I'm really bad at the combat in this game apparently. I thought I was getting better, but no. Even on easy, I'm unable to get past the horseman battle with Sir Irwin.

So many of these bosses and enemies now have the ability to stun, to freeze. To send multiple AoE attacks out. To follow you with lightning blasts. etc. I'm just watching my health bar vanish, and no good respites in battle to recoup.

I'm not sure what counters there are for these in combat? It seems too frantic to get any chances to sip potions, and I don't seem to have anything that negates any specific attacks, or can buff against mobility-based attacks.

What am I missing?
