Compared to being 24/15 for 2+ years. Been 18/27 for 1 week. Same applies from my personal experience with both.

let's say you're facing 2 opponents, the main one you're engaging to the front and a guy with a 1h/shield to the side

if you try to do a switch attack on to the guy to the side, if he is using the stab it is impossible, unless you also use the stab, because the stab is so much faster even than a leftswing

not just for 1h mind, but the instant c-rpg stab is making it pretty darned impossible to fight 1v2 against anyone using stabs

I personally think they should just revert the stabs to how they were in native, but compensate for the difficulty in hitting them by slightly buffing their damage or something similar

You're using a very low armour, so instastab is possible. While wearing decent armour it's only possible when the attacker either has a huge speed bonus or a huge amount of PS and hits your head. Otherwise he will glance even with the new stab. The only thing that is difficult for me is rondel dagger, sometimes I fail to its stab somehow.

Corsair always wears close to no armour.

even when i wear high armour, the 1h stab is extremely hard to block; as an example i have been playing with jackiechan when he has been purposely abusing the long espada eslavona stab as much as possible, and you may disagree, but it seems a lot faster, higher damaging and generally more effective than even a spear support in a 2v1; not to mention a lot longer range (it maintains it's high damage accross the stab, from closest point to furthest), than it really should be.

i'd like to reiterate, i don't just disapprove of 1h instant stab, i don't like the instant stab mechanic in general; i thought crpg was better when stabs were not instant

It's something you get used to. First time when I failed against new stabs I was mad as hell but then I got used to them and they stopped looking that OP to me. Rondel dagger is stupid though.

Also, people that have never played any other weapon class for 2+ years might be considered biased and not see all the different angles here.

I've played every class except for 2h and bows.

I find 1h stab to be in line with the other stabs, they are all equally annoying to face when used right.

[Xant]

The stab still has problems. At times it's too good, at times it bounces for seemingly no reason. Sometimes you can face-stab someone instantly, sometimes a perfectly good stab bounces. Much confuse, very irritate.

Very point.

I've always wondered what makes people sign with their names when it says the name of the poster on the left.

The 1h stab sweetspot was, I think, supposed to be tweaked some more after its performance could be gauged on live servers. The person who did the sweetspot tweaking has been missing for over a month, though.
