Well, it's more that the Cane is explicitly a "finesse" weapon that demands a lot of spatial awareness in terms of how you string together attacks. And in the early game the Saw-weapons make things a bit easier because they all do bonus damage to beast-type enemies (which most early bosses are).

I'm not sure what you mean by "placing a limit on the number of parries", but I guess I look at it as not being much different from how weapons in Souls games have various poise-break values. And I think DS2 experimented (for better or worse) a lot with how various things could parry (like Parrying Dagger vs. Target Shield vs. Monastery Scimitar were all really different).
