@spraynardtatum: You have any pyromancy? It kills the skele dogs very quickly. Also, keep in mind that the dogs sight range is even smaller than yours down there, especially with a lantern. You can generally start the fight with them on your own terms before they can react, killing them. Even at high SLs, letting those things warm up their attack string is fatal.
On topic, this is a very good article @patrickklepek, especially this paragraph here:
"Dark Souls and Spelunky begin with this design premise: watch and learn. If you don't watch, you're punished. If you don't learn, you're punished. But if you do both, you're rewarded with mastery, and Dark Souls bends to mastery. Not only does it bend, it buckles and breaks, respecting the player's ability to learn its rules."
This tells me you understand what people mean when people like me, who played and beat Dark Souls (and Demon's Souls) when they came out mean when we say the game's not hard. Pay attention, and be rewarded!
