It might not be you. Do you have Reflect yet? Which magick shield are you using? The Wooden Wall is a POS that doesn't perform perfect blocks unless reinforced to 3 stars, and the Magick Buckler is just as bad. If you can survive the trip, go all the way out to the Greatwall and buy a Knight's Honor from Mathias (available at the start of the game), and upgrade it to 3* as soon as you can.

I ditched all my pawns and went out and fought Goblins and Saurians to teach myself the timing-- and didn't use Prescience because I wanted to learn the timing without that aid so I could use the augment slot for something else.
