Chamber blocks only
« on: June 03, 2011, 03:12:59 am »

At the moment I am playing using the Kyhber knife with no shield and little armor.  The Kyhber knife's inability to block means I can only chamber block.  has anyone ever tried anything similar?

The thing about knife fights is the loser dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital.

I got a character that's all agi and I run around with a knife, it's pretty funny but can be frustrating since chamber blocking is hard as balls, at least for me.

 :lol: +1 to you!






To the OP: I've done similar things involving rocks on my lawl-thrower. Nothing spells out humiliation than getting chambered and beat down by a guy in peasant gear using rocks. 98% of the time I just die looking like an ass though  :lol:. A knife is easier to chamber with. Rocks in melee mode with 0 wpf is by no means the ideal chamber blocking weapon.
So with PT >10 stones become simple too effective
:lol:

Sounds Like Wallace, although he blocks sometimes. 80% are chambers though.

I used to rock melee with only chambers, before i went invert attack direction, now it is hard to chamber sides since I block the opposite direction I attack... But I control my regular attacks better with invert, so ah well.

it is viable to only chamber, but every held attack is going to rape you.

It's pretty cool to duel cav lancers with a no-block weapon. It makes you learn the good timing of held attacks chamberblocking.

I think you mean linden mate. He was kerin graham (or however you spell that). Crossbow and a Long Dagger...deadly in his hands ;)

I think Nemeth was the first one to do a pure dagger build. He put all his points in agi, athl and wpm and ran around in light armour. He ran so fast and got such a huge speed bonus he killed my horse more than once. And those archers who tried to fight him in melee. Ahhh that was always fun to watch :D
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Linden too. Both were insanely good at chambering, I haven't seen linden in a long time though. Both play a lot less now.

If he's wounded that bad, he's no winner. Well, a Phyrric winner at best.
