The bosses in this game are way too easy. I didn't even realize The Lost Sinner was a major boss because she had the same moves as half the enemies in the game and went down without much trouble. Oddly enough, I thought Dragonrider was the toughest boss but even then I was able to knock him off the platform.

Yes.
Lost Sinner is like the first major boss, of course it's going to be easy. If you thought that the Dragonrider was hard then good luck, you may have a hard time later on.

My toughest "boss" was the 4 toxic rats with Royal Rat Authority.
Could have avoided it if I'd known how godly Santier's Spear 2H dashing R1 attack was at the time. Instead I had to kill them one at a time with my mace because I didn't feel like going back to town and getting the spear ready, respecing, etc.
Hell, even the red phantom fight after gargoyles is harder than almost every boss in the game when you don't have a room-clearing AE attack to rely on.
Drop rate and bonus soul items stack multiplicatively btw. I finished NG on my mundane build character at SL200 because of Tseldora -> Nahr Alma armor and silver covetous ring +2. Not a whole lot to choose from for drop rate items though; Jester Cap + gold ring + prisoner tatters is all you get.

Or you use magic, and down them on the first try while laughing and having your cock slobbed by supermodels.

It's not like DS1, at first I thought you did those 4 major bosses and then you finished the game like Seath, Nito, Chaos and 4Kings. When you killed those 4 primal souls, you're barely half way through the game.
A couple of the lesser bosses are piss easy, no doubt, such as Dragonrider, Flexile Sentry, Skeleton Lords or LGK. But what I had massive trouble with was Smelter Demon, Royal Rat Vanguard (until I realized the boss rat dies to three black Firebombs) and Vendrick.
Vendrick is a particularly frustrating fight because he's completely harmless unless he does the three swing combo, and since he takes forever (I only had 4 giant souls) you're almost bound to make a mistake at some point.

Vendrick is retardedly easy once you know to keep to the rear left of him. His hitboxes are odd and some swings that look like they should hit you don't and the same in reverse. If the soul you are missing is the one from the Ancient Dragon, there is a major weakness in his AI that would led a naked guy with a toothpick beat him. I think I posted it earlier in this thread.

Sentries was really easy for me, got it on 3rd try or so, first try figure out the room and the fact there were 3, 2nd fucked up badly with 2sentries down and 3rd was an easy kill without flask. Didn't dodge shit, just block everything, hit once when it's safe, 10mins fight or whatever but eh. Pursuer took a fucking long time though, I went through various strats until I figured you could parry him. That said it was mostly cause it was early game and I wasn't fully used to the combat again. Later on you fight a random pursuer and I fucked his shit up easy even though I aggroed an add during the fight, without using anything fancy.
