Dark Souls

[Marth]

Actually Jason does have a point, you could just be doing it wrong. I was for a very long time. Experiment with a bunch of different shields though, get as many as you can, I personally favor bigger shields because I feel they parry easier. Maybe they don't, and it's just a placebo effect...but it just seems to work for me. Also the only backstabs I ever got were from parrying...just saying. I found it personally impossible to do it normally, so that's just that. I sucked at it, so I generally ignored the concept and focused on a blend of a melee rush and then spells to distance myself to heal while still getting some damage in.


Also all of the spells you find in the Abyss are godly for invasions.
