I can't tell if I'm experiencing apocalyptic levels of skill issue but the orc enemies in the third level are capable of doing 80+ damage through a block, typically instantly flattening me and leaving me with a 90+ second stagger on their first hit. I have no idea what the game is asking of me here.

I have. Tends to work pretty well on regular enemies but for bosses it merely makes a dent and it feels like I either have the option of having my entire poise bar deleted and get a 90+ second stun, or having my entire health bar deleted and dying anyway. If the intent is that you're supposed to oneshot bosses before they can even hit you, I feel like the game might need better explanations as to the how.
