Nudge guide

Fingers crossed.

1h stupid OP now. Being able to knock someone down while running at them? Yeah All other classes are fucked.

 I agree you friend

In Australia, nudging is hilariously overpowered.
If you know how to do the attack hold nudge and walk around the stunned enemy, they can never block the hit.
I only have 50 wpf but I am using a Broad Short Sword and I believe all swings, including stab can perform this.
High damage, low speed weapons seem to be more useful now as, if they can indeed hit after a nudge then you simply want to do enormous damage after it.

[Phew]

Yeah, I've been hit with a Military Hammer after a nudge (the fast/easy one), no kick required. And I'm raising my shield the whole time (103 speed shield).

Nudge: not a real problem in 1v1's unless your fighting a really low pinged dude you can match your footwork, but in a gank....makes shielding pointless. Luckily on my main I just maul the little bundle of stickss who you just KNOW are not trying for anything but the nudge. Have fun nudging when your on the ground being kick-mauled repeatedly, exploiters.


Anywho: Nudge is broken, remove it or make the self disable long enough that it's actually not just a win button. Also, having it hardcoded to V is probably giving Mauwits and Jarlek severe hand damage, having to have a finger on V the entire time.

not op in 1v1?

People can just keep trying with no downside while fighting normally, spamming it while attacking. Eventually they land one and fight is over, they'll kick you after hit lands for double stun, then might have time to nudge again after that for triple. Best used with blunt weapon for chance of knockdown too, you just get chainstunned till death.

[Phew]

Duel server is dominated by guys that just tape down their V key. There is no downside to attempting a nudge every 3 seconds, so why not enjoy the free hits when one lands? And I've experienced this combo before:
-Nudged
-Kicked
-Hit, knocked down
-Hit
-Kicked
-Hit, dead

That's 3 free hits with no counter. It reminds me of the stun combos in other games for assassin characters, except you don't have to sneak up on someone to execute them. You just press a button.

Nudge is broken

Sadly it's true. Nudge is broken in both 1 vs 1 and gank situation. It's funny mechanism, but broken. I have no real problem with that since I'm 1h no shield, so in the worst case I'll start making nudge all time like a few others

There's a small window when you can hit someone who is trying to make nudge, but it basicaly force you to spam all the time. 

[Phew]

Before nudge, I used to enjoy fighting Rusty, Maduin, and the top swashbucklers. I could win, but it required concentration and perfect execution. Now I'm just a bug on their windshield, with no prayer of winning the fight (save resorting to nudge myself, but that's not my thing).

Any mechanic that can change a 50/50 fight into a 1/99 fight by pressing one button is a broken mechanic.

Updated nudge guide. I'll just pretend the patch already happened because I'm kinda sick waiting for it.

There is a new thing now. Apparently 2h heroes. They have some random 1h equiped, than they nudge, than they instantly kick and by some magic they have enough time to change their weapon into 2h and overhead you in the face all while you are staggered.....wat?

Nord_Fjell has mastered this, another sore loser who needs to abuse a broken mechanic to be a hero.

He used to be a shitty polearmer, he switched to a 2h hero and he became pro.

ALL HAIL 2H HEROES MASTER RACE

By default, when I see a player abusing something in order to be "good"

I lose all respect for him.
