General increase in skill on EU1

[Jarlek]

Hilt slash can also be done with polearms and the 2h never glance thing, you obviously havn't been palying 2h recently as we glance off everything that is next to us or behind us or at a forward diagonal to us.

Sigh. I wasn't talking about hitting objects around you. I was talking about the "sweet spot" for damage (where in the animation you hit) is so large for doing full/almost full damage. THAT is the "never-glance"^TM of 2handers.

[Corwin]

You forgot above us.

Hmm, there was a randomer poping up in EU5 with the name of Anonym acting like he's the best player in world and I challanged him on EU3, I have no idea how the autoblockers work etc but he was quite good at blocking and I never saw him before, the attacking however was terrible.

It's Fallen_Cyberhero and he's probably on the peak of his menstruation cyclus.

Basically spamming a 2h while abusing the "never-glance"^TM effect so the enemy can't attack first even though he blocked your first attack.

Go talk with your friend Greifenherz and his glaive, see if he can do it.

[Osiris]

with a shield id rather fight a 2h anyday over a polearm polearm hits me once im pretty much free game

Never said they couldn't. I just said it is BS how 2handers and some high damage polearms can attack so early in their animation and still not bounce. Not as bad with polearms (as you mentioned. Glaive does this a sometimes) but you can do it with every single 2h. It wouldn't be that annying if it wasn't for the fact that 2handers can run around 1handers because of the slow movement speed from shield and the "can't turn while sideswinging your weapon".

[Teeth]

All polearms can do it, just as much as twohanders. I can't run around shielders, cause they turn with me and keep their shield inbetween me and them. Since when can't you turn while sideswinging your weapon? Maybe you should put youre mouse sensitivity up a notch.

Oh then why would he say he can beat everyone if he lost from me in the duel tournament?

I got mouse sensitivity very high. And haven't you noticed? When you do a sideswing and try to turn around your character will not move as fast as your camera (lol at thinking it was mouse sensitivity ^^). Doesn't happen with overhead and stabs. I can't recall this happening on my 2h and polearm alts, though.

happens also on overhead and stabs but turns faster than side swings. still not as fast as the camera.

Yeah. I did some testings and it is as you say, a bit faster turn speed than swings. Which is kinda silly considering they are the attacks that shouldn't be able to turn so fast (ok, maybe the stab). Also confirmed that it is the same for polearms/2handers, but their reach and ability to run in combat (damn shield so heavy!) doesn't really make it such a big issue.

Why are ppl QQ'ing about hiltslashing anyway? O.o Nice to have something to break the pattern. Besides, blocking 2 times isn't that difficult...
