Warden Parry Problem | Forums

[Vordred]

so i never used to have this problem, but now when ever i parry, they stumble out of range and my follow up attacks miss.

really frustrating, as whats the point of risking the parry if there is no real pay off. heavy will just about reach but they will always be blocked as they are to slow, and the lights just wiff.

What's funny is that the KING of Parry, the LawBringer, has this issue x1000. Literally a PoleAxe class where almost every one of his followups are out of range to actually follow up. I never had this issue with Warden in CBT or OBT, but i'd be willing to bet they did some heavy changes without discussing them in patch notes at all.

Agreed. Glad I'm not the only one suffering from this. It went from a nice bread and butter style in the beta, to now scrambling as each and every option becomes nonviable. Nobushi is impossible. Grab, throw, go for a reguilar attack and they've already recovered, outranged my attack, and are stabbing me with a bleed or heavy.

Guardbreak doesn't work 95% of the time, which is infuriating. I honestly thought it was my own fault, until I was getting it down vs. AI 100%, then I thought it was a hardware issue when I couldn't execute it against players.

I'm sorry but you have zero right to ***** you have a tornado combo that takes 70-80% of the opponents hp your class is more broken in a good way then bad. please play lawbringer and tell us how much warden needs a fix.

wtf? watchu mean with that?

but yeah, the Lawbringer needs a buff ASAP more than any other class in the game.
P.S. He needed that buff since 3 months ago, tho...

what tornado combo?? only way the warden does heavy damage is with the overhead heavy, which is easily avoided

[Umngyr]

i think he means the light-to-shoulder-to-grab-to-light-ad infinitum

that one is extremely annoying as a slow class, since if you dodge out of the charge, he chains it into a grab, and if you don't, you get charged and stabbed. sort of a no-win situation.

[Vordred]

yeah but thats hardly a 80% damage thing, i suppose it is after about 3 mins, as its all light attacks, and well annoying not totally unavoidable

[DaWeirdWAAAGH]

Warden have lowest attack range and pretty low attack speed, but idiotic people still call him OP.
10 shoulder bashes vs noobs / 10

I had this problem myself, then I learned to stop swinging and start guard-breaking. Get a parry? Guard-break it. Doesn't work against Nobushis at range, but for everyone else, you'll slide in and ram them good for a free hit or a throw if you'd prefer. But a lot of parry-into-swings tend to fall short, except for the zone-attack.
