I think a poise bar for the player would be beneficial to combat, just so we can keep ourselves aware of how close we are to staggering. It’s happened a few times to me where I’m fighting a boss, they’ll hit me with 3 attacks in row, but I’m staggered by the first one and as a result just have to suck up the other two. I’m aware that a stagger bar wouldn’t exactly stop that from happening, but it would just be nice to be aware of when exactly the player is likely to stagger.

I think that would also make poise potions more relevant. I have tons of them in my inventory and never used any, because I only remember that I have poise when I’m already stunned.
