Title: cant swing back -.-
Post by: Torben on September 14, 2011, 05:59:46 pm
so my new build has 142wpf in pole,  and if i use a 90 speed weapon i get spammed by almost everything.  i block one hit,  immediately swing back but my foe will do a swing while i am swinging and hits me first.

cant remember this happening before.  140wpf not enough?

Watch your weight, heavy armors will decrease your wpf.

just improve your timing, unless there hilt slashing you no weapon should be able to completely out spam you ( maybe mw katana but not sure). Just practise attacking as soon as the block hits.

i never get outspammed and i have 0 wm even using the GLB. Stepping into your swings helps tremendously

Step into your moves.  There's a risk of bouncing, if you turn too much, but it's essential for higher tier fighting .

You should be able to prevent spam even if you have 1 wpf with a 90 speed weapon. Either you are getting weapon stunned by much heavier weapons, you aren't attacking soon enough after blocking, or you're getting outfootworked. Turn into your swings, and keep up pace with your opponent, and it shouldn't be difficult at all to prevent spam with 142 wpf and 90 speed.

Use inside swings so you hit faster, that is attack so that your swing rushes to meet your opponents direction of motion, rather than 'chases' them as with an outside swing. If you do an outside swing after a block and your opponent does an inside swing, they will likely hit you first.

Another possibility is you're up against someone with a longer weapon. Watch out especially for 2h stabs as they add a lot of length and may outrange your pole's swing length. If they have a longer weapon, they might step back after you block, out of range of your weapon when you swing, but maintaining their weapon range, scoring a second free hit.

Practice in duel server.

I have 0 wm and 111 wpf, and I don't have any problems with spam, except when facing people who are really good at castoring.

strange stuff.. (guys Torben is no noob so spare yourself the well meant advices..)

check your ping and network.. Thats the only thing I can imagine is disrupting. Perhaps others are on same network as you, u got some spyware shit who knows.

Also, it's weird, but against SOME opponents strange lag happens. Also for the other person. Seems certain pings are not compatible or smth like that.

It could of course also be a slow chamberer like darkfox.. Chambers u all the time with a GLB and u don't really realize it because it's so slow and unusual.

I think this is it.  I usually end my rounds quite well,  but  the night I wrote this  I had one  opponent who kept raping me no matter what I did.

thanks to everyone,  but it just seamed to be a freak incident.

Cheers,  Torben
