And each one of them pwned me big time

Are u that silver swordsman by any chance?

Also did I offend any of your alts?

Each one of them has a name that begins with "P"

Lies.

Also,

tl;dr it's fine.

[Xant]

no, but each one of them is easy to spot due to paul being a my old friend

[Gorath]

Xant:  I do get the whole tl:dr "it's fine" response for the most part... except I would like someone to explain to me their logic for 2hers being less glancing and deadlier at facehug range than the shorter 1hers are?

THAT'S the whole thing I just can't wrap my head around which makes this topic remain in the front of my bitch-list.

Hmmm... what advantages does a shielder have against a good 2her?

Left to right swing almost a guaranteed headshot. Faster weapon speed. Autoblock.

Well, I mean in a 1v1 duel. I feel like shields only lasts for so long, and it slows you down... (I hate putting my shield like huscarl on my back to duel, it obscures my vision... anyone else have that problem?) The faster weapon speed is balanced by the lower damage and the 2h's ability to hiltslash... I do like the left to right swing, though a good 2h should already aim for the head instinctively... To me, it just seems 1h does not have an outright advantage, though, I guess that's how it should be? 2h being dominant melee?

Dunno, as 2h, I always thought shielders were the easiest melee class to fight. Haven't been 2h for a while though.

In duels I believe 2h dominates. But this game isn't balanced on duel game mode.

The greate than 180 degree active arc is a fucking JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far the funniest moments have been:

1) being killed by a over head from my own team mate... while I was standing behind him.
2) Killing my own team mate with an over head while he was standing behind me.
3) Being killed by an over head while I was sneaking up on some one to kick them in the back. They also then killed the guy they were trying to over head... Pretty much 2 kills one shot.

Not possible. Attack always ends when it connects to first enemy/friendly.
