Yes! Exactly, shadow touch is nice, especially if you end up accidentally getting hit through failed ripostes. Other than that, it does feel MUCH slower because of the lack of the blocking perks on warlock.

Very true!

Yes but no shield mastery :(

I run Melee only Longsword warlock. Ghost and Shadow blade skill things. Has great burst and for pvp, back line pressure. You can ghost through front line and cause chaos.

That woulda been a good idea for sure. I might make a defacto beginner longsword guide sometime soon

@@oggieson Do it, please.

Yeah this is the worst it's ever been actually. Not sure what Ironmace did, but they improved the dsync between players and scuffed the interaction between PvE. Idk how any of it works but I won't lie, I like having more reliable PvP encounters than PvE lol

Gotcha. Gonna be a couple days tho lol

Dammit I always forget lol

This has enlightened me that I am incapable of mastering the longsword but it looks too fun not to try. :)

Hopefully it’s helpful buddy

Hell yeah buddy!

That method definitely works as well. Catches up by the hilt. Gotta make sure you turn enough or it accidentally headshots you sometimes tho lol

Glad it helped buddy

Hopefully it helps

I’ll try this!

I am due for one of these now that they nerfed sprint so hard it's tough to properly build a fighter. I'll have to run some geared HR/Normals stuff and get a better idea of what's working right now. I can at least do that for solos, don't have a trios team anymore but I can theory craft that I suppose

That would be amazing thank you man

I wouldn’t mind this if it was consistent for shields too but as it is the shields also have it hit through cuz of it lol

I feel ya buddy! Most other weapons are big boring

Hmm I don’t think anyone at Ironmace watches these lol. They only have a couple English speakers on the team as it is and one of them is the ceo and he definitely doesn’t watch xD. I think their team is still just a bit too small to catch everything. I also think some of this was rushed out with less polish than usual because of the steam/epic release they pushed for

@@oggieson Perhaps they're too busy with the circumstances -- but they have stated in the last few patches they have an interest in adding skill expression to melee combat so I imagine this is solidly relevant to what they want to accomplish in that regard. If they don't notice it, give 'em a poke. Re: their understanding, I'd say you don't need much english to understand your video :). Worth a shot if it helps the game I'd say. SDF I think is just not as comfortable speaking, I think his understanding is pretty good. Thanks again for getting a lot of my friends into longsword, looking forward to more of the 2000s-era frag videos.

Hmm. Haven’t had this work since they added the dash attacking lower

Hmm. Longsword has a hitbox from the hilt to the the tip. I’ve caught parries from players in every spot on the weapon just because of how long I’ve played xD

Hopefully it’s helpful man

Sorry buddy all you need to do after a block is click your block button again to do the riposte attacks

@@brooksybaby03 there are some reliable PvE parry positions from crouching. I often crouch parry in PvP as well tho it’s never to make the hitbox smaller but to catch enemies attacking low or to change the angle of our combat to allow for the longsword blade angle to benefit my parry attempt with the different spacing crouching provides. Nothing wrong with crouch parrying tho you don’t need it in every fight/against every attack

@@oggieson appreciate it, I will continue to learn when and where this method is amicable.

Oh dude. I’m sorry you dealt with all that man lol. Riposte is right click. You parry an attack and right click again. It’s triggered as a defensive action and is tied to the block button

I’ve been running shield mastery, sword mastery, counter attack, and weapon mastery recently. I will drop counter attack for swift occasionally if I have more than 3 plate pieces on

Yes it speeds up clears immensely. PvE clears are longsword best attribute. Which is kinda sad when you consider how easy pve is really lol. Riposte attacks carry a 1.875 modifier with no sour spot damage on the attacks. The base attack chain is 1.0 1.05 and 1.10 modifiers and have up to a 40% penalty on sour spot damage

@@petrkochan9818 you right click after a parry rather than left clicking

@@oggieson thanks man, you are the goat

Yes. I have an older video showing parrying goblins still as well. No attacks have changed on them. I do need to update the parrying for centipede tho

In normals I’ve been running shield mastery, sword mastery, counter attack, and weapon mastery. This is what I’d likely run with gear as well, possibly swapping out counter attack with defensive expert or barricade depending on my kit for duos. Trios I haven’t played this wipe but likely leaning toward something like the same build for duos. Possibly dropping both counter attack and sword mastery for defense expert and barricade for more survivability in melee as long as I get action speed above 10% through my kit

I'm sorry I forgot when I made the video and when you go back and edit the description it tanks the impressions cuz youtube is a punk. I'll try and add them to a pinned comment but will likely not have time. Sorry!

Lol yeah there's a few people I catch on reddit talking nonsense about things I've actively proven on stream/videos. People don't like to be wrong even when there's proof.

Lol good fight then boys!

It is surprising to see the hit boxes still a mess after this long

Math checks out

Appreciate you translator using fan bro!

@@oggieson seguiré esperando más guías 😁

Yeah it’s not negative bub. Y’all havin a hard time with that still

@@oggieson Unless you went in and changed it to positive, the one I read was negative. I just find it weird to leave a negative review on a game you've played for 100's or 1000's of hours and still are pumping out content for. Just my opinion, you can have yours.

@@hudsonwheat6388 I did change it to positive since some people spamming me made good points about the F2P part of the game being focused on the normals gameplay loop which I enjoy still. I think it’s absolutely ok for people to put negative reviews about games they put hours into. I don’t want ironmace having a buncha yes men telling them the game is great and has no issues when the balance in the game is trash and their ability to balance the game has been trash the entire time. I have ironmace their compliments in the review too about being great at making content and being the best dev team to communicate with the community out there. I still make content since I want to support ironmace as a dev team cuz I think they’re dope for what they gave us in the game but being critical of their balance since it ruins a lot of the fun is where I’m at now with my hours in the game. My KZfaq and twitch make me zero and take up a lotta time, I’m just giving back to the community at this point is the only reason I continue the content Thanks for the comment tho man. Not trying to spam ya with an essay so my bad on the text wall
