Dark Souls 3 poise stat “working as intended”, apparently

As you may recall, poise works very differently in Dark Souls 3 than in previous Dark Souls games.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t put it past from Software to include a totally useless stat then not explain the joke; it seemed to delight in the speculation regarding the totally inactive pendant starting gift in Dark Souls, for example, and it must be said that poise was so dominant in PvP meta in past games that it became a little tiresome.

Dark Souls 3 developer From Software has finally spoken out on the subject of poise.
