we can't parry no more ??

[Nigeta]

like wtf, i was able to parry like 80% of the time and now if an ennemi is next to me i m just dead. It s just me or since the update we can t parry ?

Fencing weapons got nerf to parry. It now lasts much shorter so it's less spammable. You have to actually time it now.

[Grognard]

Definitely seems like we need to relearn timings now. Is it now the same as balance? So might as well use balance and have more stats?

Yeah you can't just spam it anymore and expect not to get hit, you have to watch before something actually hits you and parry beforehand, which is the intended use of parry.

Its not a nerf its a straight up buff. You can wait till the last second to parry and its 100% perfect every time.

GAMEPLAY AND BALANCING TWEAKS

Melee Archetypes: Fencing weapons' perfect parry window will now have the same duration as balanced weapons but it will start from the first frame of parry animation.

Is it? I've only been able to play one game so far. Timings definitely feel off. I'll have to check it out more. I've seen a lot of comments tot he contrary however.

The fencing adjustment is straight up a buff, especially if you are spamming it compared to before the update

To be fair I never really tried fencing weapons, so I assumed they always were frame 1 and lasted for a long while. From what I understand now they are supposed to last the same as Balanced but starts immediately.

It's still easier to react with fencing, since it doesn't have the delay like Balanced. I guess your decision if you value that enough.

I really don't feel the change...I'm able to parry just like before... even when multiple majoris pounce on me..

It's probably just a case of relearning the timings. But definitely feels like you can start a parry late and still get it, which is kind of nice. But starting one early gets you whacked more often than not :D.

I main sniper class and went fencing for the increased parry window and less damage. If the parry time is the same but the timing is different there is absolutely no reason to choose "fencing" over "balanced". Especially when you take the damage cut with fencing.

feels better to me because you can wait so late to do it now instead of having to sorta do it preemptively.

After having played it on a few matches. It doesn't feel like it was nerfed. You can parry a bit slower than before and still get it off with a fencing weapon. Biggest issue is if you're used to parrying early. Still feels like fencing is worth it. Just not the default pick anymore.
