I think that Spirit Ashes are actual easy mode, although I do find that game was perceptively fairly easier than Souls due to how you can always decide to go somewhere else if you hit the block with some boss, in addition to not losing runes (souls) when you fast travel - I do think they should've kept fast travel only from one grace (bonfire) to another to keep it in line with Souls.

I've played Dex build, with Cold Rapier and Holly Mace, until I got Bloodhound's Fang and honestly didn't have (too) much trouble even with Malenia - Mimic Ash is just that good and to be honest, given how big the game is, I didn't feel like being stuck on bosses for prolonged time - I always liked Souls for detailed exploration, and that's what I've focused on in ER as well (155+ hours for 155+ levels).
