I'm confused on parrying... can you parry normal orcs? I haven't been able to anywhere. I don't really see a use for the knife outside of cutting the rope because anytime i try to "parry" (I'm a dbd player so I would think I'd know timings? Still not that confident in my timing) nothing happens and I get knocked on contact. Is there something I'm missing? Is it just for the stuff they throw?
