-Well, it's long enough that they can hit you, and if they can hit you then they can follow the combo and hit you 3 times, especially if they use a spear or Halberd. Worst is that while using that attack, even if done with a shield, you are technically not blocking, so you receive the full hit.

-Meh, even then. His attacks are very predictable. I had so much heavy armor my "evasion" was literally roll to the side a distance as long as taking a step. And I still was able to evade all his attacks. Though given the stamina cost, I prefered to just block his attacks with a heavy shield so I have enough stamina to attack.

-Dragon Rider was the one you fight in the Flame Tower of whatshername. I think there was a glyph on the ground to summon a spirit to help you right before it.
