For those of you that spam shield dash, ***** slap, shield dash, ***** slap... f u ck you. You have no skill, and in a year or two when ubisoft patches that ****, you're gonna have to find another game to suck at.

Well, the conqueror can't feint attacks, so if he has a slow charge and can't fake attacks, he isn't going to attack at all. As a defender vs conq, the moment you see the red attack indicator, you know you can parry the attack without risk, and the moment you would see a "slow" charge you could dodge it without risk. If his charge became slowed, then he would need some other attack buffed.

I do feel the Warlord charge could use some slowing down (very slightly) due to him having a fantastic toolset of attacks and abilities already, while the Warden needs to lose the cancel on the charge.

For those of you saying "get good" or just dodge it, I am pretty good. This tactic doesn't occur often, but when it does its frustrating. I don't think this spam attack is avoidable, hence why players use it.
It's seems to mainly be the Conqueror, and it usually only happens in corners, where there is no where to dodge.
I have several hours of play with that character and I know how the shield dash works similar to the Warden's, yet it's twice as fast.
Believe me, I'm good enough to adapt to most players tactics in a few minutes, but going against this spam is futile.
It's almost as bad as the Shugoki or Lawbringer doing their charger throw, charge throw, because they don't know how to actually fight.

I don't see any problem with the Conqueror shield bash, you can just dodge it and if you and up against a wall you probably did something wrong.
The attack can be avoided by dodging away (or even sideway in some cases) BUT what might be your problem is that you must NOT mash the dodge button. The timing is not crazy tight but you have to respect it. When you're in the vortex, take a big breath and press the button when the attack comes out. It works for me so there is no reason it doesn't for you.

You can also get out during the 5O/5O try to parry the next attack or tech the GB attempt. It's not easy because you have very little time to make the right decision but it's definitely doable.

If you are pretty good ...then..

1 you dodge charge...

2 you dont get pushed on a walll

3 You parry the slow as hell Heavy attack that come after shield bash needed to continue the boring and useless aganist avarage players combo.

then you are not really good ... or even goood if you get stunlocked by shield bash mixup...

The only way to hit someone is or with a light after a succesfull shield bash or parry ...for a very low damage ... 23 dmg on uncharged heavy ....

I am pretty good.

I find it hilarious how many people feel that way when they come to forums complaining about a specific class/move they have a problem against.
How do you tell how good you are without ANY kind of ranking system in game at this time?

So if i'm not having a problem with any particular class whatsoever as nobushi as I just adjust to the way they play am I some kind of pro or something?

Am sorry but I have to agree that it is EASY to avoid. Some players might trick me by getting 1 or 2 spams in a row, but it is easy to counter, just side step (right or left) light attack or gb.

You can sidestep it on reaction. You can backstep it with some characters. Most attacks will stuff it during its startup. I'm not sure how many more options to beat it you want.
