What's your opinion on "double slashing"?

By this, I mean when you slash and if you left click straight after, you preform another slash straight away. Which can be very annoying. What's your opinion on double slashing? Do you like/dislike that its in the game? Does it make it harder/easier for players to fight?

 

Double slash is best

 

The true question.

Would you rather that, Shield bash was implemented, and double slash taken away, or vice-versa?

 

Personally, I like where Knight is right now. But what we do need is better Archers. They get killed so quickly when faced with any type of melee. As for double slash, it's fine - the only thing that stops people from just running at each other and clicking randomly is the prospect of being double slashed. 1v1s in tunnels can go on for about 20 seconds without a single hit, because both sides are hopping around.

If you're mad that it kills builders/archers too easily, then that's your problem. Remember - builders build the giant towers that hold out upwards of 5 knights. If they were equal to knights, they would be way too powerful. Archers, on the other hand, really need to get buffed up. Even at long distance, a 1v1 between an Archer and a Knight almost always results in the Knight winning.

 

Double slashing is necessary for knight vs knight combat. Without it, there would be no one-on-one knight fights. All you would have to do is shield against slashes and jabspam afterwards. In fact, since you actually have to LAND the first slash to do it again, the only place you could make a valid point against this is knight vs builder combat (archers die on the first slash, default settings). But in that case builders are supposed to be building, so that matchup doesn't really matter.

@Foremole - If you want archer balance, nerf their range. With that, you can buff arrow speed (max damage still 1.5 or 2 hearts) and give them back the ability to stun (break shield defense) of knights because they won't be able to camp so hard. They have been nerfed and remained weak because people will just camp with them in towers, but by shortening their range catapults are better able to counter their towers and force the enemy team to actually play aggressive or lose their wall.

 

Double slash is a fantastic mechanic and is necessary for both individual and group fights. As Brandon said, it's the only really good way to get around shield (besides bombs) and also the amount of space it covers makes it the only thing that makes taking on groups possible (besides bombs).

 

Double slash is handy at times but can be annoying when theres only 0 units left, I Like the double slash

 

I don't have anything against double slashing I just wanted to know what peoples opinions were, yes I agree with you. As for Archers, I agree completely with you as well. As Archer is the only class I really play, I think they should at least buff them up a bit. Maybe an extra half a heart or a full heart? or able to take their shooting range down a bit (Like what Brandon816 said) and maybe make the archer be able to charge arrows quicker? I don't know.

 

I think discussion about archers is highly off-topic..

Whatever, double slashing is really necessary for the game. It is a bit annoying in a sense that it can't really be blocked by anything, as shield bash was taken away. Usually the second hit fails though, it would be awesome if it wasn't so buggy.

 

Don't tell this to the people of Action! Unlimited

 

the implementation of double slash is really nice because if you execute it correctly you could beat almost anyone. on the other side its pretty op

 

The only problem I have with double slash is that they are random. Most of the time when I go to do my second slash the enemy I'm after has moved too far away (via the knockback on the first slash), for me to hit him again; or neither contact and the jab spammer somehow clashes the slashes and overwhelms me.

 

double slashing is more efficient if you corner the enemy

 

Take it to an archer thread please. I dont want this to become an archer bitch fest.

 

I like it but if your in a tunnel or up against a wall and some one does it your basically dead

 

I'm not sure if it is just my computer but when ever people do the double slash, they Always seem to long sword me.
It can get very annoying since the first hit makes me fly away then it lags and another hit kills me.

 

Yeah that pisses me off so much, I am trying to have a decent 1 on 1 knight fight and they lunge at me like they have commando on modern warfare 2. It's really annoying.

 

Double-slash is necessary.
