Hi everyone! as a flamberge user myself(x1 heirloomed) here is my little advice (that works very well for me) for all flamberge user. The point of the flamberge is her unbeatable reach and her high CUT damage. so there the trick yes a not heirloomed flamberge have 46 damage in swing but it is cut so damage suffer a big penality vs armor. So to bypass that there is my advice: aim for the head! always aim for the head, when you swing rigth, when you swing left, when you swing up(for that you are a bit obligated!) and also when you stab. Why? caus the average player qear little armor on head ans also you get a boni with hit on head. Now how can you do that, two way, jump and swing down or not jump and swing up. this is my little advice for flamberge user.

hope this will help you in your game!

i just bought an mw flamberge, and even with my heavy armor and str build, one of my most efficient ways of attacking (especially vs. shiedlers) is this (it's basically jus ta castor ):

Block your opponent as he attacks (we assume you are in a fight here), then left wing while moving to your right (your enemy will follow you), as soon as he blocks your first hit, you sidestep to the left while making a right-swing  (try to facehug him while still getting just enough angle to make your flammy hit) - his short weap will glance off you because of the way you are positioned (he cant react fast enoguh to keep up with your sidestep), but your longer flamberge can get a hit in.

This works vs. a lot of players, and they are always liek "Wtf, how do you do tha twith a flamberge and str build?" - it's nice

Funnily enough i was just telling my guys a similar thing in the duel server the other day - if you right swing move left and if you left swing move right - it hits faster

I'll try what you suggested if I can remember how to perform it correctly (i always forget a lot of things when fighting)

wouldnt it be pretty awesome if these new hit detection physics actually took into account when an arrow hit your weapon?

you could block that crap all day long then, with a bit of luck
