Help vs Knight Shoulder Barge | Forums

[adamacl22]

Can anyone offer some advice please

When I face another knight if they shoulder barge me i dodge backwards but it still gets me, how can i avoid this please? I don't have issue when playing assasins but the raider and knight i always get caught in it even if i dodge.

Just roll, it's that simple. Doubletab dodge, done. It baffles me to see so many people complain vortex this vortex that when literally all you have to do is double tap the damn dodge button and you're fine.

Are you a ****ing idiot? If your answer to how do you beat those cheesy spam attacks is to drop target and roll away, that's not a ****ing solution. The simple fact is that you'd be in the exact same position as before, figuring out how to beat it. The simple answer is you play those classes or hope the person doesn't abuse it the entire time, or that you can side step into gb, and they don't cancel gb while you're side stepping. So no, there's no solution. I can't believe how you think drop target roll away is an answer, ****ing pleb lord.

That shouldn't be the only effective option, though. And rolling may exhaust you, which would actually put you in a worse situation.

It just came to mind...perhaps canceling the shoulder charge into guard break should be counterable, even in the case of getting caught while dodging. This would help resolve the issue of rolling away being the best defense (which is ridiculous, if you ask me).

yeah being a pres 4 warden who constantly plays dominion, the only time I really land a lot of vortex is if the other player is just not good.

its pretty easy to roll out of the way its a very linear move. also limited on stamina so its not THAT repeatable... but yeah its easy to get a good 3-4 in if the player just lacks practice.

As a rep 3 warden i find it pretty bad game design that someone needs to dodgeroll away and reset the fight to counter such a move. I don't mind the vortex being repeatable but allowing you to cancel into a Gb is a bit to cheese for this game if you ask me.
