I mean, that he could hit, I would block, and I could not hit him back before he hit me again. He was not chambering the 1st attack either.
Ok. Sometimes it happends.
But just look - here is 2 way:
1. Flameberg owner attack you first and here is a chance (depends of luck and skill both (attackers and defenders)) what when attackers land their swing on your katana,
after this he will hit you again earlier than you hit him.
BUT! Here is big difference between words
HIT and
HURT.
He can only hit you. You have not any problem to block this second attack. So, if you are not a new player, you have a 100% chance to block this swing.
And not only this one, but all next too - because of low speed of Flameberg.
2. Second way. You (or not you
) with katana with 104 speed (+probably DEX build= increased speed) (+if DEX build = high WPF = more increased weapon speed)
attacking Flameberg owner first. In this case he even can't counter attack. And Flameberg have not any chance at all to hit you (except chamberblock, but 88 against 104 - it's almost impossible). You always will hit earlier (land you hit) than Flameberg do 50% of their swing.
(added) even chamberblock can be slower than next katana swing.
Question - and who is OP now?
Answer - no one. All have their advantages and disadvantages. One weapon for duels and 1x2 battles. Second for backstabbing. Third - support in big dog-figts... e.t.c.
This is and it is good.
