Just curious to know what types of weapons that you are arming your bearers with. I have a T4 bearer who will only swing a weapon once, pause, swing a few moments later, etc. That is, he never uses combos. Is this intentional? Maybe he’s bugged? I’ve tried giving him every weapon type that I know of and the result is invariably the same: one swing, pause, repeat sequence.
Yeah, I looked at the PC patch notes for 2.4 and there was specifically a section that dealt with Thralls and weapon combos I forget the exact wording, someone who knows better than me will probably quote the patch notes, but it did seem to address the combo issue. Something about T1s and 2s doing simple combos while 3s and 4s/named Thralls would use more complex combos?
Thralls seem to have problems with their depth perception - they often hit too short and miss their target. Two-handed swords seem to avoid that problem best, as they hit a very large area.
Combos or not, that makes two-handed swords a good choice.
