Agree to disagree as this has not been my experience as players don’t want to “locked” into an animation and open to counter attack. Many hardcore pvpers agree on many servers I have played on that combos are the sign of an experienced player against other players and would only use them to “flex” on less experienced pvpers.
“Flex” no, dude. I use combos, not full combos, but I do combos against both bad players and good players, and it works pretty good. You just need to understand when to do it and not.
So there is not disagree because I already know how people playing, I play regulary, and people use combos all the times lol.
Wrong again, as I do disagree with you and claim otherwise your point. I do understand combat in this game fully and I have pvped both solo and in “alpha” clans. Nice try though, truly. I have wiped the floor and have seen others also as well do the same with players who try to combo in this game.
Dodge is quicker than the follow up attack on most weapons and the ones that it is not do much less damage anyway. Stagger is a crutch in pvp plain and simple is and has always been.
I think its more of a matter of will your opponent allow you to pull off a combo or not. Many vets will immediately dodge when hit to avoid combo multiplier damage unless they are dedicated on something else. I think we can all agree that it is actually silly not to combo of your opponent allows it.
Just this statement and not understanding how it would be without it. Just makes no sense if you are the one you say you are.
You really do? Then you should understand that without stagger game would be a running party. WAY worse than now. And also no chance at getting up to someone if they start running away.
I dont care about your “alpha” “i wiped the floor” stuff. That could be bs, that could be true. It doesnt matter. I think not many agree with you on this one. Since I see people do combos or does my eyes play me a prank? Seriously.
Many “vets” knows when they have to dodge and when not. Sometimes me myself even take a hit just to give me a chance to give back twice as hard. So both yes and no, people managing their stamina, and with dodging each hit will make you dead pretty much 10 out of 10 times.
I didn’t say players don’t use combos , just risky and unnecessary in a fight and often times ineffective when attempted and again often times result in the player using them being defeated as a result.
And the last paragraph, I would have to say that all depends on how many times you are allowing a hit to land on you.
The only one I do combos is heavy axe and only IF it is advantageous, all the others seem to have pretty immense drawbacks if you attempt it. But again, only if it is the right combo at the right time.
So I will disagree with people that state that experienced/good pvpers don’t use combos. I’ve seen it often. Especially since animation cancellation got the boot.
I’m also a potato at spear, never liked it and never will XD
