    weird mechanic- all guard when blocking???

    I don,t understand when a player blocks an attack they get all guard for 2 seconds it gets rid of the point of a need for a parry when ur being ganged. I just watched a match in which one warden never parried and he just stood there blocking and would get all-guard it was dumb because he sat there for 2 mins of overtime with 1 hp. I understand that unlockables are a way to hit but it was silly because warden would just parry. He was just sitting there on point just vibing with an all-guard. There should be a mechanic if the player takes more than one hit from multiple players he runs out of stamina. I think that would balance our characters getting revenge like no tomorrow just by blocking.

    The all-guard only comes up for a split second. It's easily overcome by the gankers not being completely braindead with spamming attacks all at the same time.

    Hello!

    This thing is to help people surviving ganks against low skill gankers who just mash buttons. There are multiple tools to deal with this: unblockables, bashes, guardbreaks, some feats. Feinting to mess up someone's indicator, especially if you feint an unblockable, is also very useful. Keep in mind that smashing attacks against a player's guard is a very bad decision.

    My basic advice is, look for openings, don't hasten the cornered opponent's death, because it will not help most of the times. I highly recommend watching this video. You will get some things about ganking.
