Simple question on 1h speed

[slickster]

There is a 30sec pause before I actually swing my sword.  What stats do I need to improve so that it's not so predictable?

20 str
15 agi
143 1h wpf

ok, it's only a pause before i swing.  Didn't realize ya'll were so simple

[Belhade]

No...he's right. Your WPF is perfectly good; any noticeable delay in swing will be due to your connection. what's your ping ingame?

[slickster]

30 usually.

Seems like 15 agi is a little low if you want to have hyperfast swigning, but it would only slightly affect speed and you'd really only notice it against other agi builds. Really to be less predictable I think you just want to work on your feinting, footwork, turning and timing, there are numerous tutorials regarding that in the Beginner's Help and Guides forum.

What shield are you using? Some are faster than others

What 1h are you using? Some are faster than others. Are you turning into your swings at all?

You have a fantastic ping.  It all comes down to timing (swinging immediately after a block.) More wpf, and faster items will give you a bigger timing window to counter attack in but it still comes down to timing.  If you're having trouble counter attacking you are hesitating to long after blocking.

Oh and ping is in millaseconds not seconds.

First, it will always be predictable, else... you know.
Second, if you're using a shield, you have more delay than without.
Third, where you noticing this "lag" when duelling, or even when fighting air ?
Fourth, maybe your mouse (computer, overall equipment) is of not-so-good quality and the time the signal "clicking" is sent in game, that many second passed ?
Fifth, maybe it's just a strange feeling, but it's actually as fast as others.

I remember feeling sluggish with my 1h shield in the past, but that was because I sucked a little more than I do now.

If it isn't a connect/hardware issue (which seems possible) you are probably waiting too long to counter-swing.  If you delay even a little bit after your shield is hit someone with a fast weapon is going to be able to spam you. 

Can anyone confirm that the polearm stun effect can apply to shields?  I could swear there have been times I've been hit by a heavy polearm and was unable to counter attack.  That might be causing you problems as well, not sure.
