Highlander offensive mode takes to long to enter. Also execution timing off. | Forums

I've been playing the highlander a while now and it seems like entering offensive mode takes a much longer time than it should. I don't know the exact delay but i feel like it should be reduced significantly and offensive mode should not be cancelled when attacked due to the inability to block attacks. Also when performing executions i noticed that the head of my opponent appears to hop off their shoulders before my blade gets to them and it looks like it is being cut from the opposite direction, has anyone else noticed this?

I've never personally noticed the whole execution thing, but I'm sure that the difference is as simple as having their head fly the other direction.

Also the offensive form isn't insanely fast to get into, but getting out of it is instantaneous (you can dodge, parry, attack, etc. instantly). My personal beef with it is that it takes stamina to get out of offensive stance, where it really shouldn't. Going into offensive stance is one of the things Highlanders should do more, since it allows for a difficult set of mixups while also preventing you from turtling.

Agreed, I've also noticed stamina is gone if one of the offensive heavies is parried. Extremely difficult to land one on an opponent with good defense.
