Wait, Gael has more health? It absolutely doesn't feel like it. For comparison, I frequently run out of estus on Midir, and if I'm in co-op, definitely will. Midir is the only boss that I'll skip when replaying, and I've beat every DS like 5 times (though never past NG+2, and then only to grab achievements so I don't usually finish).
It makes sense that a slower weapon like an UGS would have problems with Gael considering he moves around a lot more.
it's because midir has little to none physical absorbtion whereas gael has around 30% so he has high defense stats which reduces the ammount of attack damage you give out.
