Spear Overhead Stab - Keybind?

[taKe_it_perSonaL]

Hi there....

my Question in a few words:

With the SPEAR, I want the slashing with Mouse1, Parrying with Mouse 2, Overhead Stab with ThumbUp, High-Range-Thrust with ThumbDown

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


At the Moment im tryin' to remap my keybindings for the Vanguard - Spear.

My Problem is: I don't like the "Mouse-Button-Up"-Keybind for the Overhead Stab.

So i changed it to use the Overhead-Stab with the Thumb Button on my Mouse, but the Thumb button now does both Slashing and my preferred Overhead Stab.

I NEVER use Slashing with the Spear, and i don't plan to do it in future.

Question: How can i get the Overhead Stab (and only the Stab) on another key than Mouse-Button-Up?

Learn to slash with a spear, they are used for that purpose too. Also to bind keys like that im not sure the animation system allows that in the manner you wish. When using a spear to swing you back up to force the enemy to back away or take a slash across the body. Spears as slashing and stabbing weapons are dangerous even to 28 inch sword carrying knights.

Check options menu. Also delete the old bind (some games bind two keys)

Deleted the old Bindings. Still the same problem.

When using a Spear - Tertiary Attack should be an Overhead Stab (original Keybind is Mousewheel-Up)

When i change that to Thumb-Button-Front, my Persona does both Overead Stabs and Slashes in a random way. I just want the Overhead Stab alone on one Key.

Or more precise:

I want the slashing with Mouse1, Parrying with Mouse 2, Overhead Stab with ThumbUp, High-Range-Thrust with ThumbDown

The game must have a built in keybind for that mouse button. Is there a "console" to program with thus to remove it manually? if there is that is one of the ways otherwise you might need to hotkey it instead of the mouse. The attack you speak of sounds like a programmed "Combo" by the game itself and that might be stuck perm.

An overhead stab is obviously effective im just not sure how to place it on another button if said buttons have prepared binds already.

Yep, i think you're right.

The game forces you to make a slashing attack with thumbUp, even if you change its binding.

Hm, pretty annoying fact. Why give us Keybindings, if you're not free to use them? :)

too true. I enjoy the game for its skyrimisk deathmatch style of combat (aside from the fact Skyrim has far too much health too little damage). I use the vanguard but as a practioner of So-jutsu (spear technique) let me give you a little secret. Also what type of spear do you use first. If you use a normal leaf shaped spear when you take slashs at the enemy only do so as you approch and back up to force the enemy to block or most likely as always run away a little. From there you close the distance and thrust only one or two times and on the final throw a quick slash (at this point his animations will be still recovering) thus allow a quick kill.

I love So-jutsu my real life techniques translate pretty good to this game (though in RL i have sweeps i would use to make my enemy helpless to a downward thrust)

I mostly use the Thrusting Spear, since i don't like the Fork and didnt get the Brandithing.

just watched some movies 'bout spearfighting. Looks nice :)

Good spear. as i said only slash when you have distance between you and your enemy, or if you need to force your enemy to run (most will back up over block your slash).

The thrusting of a spear is done normally after you've slashed and blocked your way within his kill radius otherwise you will over extend the spear and be helpless to recover. The spears greatest strength and weakness is its length.

Those who thrust only leave themselves open for side steeping cuts while if you slashed yourself, he is going to get hit first if he dares use his side step slash thinking all you do is thrust *wink*

i think your problem is that the alternate slash is binded to your thumb button.
bind it to another key and i should work

[taKe_it_perSonaL]

Thats it :=)

Didn't scroll down, just wanted to fix it by primary, secondary, tertiary Attack :)

Problem solved, thx alot!
