I'm sorry. I tried giving this a shot, but I had to skip right to the end to see if there was any change in the 10 episodes I decided to give a miss. There was no change. Your approach never changed. Your strategy never improved. Your learning never advanced. You died in a boss fight without using your Estus once. In the episodes up to this that I watched, you used the limited healing resource of Lifegems before you even considered your Estus, despite the fact that Estus restores in usage between bonfires but Lifegems do not. You go Estus-less against bosses. This was just so painful to watch. I'm sorry you had an awful experience with DS2. But, like... Dark Souls 2 is not like this at all.
Dark Souls 2 is the best dark souls.
You're welcome to enjoy it as your favourite for sure.

In defense of Jordy, Estus is hard to use in 2 because of the adaptability skill being tied to how fast you can actually use it.
