I've been getting into the thought of parrying because I really want to improve myself in dark souls 2. I mean, I can do pretty well, but parrying is just one of those things I need to take down people camping beyond giant ass shields like the tower shield or havel's greatshield.
I have been seeing some success yesterday running the buckler shield as I did manage to maybe get 4 successful parries, but I really want to get better at it. Any helpful advice to git gud at PvP parries? Btw, I know about the backsteb to parry trick and the parry on the 2nd swing trick, but I'm just looking for advice for timing the parry or what I should use to parry with. Thanks.

There are more advanced methods I've learned but the most successful that I know of is to backstep parry or to throw out a jumping attack, miss intentionally then parry.
