks
