You not understand. After that it not showing you white indicator when is parry window

interesting, didn't know that. But can you still parry it tho? Most people don't use the indicator anyway (I sure don't)

Um no zone attacks are fine in duels just need to be fixed. The top attack on a warden is faster then a zone attack but the zone attack is harder to block. I think it's cuz the warning indication don't start as soon as the zone attack happens. Also zone attacks are way to use full to be removed from actual combat.(only way a warden can punish a ranged character after a parry is by zone attacking)

Warden's top light is 15 frames while his zone attack is 12 frames. Please know what you are talking about before talking about it.

I find most abilities "useless". Lets remove them so that way we have even less options to play this game.


Idiotic opening statement and topic.

Only 12? If I'm not mistaken that same speed as a pk. And I can block a pk all day...like I said the indicator must be off or somthing. Could also be the lack of animation that's tripping ppl up? And I play warden so I do know what I'm talking about. The zone attack feels slower then top light attack or at very least the same speed. But when trying block it its Def faster then pk light attack.

You cant. But anyway i thing even if i try do it "on memory" you dont have chance. Slow chars have tricky parry window for heavys, attacks feels like slowing down before parry windo and speeding up after, at least for me

This is great feedback regarding zone attacks, everyone! We'll be sure to forward it along to the team.

don't know why people say the top light on warden is faster than zone, as it's not. but even if it was the ZA is a pain because with the top light you get a warning. the chracter always switches stance before attacking so you get that slit second warning its coming, where as the ZA you don't as they can move to top guard and then throw out a fast attack from the right.

that's the main problem with them, very quick and unlike other attacks they happen without warning, or to some extend a false one, as again you see them change stance and they a attack animation start up, so you think it has to come from that direction, but nope.
