Why does conq have Punch Through? | Forums

[Philamonjaro]

It really needs to be changed or removed in conqs current state. Having an infinite chain of lights which can have heavies thrown in at any time, which is made even worse with revenge, makes it so he can kill you without ever actually landing an attack that isn't blocked. He has plenty of tools to deal with turtles and whatnot, so why does he even need this? Would like to know everyone elses thoughts

Last I check, blocked lights bounce off and interrupt the chain. And heavies are very slow except flail uppercut.
Does Punch Through inflict so much damage to be a bother? I've never had a problem. Although i admit, I rarely block against conqueror. .It's parry or dodge.
The feat only works with block anyway, a very specifically situational PASSIVE. it's a great noob bashing tool.

Actually with punch through I believe lights are no longer interrupted on block. Punch through actually does considerable damage. I wouldn’t mind so much but it does kill you which makes no sense. Not particularly noob only. A good Conq will make it work regardless of skill level. And although you may prefer to parry or dodge the majority will be prepared to block just in case something else comes up or a mix up is expected so the attack goes through and continues to chain.
