I am not using a shield.. I think the idea that you HAVE to use a shield to parry or else you are dead is one of the concepts about this game I strongly dislike. So I have no issues with the fact that I have no "skill" in parry blocking.. because I'm not even trying.. regardless 3 hits from anything in this game shouldn't kill me if I am in top tier gear.
