Improve the speed of swings, blocks? (2h)

[Lordgoat]

I always feel that I'm slower than my opponent, almost all the time. After a swing, it takes much time to block, I always get hit. I have a Nodachi, with 75 wpf and 15 agi.
Which skill effects the combat speed the most?

[IG_Saint]

wpf, get more of it. And check your ping. If it's above 120 or so, well, good luck . And you probably just need more experience. Have a look at the video in my sig and watch how fast I counter attack after blocking. That's how fast you should be (with about 50 wpf more).

[Lordgoat]

So you say i have enough agility, and I need only more wpf?

LOL @ the guy getting butthurt and ban-polling, then facehugging at duel start and getting owned even harder.

21 str, 18 agi or 18 str, 21 agi at lvl30/31 is what I recommend. It's just preference whether you want speed or str. Go 18/18, then decide what you need more of. This is for a melee heavy hybrid, if you want to take archery or throwing you'll need to look into it some more for the optimum PD/PT for your gear. I suggest you use: http://infinitum.dyndns.org/crpg/calc.htm for planning your chars.

@ cmpxchg8b I don't think the guy was serious about it. I sure didn't care.

Thanks for the answer!

Yeah, I figured. Else he'd be banned already.

Flamberge is buggy anyway can hit so quickly with it if you turn into swing, even point blank range. I think its something to do with it not bouncing at odd angles like normal weapons would, especially long ones.

its less OP now with only one 2h animation, but its still a dodgy annoying weapon both to use and fight against now because of the unpredictable reach. needs a rethink or a deletion imo.

loool, when i read the quote i thought... he actually said this?

Weapon speed plays a large part in this as well. You really shouldn't have trouble blocking fast enough at 15 agi, unless you are using some maul or something... or you have above 80 ping ;d

[Hirlok]

yep, ping is a bitch for manual blocking, unless you are a true psychic and able to see 0.3 seconds into the future... ;-)  - I totally gave up on 2H and it is even impossible sometimes to get a shield up in time when ping is >200
So if you are usually dead while you still think how to block that attack, ping is the first thing to check...

Hirlok was that you with the smart ass comment yestarday?   "That will teach you to run"

lol - yep. I hate hit-and-run-and-return melee pussies, esp. when they run from a noob-archer with high ping, where running is soooo unnecessary ;-) So I love it when I manage to shoot them while they run.

Looking forward to running you over next time I see you.
