That happens if you don't have enough stamina.

am i the only one who thinks that trolls have a more precise parry window than every other enemy? Only killed a troll using parrys ONCE, the rest i just used bows.

also is it just me or do trolls kinda look like primitive smurfs?

in conclusion, trolls big stupid poopy head bullies thank you for listening to my rant

edit: also i get lag spikes when i parry way too much to where it seems like the game is just taunting me

Dodge or do a short sprint away as they try to attack instead of trying to parry. Their swing is slow enough to get away from it. Space bar while blocking will dodge roll. Use a spear, they don't like piercing damage. Don't use blunt weapons, they're resistant to those. Kite them with a bow and if you do it right they'll never, ever hit you.

Also remember that one and two star trolls hit harder than the basic version.

Also, from the wiki (I don't know if this has ever been fixed, but could explain your issues):

The unarmed Troll's ground slam attack is bugged and does two instances of damage. The first is the main attack, doing up to 70 damage unmitigated, the second deals 0 damage. This second damage instance allows players to stagger the troll by parrying with any amount of block power, even if the player can't parry all of the damage of the main attack.

Remember in stealth/crouch your damage is like triple. With my Draugr bow, needle arrows and my skill 65 I can take them out in 3 or 2 shots for a zero star

I use trolls as a way to raise bow skill then later on its loxes.

Yeah trolling posts also cause me pain both mentally and physically

U need a buckler at lvl 3 and blocking minimun lvl 10
Their punch attack goes from 70 to 90
With the log goes from 80-90 to 100-110
Before his AoE attack was some hard to parry but was patched to make it easier , with some practice become a piece of lox cake
Because golems , lox and fulings are a little more hard to parry

Most mobs in the game are incredibly easy. I wish the game had a difficulty setting.

I imagine we will get one later, at least hopefully. It would make sense during EA to have things tuned to the easier side so more people can experience more content. Helps find bugs and give more people a feel for more of the game.

I totally agree.

Trolls excell in name and style. I love their derpy faces xD

It seems to be because Trolls aren't as easy to read because their attack animations are so long and you have to get your parry just right. Compound that with multiple attack types and the fact some carry a log and it gets more complicated. Golems are like this as well but to a lesser extent.
Smaller critters for the most part are easier because they have faster animations so as soon as you see it start you can hit parry without worrying about it being too early/too late.
