Nice guide Bart, and additional information Ed.

However, I would question the usefulness of seige bombs in a sustained one on one battle, either against a boss like DH or in PVP. Have you successfully won PVP matches using only seige bombs?

This may not be what Ed was referring to (and it may have been fixed, although I doubt it), it is possible to kill another player in PvP with 2-3 successful siege charges. If you throw the siege charge, and change to a sword (prior to the siege coming in contact with the enemy), the siege charge does more than twice the original damage. You do risk hurting yourself, however against Darkhart you can easily stand behind the fence. Sorry if either glitch has been fixed (which personally I hope is the case with the siege charge).

Now, I don't understand why parry would be "very" effective in PVP. Does it not have the same low chance of blocking a hit as when dealing with NPCs? If this is different, please explain.

In PvP parry is more noticeable. As Ed mentioned, regular enemies don't get as many hits in on you, so parry doesn't come into effect as often. In PvP though the other enemy hits you more often, giving parry more chances to work. I have a single point in parry, yet I tend to block around 5 attacks on average in a PvP (most of which are bladestorms). However outside of PvP I tend to get 1 attack blocked, after numerous enemies have attacked.
