single and "bo-staff" lightsabres super slow on blocking?

[Lycon]

When using the dual ones i can insta block but for the other two it takes ages before I can block? Its especially bad against many enemies including ranged where i baraly can get 1 attack in before getting blasted form all sides.

Without the dual ones id be dead 10 times over?


Why are they so bad? Or do they get better with upgrades?

[pauloandrade224]

thats odd i got instant blocks with the bo staff one. in fact i think it was my favourite style

There's no difference in parry time between stances

when i attack (without enemy) it takes significantly longer to block than when I do the same with dual wield sabers.

Dual blade is the only stance in which you can attack cancel (so you can parry/defend mid swing). Other stances allow you to block/parry only after your attack animation ends.

Thats cause you're missusing the sabres.

Dual blades are excellent for blocking cause theyr attack speed is fast.

It would be way to OP to have a crossguard or single hand saber block and have the speed of dual blades because of theyr power.

dual sabers are OP as heck. Being able to parry at will is in-sane!

parry timings no, but theres 100% a difference in when you can parry. Dual lets you cancel your attacks and instantly parry whenever u want. The other stances dont allow this.

"When" is a metric of time. And for the 3rd time, there is no difference in parry time between stances.

Try it for yourself... You can cancel any attack into a parry with dual sabers....

Parry time and ani canceling for parries are completely different.

It's not like Sleeping dragons where you can litterally always press y to parry even in attack anim.

The dual blades attack fast, thus allow more space to parry, at the sacrifice of damage.

You add that to crossguard, you're gonna have an OP stance.

Its not necessairly OP because your sacrificing damage :p

Fyi, its literally in dual vield description that you can "abort attacks by pressing ...". So you can in fact always press block button to parry, even mid swing.
