Blanket stab nerf needed

[Phyrex]

With the other 3 attacks that still work at point blank range?
Besides, it doesn't make sense to leave a broken mechanic in just because it counters another broken mechanic. Much better to fix them both.

No, only 1 of those attacks will work, if you do any of the other 2 your opponent will hit you, meaning you can only slash back from 1 direction - turning combat into a face-hugging-strafe-around-in-a-circle-competition.

So what, you will try to 'fix' slashes aswell?

Why not? It's a matter of reducing/zeroing hit damage based on distance and length/blade position of weapon.

Cool, do it ! And also fix polearm stab animations that deal full damage long time after full extension was done.

[Rumblood]

The should make it so that only daggers work at that range. Then kick is useful. Also let 1 handers with no shield punch with a stun component from that close.

Damn if you will do it I will never leave crpg.It means less facehugging dancing and more tactical fighting on distance.Cool.

So, 2h stab is the only thing that makes 2h weapons useable, according to all the good people?

Style baby, style. It is all about the cool factor.

Yet i am strangely effective in battles (and even duels most of the time), without having a stab to use as my attack 99% of the time... What is up with that? I should be utterly crippled, unable to raise a single attack against the godly polearms of great rape and range and stuff without this critical 4th attack direction...

* [ptx] wonders if some people are just too used to ez-moding the general mass/people with higher ping, that is unable to downblock the machinegunning 2h stabs...

[Xant]

Yes. Bow down before the polearms and renounce your false gods.

E: And yes, the 4th attack direction is actually critical vs good people.

[Tears of Destiny]

Nope, your argument is invalid because I can logically assume that you have massive massive mad skills as well as only fighting super high ping people and super crappy new people.

Obviously if you were to actually use a real 2Her that was good at stabbing, you would be in the top five players! Stop handicapping yourself!

[Xant]

The above poster is rightly correct in his assumptions, I would wager.

[Banok]

Also I was dueling phyrex other day, my katana vs his german lightsaber, and every time he stabs - he aims straight at the floor, which looks very stupid since hes stabing the ground near my feet but it very quickly and magically activates a jedi force field SPECIAL attack that pierces my face and is very hard to block.

So not that I'm using this as an excuse... I'm terrible atm and would be owned anyway. But I'm just expanding on the OP of how retarded stab animations are at the moment, even when not 360 degree spin stabbing.

[cmp]

Yeah, because lolstabbing wasn't possible with the previous animation.

[Xant]

It was, but it wasn't instant.
