Any point in manual blocking without macros?

[Little Lord Lollipop]

If you're blocking with a long axe you're doing it wrong.

Lol macro blocking, what? how does that even work?

Its really rare to even see a feint macro these days because interupting rythm with nudge/spam/hold/kick is enough

[Vibe]

the only thing macros are used in cRPG is as an excuse for losing

[Osiris]

you literally only have to move your mouse a cm if that to change block no need to shake the screen, just practice it for a couple of mins

Macros are for incompetent little pricks who think it's cool to be the best feint spammer around.

I'd rather say lern2play.

macro feints are not needed, ever. feint spam while looking at the ground is not needed, ever.

patience is needed, and you need a lot of it.

Does manual blocking come naturally or do I have to be very tryhard to get it effectively? I can't play this game 24/7 because of real obligations, so. Can it work or what? Also how long did it take for you guys?

You need to tryhard. I guess it took me about three months to be comfortable with manual blocking at all. Most guys that play this game now have been playing it for years, so don't expect to get as good any time soon.

Once you get the hang of it the fighting is more enjoyable than it is with a shield, so keep trying at least for a while.

This is all interesting info. Also thank you all for downvoting my post. As if you know, I came up with this bullshit. When in reality I was explained just a few days ago on the server by a few people what macroing does. And that's the way i understood it.

I'll make some alt with a long axe, preferrably stay out of blocking range anyway. Thank's for the help and the tips.

OK which fucking pricks are using macros?

Not a baww thread, no complaints at all. Even though it may seems so. I'm genuinely asking, I want to make an alt with polearm loooooong axe. I picked it up as 1 hander shielder the other day and realized how unbelivably easy it is. I got like 4 kills before I died. Ridiculous, anyway. It seems fun I want to try it, but I must manually blocky.

And the question is. Is there any point in manually blocking without macros? It seems that most people do it. I have a QPAD 5k which is a lovely mouse but it's not with macros. Just forward/backwards button which I already use for TS so.

When I watch 2handers and polearmers I see how light-fast they block, and feint. And I really can't do this without macros, when I do block. Move right, left etc. My screen moves too. To these people it doesn't. So. Should I?

You only have to make a tiny move with the mouse to change direction on your attack/block, the screen doesnt have to "move".
 The difference between you and people who can actually play 2h/pole is hours and hours of playing.

So have patience, and get to work. Its not that hard once you "get it".

If you feel like your screen turns too much, try lowering sensitivity and turn acceleration on.

Also thank you all for downvoting my post.

You're welcome. I didn't like your attitude, showed in OP. This: I can not block and feint as fast as others, so it seems they all use macros.
