I'm new to playing a sampire, but have read a *lot* about the template and how to build and use it - i feel like i must be doing something really wrong, because I've been going to balrons in blackthorns to practice against a high-damage target and they're killing me pretty regularly. I'll get streaks where i mow down 20-30, then i'll get a chain of whiffs against one and end up seeing black and white.
my hp and stam is 123/190, but i take a stam hit sometimes as i have a few leather pieces making it up. running 45hci, dci is on the lower end though (~20 iirc) and my bush and parry arent perfect yet either (102 and 57, goal is 120 and 60), but weapon skill is 120. current resists are 70/63/70/70/70. Still waiting for my swamp dragon to bond, so i'll have a little more damage reduction once that happens.
weapon has demon slayer and all three leeches, dealing out plenty of damage to keep all meters full when i connect.
