i do both and it makes me feel sluggish but i guess it’s still worth the damage reduction

ALSO why tf can npcs block and parry during attacks? how is this fair

definitely worth the reduction if i can remember to do it at all

Biggest problem with it right now is that non-weapons can’t use shields which makes dodging feel much more viable

still trying to figure out the difference between parry and block

Parry = perfect block

Same, I think it would be beneficial if the animation of blocking with your arms was the same speed as blocking with a weapon, since the timing of the animation really thows me off sometimes

it’s probably a skill issue, but I find that parrying isn’t worth the focus it takes except for in boss fights where I’ve memorized the pattern. haven’t ever used it in pvp

just change the block key to f and ill use it all the time lol

I’ve only parried once on accident

no

When I block an attack: I get punished for it
When I parry an attack: I get punished for it

i use both frequently, i think blocking is fine but parrying needs a bit of nerf.

needs to be rebound to a mouse key imo. maybe the backwards mouse key

edit: IF THEY HAD AN ENUM FOR IT

I feel parrying should inflict some kind of stun rather than pushing an enemy back

alright easy solution is middle mouse key. they have an enum for that. please make the block/parry key the middle mouse button

backwards mouse key?
