Lady Maria was epic, I still think bloodborne is the best game Fromsoftware has made. ER good, but bloodborne was better.

Bloodborne might be good but it was Playstation only and 30fps only. Being a PC gamer all my life, I can't imagine playing a full game locked at 30fps.

You can't backstab them I think. Parry is the best way, alternatively dodging into their attacks also helps. Another tip is that you can avoid the ground stomp by just jumping in the air.

Also, when you heal they will almost always do the stabby attack, so best to make sure you are faaaar far away from them

I'm quite sure that call creeps can be back stabbed if you are in the correct (behind) position at the right time. Might be wrong...

There is a small buckler shield you can get that will help a lot with parrying, it has the Buckler Parry skill which has the most parry frames out of all the shields.

Not in his second phase though, he has this tail sweep that can one-shot you, sometimes a double AoE sweep. My plan is to try him again later but just came across another one at Stormveil castle.

1st encounter at Stormveil castle: I was a DNB looter. 2x root breath. Hello Shadows/"hide" on rock above him. He Dead. Me not.

However, that was for my faith/arcane build will se how my flyswatter (str, ubersword) and my other ones do.

You get used to it, so long as the FPS is pretty solid.
 
I have never played Dark Souls. I've played WoW / Diablo, stuff like that.

How much does Elden Ring differ from that, is it something easy to "take up" and enjoy if you've never played something similar?

No, Elden Ring or any of the Dark Souls game are not easy games to just take up. I would recommend watching a couple of videos of a Let's Play before getting it.
