I've noticed this, and people walking through my trips lately. The animation goes straight through. I'm on xbox, so we still don't even have the update, but my warlord's heavies are definitely comparable to valk's light attacks coming out of a stance change. Add in the fact that even her heavies hit incredibly soft, and she's really annoying to play.
Went back to my valk hoping to get used to it before the patch and have seen most of the troubles you have, i thought it was just bad timing on my part but maybe not.
I also experienced somethig wierd last night fighting light attack spamming peacekeeper, she was ultra aggressive and once she was out of stamina i had vengeance up and as soon as i popped it my character slowed as if i was out of stamina.
This happened multiple times against he same peacekeeper in 3 games.
Never had this happen on on any other character and i have a few renown 2+

one thing that works quite well is to back-dodge into a shield-tackle when they use their charge and then hit them full force while they recover from missing...Originally Posted by Chaos_Model Go to original post
sad thing is: they will knocked back so far, that you need to do a pouncing thrust (forward dodge attack) to even reach them and you can MAYBE get a second light in... so you do what? about 2/3 of a bar in damage after a knockdown ...
apart from that little "trick" i agree. she has a lot of tools, but they just dont work due to being easily avoided.
