If your attack glanced on a peasant, it's your fault, you failed at positioning, you swing from wrong angle etc. Yes glancing happens but in 95% of the cases it's your fail. Properly prepared attack won't glance, I play with 1h weapons aswell, so I know how it looks like.
I would almost say more glancing, or something just to prevent the hiltslashing because hiltslashing is pretty crazy right now.
Yeah, number of hitslashing cunts is increasing, but it's not happening due to changes in game mechanics, just more and more players learned how to use this technique. Especially as a shielder you can't do to much against it.
