Even people who don't know to block will always block left swing because it is almost always the swing that 1h first do.
It is not about if they will block it all the time. It is about timing. Use the superior swing to fuck up their timing. Hold your swings or abuse the animation to spam the hell out of your opponents. (yes abusing the animation can be a valid tactic since everyone is doing it nowadays) JokeQ and Grellenort are doing this so far I can see. I am also trying to do from time to time as well.
Overhead is pretty bad vs agile opponents,but it is good if you have the target that is moving in predictable direction,if target is slow,standing still or if you are in crowd and don't have much space.
If you can't land your overheads, I'm sorry but you need practice. You should not be missing any of your swings in any circumstances.
Stab is good with broad short sword,side sword,short arming one,but 24 pierce will glance most of the time on armored target.
I don't know if 24 pierce is good enough since I was always more of a fan of thrust swords. But if you are doing it the way you are supposed to do, you should not glance. Never. Try to learn the sweetspots of the animation in case you haven't mastered them yet. I can not say much about this since I never used nordic swords at all. If they are weaker in damage though, you need to compensate it with actively using speed bonus or hit in the head of your opponents. If you don't use thrust attacks at all, you should use a 3 directional sword because you are basically wasting an ability your weapon offers.
Those are old tips,that does't work anymore,everyone blocks left swing and everyone block overhead. While you try the right swing other people with higher speed weapons will hit you first.
I am not great player i admit that,but i didn't have this problems before this new buff of wm and shorter weapons buff.
With 111 wpf, it is true that you might get spammed if you try to use the right swing. Which is why WM is not an uneffective skill despite many people claim it to be. All in all, you should still be able to execute it when you see your opponent is trying to block. If not, then as I said previously learn to abuse the leftswings to spam the spammers.
Now i need to be lvl 31 to get me 18/21 build,also going with no if is bad because you get tw a lot on eu2 or in eu1 if you fight in crowd there is always some genius on horse that want to "help" you and then bump you or some archer that thinks shooting in melee is ok.
That is true sadly
All in all, you give me the impression that you do not use your class and weapon to it's full potential. You say you can not use half of your attack types (right swing and thrust) and the other ones you using are easily getting blocked. You also seem to completely ignore the part where I mentioned feint combinations, which gave me the impression that you only swing - block - swing -block. Which is a big nono for any kind of melee character. Maybe you can start using a different weapon for a while, something in the range of 85-100 reach swords since they usually have better speed. Because the thing with long 1h swords is, they are slower; which makes them more of a group fighting weapons rather than duelling weapons. Or something like Knightly arming would do good if you want to use a longer weapon with better thrust. I don't like Nordich Champion for this reason, but it's definitely not UP if you use swings a lot, with some thrust usage from time to time.
