Enough said.
Nah, joking aside, whenever I play, almost every opponent reads all the feints, can block chambers even, the only real way to kill someone is to out circle-slash spam, or wiggle around if you've got a weapon suitable.
Other way is to group up on an enemy, 4 to 1 usually means that the lone guy is dead.
I think it's getting frustrating, I have to counter-circle around like a maniac, if not, then I get weird insta headhits on me.
Agree, onehanders are quite weird. Even though I use axes, breaking a Huscarl takes a lot, LOT of swings to do, the mentioned 1h can use it to close up on you, then do this circle-spam I talked about.
It's funny how easily they can take out me with over 70hp, with an onehander sword. Mostly in three hits, I've been 2hitted before by onehanded swords.. You just have no time window to attack them, and if my Axe gets stuck in the shield by accident, I'm dead.
And if you break a good player's shield.. all hell breaks loose, because they are good melee fighters even, and will outspeed and outdamage you in close combat.
Thing is, they should be either fast, or powerful. Not both at the same time.
2 hit by swords in medium-heavy gear? That means you get 1-hit by 2H/poles. Most cookie-cutter Kuyak-Danish guys take 5+ hits with my MW KAS and 7 PS. I've no idea how can you die to a 1H in two hits, unless it's a cleaver in the hands of some 9 PS monster or you're one of those funny guys that wear plate armor with straw hats.
They're neither fast nor powerful. Many 2H are comparable in speed, yet much stronger AND longer. And few people use Huscarl's, because it's heavy as my ex, and that's really heavy. Smaller shields are busted by axes in 3-4 hits tops, I actually had my steel buckler one-shotted by a GLA once.
