Currently, sprint attacks are just unpredictable. You can never plan what to do, because you never know if your character will do a sprint attack or not.
Sometimes I did sprint attacks after 0.5 seconds of sprinting, sometimes I can’t do sprint attacks after 5 seconds of sprinting.
That’s why they should make a specific hotkey for the sprintattack. In how it is now, it’s just like you saying, unpredictable.
Also they should make something about the spamming, since so many people using macros now days, and this just went more crazy after the lungeattack update. You should not either be able to roll and do sprint attack right away.
An icon displayed on your HUD when ready for a sprint attack + extra hotkey, yes this sounds good.
Sadly, a lot of the high level PvPers use macros even though they don’t admit it. Especially for:
1h animation cancel
Quick slash after spear poke
Dodge roll
In the past it was for bomb PvP → select throwing axe, cancel takeout animation, throw axe + place bomb. They even had scripts to place follow up bombs to kill a full HP player
Yes, the problem is aswell that the less good players use it aswell, and since they think they good now with it, it’s gonna make them lose so much if they do something about it.
Most people use it now for spearpoke and swap fast to 1h sword, and swapping while dodging so they can start animation cancel right away. Wich is really boring, since u cant hit them in the roll anymore since the i frames are just to long in light roll.
