Some guy went delving deep deep into it; Poise does do SOMETHING, but it does not do what it did in Dark Souls 1 and is thus pretty much useless.Raggedstar said:According to a recent release from Fromsoft, poise is working "as intended" and "works differently" (without explanation). So no, no fixing because the devs don't think it's broken.Potjeslatinist said:It runs fine on my machine (GTX 970), but poise was kinda broken last time I played. Don't know if it's fixed yet.
It gives you extra roll invulnerability frames, so yeah, it's useless, there's always better things to focus on.
