Considering how useful dodge attacks can be, I think a GB is a fair punishment on block. You can't just dodge attack at random then, but use it on reaction.

Aren't really useful against someone whose reactions are good enough to block a raider light. Weren't we trying to get rid of the defensive meta? Why would we keep a mechanic that allows for 25-100 damage for blocking an attack that takes a full 600ms? It's not exactly incentivizing offensive gameplay.

Because this game would turn into a spam fiesta. It's a stategic fight game, not button smashing.

Not you mention valk swipe is so fast now you cant even dodge it anymore

It's 600ms, on top of that you have to land two attacks to even get it out. If you think 500ms attacks should be punished with a block then let's start doing it with all of the 500ms light attacks.

You don't have to LAND any attack,. you just have to press the buttons. Even if he blocks you, you can do the swipe.

Besides now YOU CANNOT DODGE SWIPE ANYMORE unless you have an assasin hero ! So Valk has now a guaranteed unblockable, unparryable move who rewards top heavy after. Cute.

Oh did I mention swipe triggers through wall without a problem ? Every zone attack is blocked if you hit the wall, Valk can do it without a problem.

Is this true? Because thats a much better explanation than "surely I haven't gotten this bad on my 2 week break". Is Valk's spear sweep undodgeable now due to timesnap, or has something changed? Can a Ubisoft mod confirm?
