cRPG became BounceVille.

[Xant]

Goddammit, I knew there was something fishy going on!

[Thucydides]

I've noticed that even with 9 PS my GLA "bounces" on loomed plate. It does damage but i get weapon stunned like i glanced but i "stagger" the plate dude, i need like 4+ hits to finish him.

Armor vs cut is soo strong

[Xant]

Yep. When people reach 70+ armor it starts doing funny shit. The guy who I was bouncing nonstop on with 5 PS had Lordly Transitional and probably lordly gloves. I didn't bounce if we were both standing in the perfect positions but that's retarded, you're never going to get hits in against anyone who doesn't suck like that. When I did bounce was when doing the usual circling thing that everyone but backpedallers do. Normally I wouldn't bounce on black armor like that, but armor heirlooms seriously fuck the game up. And when I had my 18/21 build, I had some funny bounces on Phyrex as well (73 armor IIRC)... attacks that shouldn't bounce bounced.

Funny, I duelled Phyrex as a lv 20 and I never bounced...

I think Paul's explanation is pretty accurate

[Xant]

Well obviously you won't bounce if you never hit him, duh.

[Leshma]

^this

[Corrado_Decimo]

Well obviously you won't bounce if you never hit him, duh.

obviously you never dueled dezilagel. 

[Leshma]

But I saw him in battle and he's not Phyrex

[Xant]

obviously you never dueled dezilagel. 

I have, why? 

[Siiem]

Xant's problem is that he sucks.

We break tonights game with these shocking news.

[Corrado_Decimo]

I have, why? 

well it's a really good fighter. one of the most troublesome poleaxer around.

[Thucydides]

i think polearm animations means less glances but predictable swings, while 2h animations produce more glances but are cheap as fuck (hilt slash, castor swings, lolstab etc).

[Phyrex]

Armour is OP as hell, especially heirloomed ones.

BaldRider hit me 10 times before I died, 7 of them were bounces, he has a MW elite schimitar. I fear peasants with wooden swords more then people with heirloomed swords now days, they actually manage to do some damage.

[Siiem]

I fear archers, throwers and xbows they all seem to kill me in less hits than anything else.

[Mtemtko]

He is great at mixing up attacks/blocking but at footwork he is just plain suckage, I could outmaneuver and kill him with 4ath/heavy armor+poleaxe, but when I tried to fight in close he is simply too damn fast for me(could stand a chance with 18agi but 12agi just doesnt do it with heavy armor). Imo tor and that risen_gre_dontremembername(when he used a glaive) are much better with polearms.
