Did they change the 2h right swing?

I've been enjoying the increased whiff chance, that's adding depth to combat!

Well me and Phyrex did a little more testing with a kick slash yesterday, it seems for the 2h at least landing the slash (with a right swing) before the person could block was immensely difficult to time (even with his 15/27 build). Hiltslashing was never really an issue, actually what was is the lack of good footwork it required. The "fix" you have applied has not just nerfed the hiltslash, it has broken a lot of unintended tactics (like the aforementioned kickslash). I do want the hiltslashing to be harder, just the fix you applied is wrong, I would recommend a revert so you can a apply a fix which doesn't effect the entire class.

Well, I played again for the first time in few days and I have to say if your intention was to prevent hilt-slashing or double-swings or whatever then you failed in that intent because I managed it. I'm not saying I'm a high tier player or anything in the least, the reason I play with a bastard sword +3 and more often heavy armor is to compensate for my complacency and lack of competitiveness.

It's a game and 85% of the time I'm playing to have fun. On rare occasions I do start raging some and the blood-lust takes over and I think the most ridiculous part of this change is that it doesn't make any sense in my head that swinging in that direction would be slower unless I was left handed.

So, either implement left handed stances or revert the change.

hilt slashing/castor is a non issue because like xant said, when someone does it it's really obvious, it's easy to block as long as you can resist the temptation to try and out-swing it.

edit: why would you nerf 2h anyway, people rarely castor on battle and polearms are better in all ways on battle

I swear i feel it, im swinging a bec around basically the same speed as my MW long and i have 0 wpp in Pole and 150 in 2h, something is fishy, wicked fishy

right hand swing is wrecked thx alot cmp..............

[Leshma]

Well, I've never used right swing much and I wasn't hiltslasher. Left swing was always superior, even tho every fool can block it when it hits usually it hits the head.

Duelists will cry but in battle overhead is your friend. Just learn to spam it and hold it like Cicero used to and you'll do mighty fine.

[Christo]

Gahh, Cicero and his holds.

Hated it. 

[Xant]

meh cicero sucks

I'm such a slowpoke at the forums, but as fast as this happened I noticed it and was always asking everyone but no one had a clue.

At start I just felt like using the left swing instead of the right swing, then I stopped giving a shit. These changes are very easy to feel in the game if you're a regular native player.
