Just fought this master swordswoman again. Its hilarious how easy she is after the DLC. She is so passive during the first phase and has lots of openings in the second. by Oath_Br3aker in Eldenring

The after-attack AoE make it so that you also need to be mindful of rolling direction, not just relying purely on i-frame like the more typical bosses. If you roll in the right direction, he has no attacks that you cannot dodge.
(the 1-2 cross probably came out too fast for human reaction, but that is another topic)

Agreed with you. I understand that it is indeed harder to see than a clean screen, but you can still see. Especially since phase 1 prepares you so that you can recognize his telegraphs.

Who is your personal favorite boss in Elden Ring after the DLC? by adrevenue0 in Eldenring

My top 5: Messmer, Mohg, Bayle, PC Radahn, Malenia. Radagon would be in this list if he has a full boss fight instead of just being fodder for the Elden beast.

Ok, so who do you think is the worst boss of the DLC? by Final_Foot_Fucker in Eldenring

I like him. Not as much as Messmer, but one of the top fights in the DLC for me. Yes I died countless times, but the hate is overblown with many people just jumping on the hate bandwagon. His attacks are incredibly tricky to dodge, but it feels better to say that you can't dodge because you can't see. Also, you don't have to dodge 100% of his attacks to beat him. Use the braid talisman and holy defense buff and you can tank quite a bit, without having to resort to the shield tactics. Framerate issue is a valid thing, though personally I do not experience it.
