Blocking Speed Dependent on Weight

[Weewum]

A half a second difference is frigging massive O_o

lol

I got no problem with current system, but this suggestion is just horrible. You want to not only dumb the game down further but also make heavy weapons weaker, which is not only bad for diversity but combat dynamism in general.

In other words: Fuck no.

0,5 seconds?

8 weight is pretty normal for shields. if you use the steel shield you might as well not attack it will take so long to block

Since shields already have a stat (speed rating) for blocking, I guess they wouldn't be affected by this.

This idea is only fair if more weapons got break block.


I think .05 seconds would be more fair. The fact is everyone can block and fast weapons are very powerful at the moment. A block stun can always bring a long-sword down a notch though.


I like using heavier weapons even heavier 1 handed weapons.

 The fact is if you want us heavy weapon guys to be penalized for realism our damage or a humans inability to block a poleaxe/glaive/big axe/flamberge/billhook/goedendag with a toothpick should be brought into line.


Pick a weapon to get hit with while wearing chain armour irl, long-sword or a voulge??????

no fuckin wai

Advantages:
Less Maulers/Greatsworders/Uberlongweaponkitingblockers
Better balanced short weapons

Less Maulers? 2hers? Polearmers? sounds like someone is getting killed by every-other weapon class but his own. 

If someones good at blocking why should they suffer a penalty because their weapon has more weight? sure Realistically it makes sense but this is a GAME doing something like this would totally f**k up the balance.

And Better balanced short weapons? Oh you mean so you can out swing/spam everyone even more with your short sword?

Nice....very nice..

[IR_Kuoin]

Silly idea, but the best thing would be to remove the "stun block" that we agi. guys have to suffer to Str whores.

[Vodner]

A 0.5 second delay would pretty much guarantee a hit after a feint. There are much better ways of balancing long weapons + high ath vs shorter weapons, such as slightly reducing backpedal speed while attacking, and slightly increasing forward speed while blocking.

Oh no spammer paradise..
..next request 120 speed katana ?

[NuberT]

leftswing of many 1h is already pretty much unblockable with long maul..

The .5 seconds is too much of a delay, but like shields, manually blocking with melee weapons should haev a speed rating.  Only the lightest weapons should be able to block instantaneously (like 100 shield speed or above).  There should be a speed difference in getting your block up if you have a great maul, versus a longsword.
