Sword clash

Hey, I think this wasn't reported already... So here we are...

The previous build just encourages EVERYONE to jabspam which is the worse thing ever. I was on TTH, and it's really annoying to get your beautiful slashes cancelled because some retard decides to jab you a hundred times. Sheild bashing isn't even enough to slash properly, usually except if you have a PERFECT timing you cannot Bash > Slash someone. So now, jabbing is the master race against other knights or any other classes.

That's why sword clashing (Not sure if it's the proper term) would be awesome. When two knights hits others sword, they'd both cancel others hit, or even stun them a bit.

 

Ick, would lead to two knights constantly stunning each other.

If someone is jabbing you, just shield it. Blocking a jab will stun the jabber. You can either jab back after the block, or get some breathing room and out-range them with slashes.

I feel like most of knight players just forgot what their shield is good for, now suddenly they have to use it and they're upset about it.

 

Slash reks everyone still lol.

We had clashing and it was the most cancerous thing ever.

 

I was on TTH for some time 2 hours ago. I got sheild bashed, still 4 hearts, he started jabspamming and I couldn't do anything.. Tried to jab back but he used his sheild, got stun, he slashed, I got stun and he jabspammed again.
It's really sick.

 

so he basically outplayed you lol

hows that bad

 

Because this doesn't require any skill..

 

The part where you were at the top of your game when both of your wrists were broken, then suddenly everyone can deactivate your mines, and nothing you can amount to is worth that much.

Hit cancelling is a really weird preposition to cancel jab on jab, but at the same time, I'm not really convinced micro stuns are really a good idea with something that is as segmented, fast, and simply weird at hit detection, like jabbing.
(200ms ping masterrace)

As far as slashes go... I'm not jovial about them losing part of their lunge, but I can see it necessary to make jabbing a thing; though, I'm again not convinced about this, landing jabs is kinda crap, and it really messes with the stomping that we've enjoyed since time immemorial, as is the birthright of every archer.

 

no actually you jsut described being rock paper scissored out of your life, im pretty sure he made more effort doing that than you making this thread

 

the person you were fighting reacted to what you did and used it to his advantage, and you're saying that doesn't require skill?
next time, instead of instantly resorting to "omg jab spam" when your magical slash doesn't work, there's this thing called a shield

 

I love how you say this but did you play this build already?...
Everyone gets jabspamming and it's literally impossible to do anything to do against. "Use your sheild!" Yes, of course. when you're getting stun all time. That's so easy.

 

I have and slash reks everything still

 

>asking tester if he played latest build

 

you're trying to use the same tactics while there's a new mechanic in play
think about that for a second
people jab to cancel slashes? then don't fucking run in slashing and get jabbed to death, and actually use your shield

 

Exactly, now everyone is encouraged to jab all time. Instead of smartly slashing, now everyone rapes their left mouse button. Ah, and, keep right button pressed.

 

"smartly slashing"
oh my god no
before this build knight combat was just hiding behind something/backstepping then raping people with a double slash or slash surfing someone until they died
now there's actual skill involved and you're complaining about it

 

Before you was sheild stunning and slashing, jab, quickly retreat and sheild stun and finally jab.
Now it's jabjabjabjab win

 

shields
that is all

 

or you can actually use the shield turtling to your advantage instead of doing it yourself

 

mfw when this whole thread revolves around DatNobby and Asumagic arguing about how people jab spam and how2sheild.
Yeah, jab spamming does cancel out your slashes but meh.
Always have a bomb cooked before going into combat
