Peacekeeper light attack too fast for some characters | Forums

[wethebishop]

The PK can spam light attacks faster than some characters can switch guards.

These characters are Shugoki, Raider, Lawbringer, and Nobushi.

Is this intended? I realized something was wrong when I played a PK who only used light attacks when I was the Lawbringer and found that in fact it's not possible to switch guards quickly enough to defend.

It is not technically faster than you can switch. You can block the second light of PK with every hero.

I do agree it is too fast but I just want to get it out there it is not impossible to block like people claim.

There is a video on youtube showing that it is just as difficult to block with Lawbringer as it is with Warden.

Do you mean as Warden with Lawbringer?

why people keep crying for one spesific move all time?

yes it is fast, but have you ever considired what pk pays for it?. No bash of any kind, poor block, no unblockable skills. ok we have deflect hits but no skill what we can use whitout enemy failing first. only way is to try to get hit in and hope he/she dont parry it.

You cannot cry for one spesific move like stab or standard fast attack whitout considering caracters weaknes too.
Every caracter have stong and weakpoints pk stong point is fast attack play around it.

you dont know how frustrating it is to try to get hit in vs warlord or congueror.

But its a practical problem. The hit recovery time, the speed of the second attack, its indicator and the time the attacker needs to get the guard up, does nor really work, because some of the timings overlap. In addition, you would need to know where the second attack will hit, before the first hits you or the indicator pops up.

I agree that it is a problem with the attack being too fast to react to consistently. (I mean, I wrote that it is too fast in my second sentence)

I just wanted to make it clear that it doesn't make a difference which hero you play.
The guard animation being slower is just the animation not the blocking itself.
You will still be able to block the same way with any hero.

I don't know if I worded it badly but what I was trying to say is that there is no difference in blocking the second light with either hero

Good information

A slower guard only effects the first block. Everything after that, is fast enough in theory.

After the first hit, other mechanics' take priority.

Uhm if a PK is spamming light attacks dont just stand there trying to block lol. Definite L2p issue

This kind of assumes that the only thing you do when faced with a Peacekeeper is a) defend and b) only use one defence type.
For example you say Nobushi ... well if you are trying to block Peacekeeper light attacks with a Nobushi you are at the wrong range for a start.
You don't stand toe to toe with a Peacekeeper and trade blows.
You evade roll backwards and use the reach of your spear to your advantage.
Classes are supposed to have these strengths and weaknesses.
If a Peacekeeper is close enough to breathe on you, you are in trouble, but you are also doing it wrong.

The question is not whether it is the right way to play against a PK right now, but whether it is a good idea for a PK to have this kind of advantage when basically everything else in this game is easier to defend against.

So it is right that right now it is bad to sit back trying to block PK light attack spam, but the question is, should it be that way?

As I said, it is not about whether you can play around it but whether the PK should have this advantage or not since it definitely is a low risk move for the PK with a moderate reward.

Just to note, PK is my most played hero and I still think the second light in the chain is too fast.
