mmm this... The DLCs would have to be offensively good. is it better or worse that vit is highly abusable at low SL? from what I've gathered poise and heavy armor were nerfed hard. By the time I was PvPing poise was not worth. Katana worked fine with no fucks given (mostly 0 poise armor) and generally performed better as a lightweight <30% fast roll build. Even with other weapons (straight sword, caestus, and a few great sword setups) poise wasn't worth the benefits offered by flynns and <30% stamina regen combined with high ADP fast-rolls. I've found great swords infinitely more useable with 3's HA system, as an estoc/straight sword counter in particular. I want old-school poise but I guess you're at least half right. Good players can usually get around HA and the poise 3 has does jack fucking shit to counter the STATS (I'm looking at you, endurance...) that it damn well fucking should. At the very least it should break the roll-catch chain one or two hits earlier. "Setup poise" is a good idea but also poorly implemented. cool tech:
