Is Parrying Detrimental to AO?

by reading/predicting he probably means reacting to the magic circle or whatever other telegraphing is built into the game. Before then, there is no way to tell what the opponent is going to do. The part about quick reflexes also implies that it’s about reaction speed

165

Can you react to a magic blast or projectile coming towards you and perfect block it in time? It seems like Vetex wants reacting to a projectile and perfect blocking it to stay in but he wants other mechanics and skill sets to be used too.

I can depending on certain factors. I’ve seen other people do it very consistently, though, to the point of making some kinds of attacks useless

167

Yes it is lol

I think it makes things more interesting! If you’ve played deepwoken before, you’ll notice it’s combat revolves quite a bit around parrying, which makes it so the combat isnt just hold w, shift lock, spam moves. You need to be thinking more about when to use moves, how to outsmart the enemy and look for openings. It makes things more intense and interesting, which i think is pretty good given PvP is a secondary focus in AO. It would be kinda boring if PvP was simple. thats my opinion anyway

TLDR Stop playing wom

What if the developer intended for the PvP to appeal to “passive players”? It’s almost all about developer intent when it comes to determining whether a mechanic that can be used by every stat build is good for the game or not.
