Could Conqueror get any more boring? | Forums

So in the last few days of playing, I've noticed that Conquerors have resorted to one tactic: Shield bash>heavy>shield bash. At first I found it annoying, then learned to counter it really easily.

The problem being, however, that every Conqueror I fight is stupidly predictable, and basically becomes a game of dodging and guardbreak heavies. The Conqueror feels like the most boring class to fight in the game right now, not to mention it's probably the most efficient way to play him.

Well her lights are slow and letting heavies just fly by isn't really sound either. So....what is she left with? not much.

Considering a conqueror can't feint, this means all his attacks can be parried without risk, leaving him with the shield bash.

I wouldn't say fighting a conqueror is dull, but I would say it's very slow going, which is the impression I get of what the conqueror should be anyway.

I don't think shield spam should be the only option, but then there's so many other issues with this game that it may as well be the conqueror's method of slowing the fights down when attempting any offense.

U probably kidding, huh ?! + to to his dafance, and regular attacks+feints like from other characters... he got 1 new mechanic - shild bash, wich force to use dash, if u whant to evade dat.
+ unique rage mech, when he becomes invulnerable !!! WUT ?! Noone else can do that... so he just got all what got other BUT +ANOTHER actions....
Do u saw any concueror in tournaments ? Probably not.... Cuz its just an imba, he can feint hes charge havy, ect.

Well the conq honestly doesn't have much in terms of capabilities.
Bashing after an attack or to start is really only what he can do.

That's the problem, and a bigger problem is that it's so effective. I can't remember the last time I saw a Conqueror doing anything besides shield bash spamming someone into the wall and killing them with heavies.

Terribly boring.

Conq needs a reworking of his kit to where he can effectively engage in other aspects of the game without being at a severe disadvantage. Faster attacks and the ability to feint w/o full guard would be a start at least. Then simply shield bash needs to be more punishable. Unfortunately, as it stands, a Conq who doesn't spam shield bash is simply not going to be worth anything.
