Not really the magic I have a problem with. It's the fact that they like to one-two punch me. Overhead blade swing takes out my entire healthbar in one shot and my entire stamina bar. Or Let's say they do the AoE attack they have and I slip up and get caught in it. As I get up the wanker coasts over to me, picks me up and eats me before I can even recover. Let's not forget the fight that literally lasted 10 seconds in when he opened up with his magic attacks at range. First one smashed into the shield and took my stamina away, second big one knocked me out. I can't dodge them because of the distortion caused by the abyss. Even with the crest shield they're still pricks. But that overhead attack though, seriously caught me off guard. The closer you get to a king, the better, as their melee weakens up close. But he just swung overhead and I missed the roll and died at full health.
