Enough is Enough... Nerf The Bec De Corbin or Buff the Danish Greatsword

And polearm rightslash can be made to hit even before the animation, so it looks almost instant.

Is that just turning into it, or is it something else [and if so, how can I exploit this?].

Turning does not seem to have anything to do with it. Most of the times I've done it is when moving in the same direction as my swing. Granted I can't do this reliably. (My point was you can turn all you want won't help you exploit it).

Tor should write a guide about how he does his thang.

Like Siiem said, seems to happen most often when you move left and right slash (right-to-left).

[Phew]

When I was pole I got the insta-swing occasionally. It was cool when it resulted in a kill; makes you feel like a Jedi or something. I always just figured it was packet loss, not some trick.

[Vibe]

hahah, good thread +1

[Cyclopsided]

NA got over the bec a long time ago.
Only spookisland never let the hate go.

Thats amazing, but xant is correct in every one of his posts.

[Xant]

Xant is always correct in every one of his posts.

Only 23.46% of the times.

NA metagame switched from the Bec a long time ago to longer poleaxs and fucking pikes

And judging by those statistics the great swords could use a nerf so there might be more diversity in 2Hs

[Leshma]

Or other swords could use a buff...

Because greatswords aren't worse than top tier polearms in any way. Greatswords have their advantages, poleaxes have their advantages.

There is way more useful polearms than 2H weapons.

Range is the king of this game, after comes speed. Balanced weapons are just ok. Slightly buffing longsword, heavy bastard sword, bastard sword, heavy great sword, dadao and especially twohanded sword could result in more diversity. Bastard swords could be buffed by adding one more slash damage and making them one slot.

Or buff 2H axes and clubs...

And no, Katana shouldn't get another buff. Actually it should be crappy compared to 2H euro swords like Wakizashi is compared to 1H euro swords.

We mostly agree Leshma

Im for sword diveristy too! While having nothing against katanas.
