Raider Bug (?) | Forums

[Kharneth88]

Something that happens that feels like a bug. Does it happen to others? Is it intentional?

Heavy feint to pommel strike = Heavy, Light during start up.

--> When locked onto nothing, this works perfectly fine. When locked onto an actual enemy, if I click the light attack too soon it just becomes a zone attack. I know for a fact that I'm not clicking heavy and light at the same time because it's the same finger that is releasing heavy and then pressing light, but the zone attack comes out. This happens far too often when I'm in a rush to feint. <--

I suspect that this is a feature in place to make it easier to do the zone attacks. If you click both heavy and light at not quite the same time, this helps overcome user error. I don't think it's necessary, zone attacks are very easy to pull off. I've never failed at doing a zone attack, but I'll often accidentally zone attack. Peacekeeper has the same heavy to light attack and I've mained her previously and found that I'd sometimes do a zoning attack as well, but not nearly as often as the Raider.

Obviously the solution is to self correct and just slow down a tad, but if this is something that should be addressed I'd love it if it was.

Zone attack is not about clicking heavy and light attack at the same time but within a certain time frame.

They could give zone attack a special button, but those pity console players don't have enough buttons on there controller things.

We don't have enough buttons because they were really stupid with their button choices. Way too many pointless buttons.

I noticed this as well. Figured I was doing something wrong.

Working as intended. It has the delay because it's supposed to be a feint/mix-up. If it was faster, your opponent wouldn't react to the heavy attack component, which would render it meaningless.
