How do i block with the new melee system (Ack and Brunt + Electromagnetic Shielding)?

[CR48]

Quick summary, i'm using A&B with Trinity + 3 + Adaptation, it used to be pretty good back when i could ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ block with my melee weapon, but now instead of willingly raise my shield to mitigate the burden from my teammates i go back aiming my gun. I kept messing with my key binds but it doesn't do any good, am i missing something? other than joining a match with melee only doesn't seem to be working for me

you block automatically, just stand there and get shot your will frame will do the rest o_o

that much i did know, but i don't think the DPSs and Bursts appreciate me getting in the way only to draw the attention of the enemies

Just use Trinitys 4 with decent strength and duration, that will do better than fiddling around with this mod.

i don't think i have many options at all, it was nice stacking dmg resistance, A&B almost made everyone also have my 3 and 4 only spiced it up

You can manually block if you play with only a melee weapon equipped.

I know it's stupid, but, we are talking about DE here and most of the things they do make no sense. There was nothing wrong with the combat system but they decided to change it anyway by giving birth to this abomination we have now.

I'm hoping by the time they get around to finishing the combat system they'll add melee block back in since it got tons of backlash, but again, we're talking about DE here so I don't expect much.

Let's not pretend that anyone but some shield enthusiast actually used the freaking feature okay?There was no point to it AT ALL.

DE has taken control away from us regarding melee, and it sucks.

What control?Everything is still there aside of manual blocking which i already pointed out nobody really used.

I actualy used it for aimgliding. Not having that terrible zooming is pretty good for control.

I.. i kinda feel stupid , because i forgot aimgliding with melee was possible.
Nonetheless , i feel like the auto-block is better in most cases.Aside of gunblades of course.

What about when you are trying to rush through a level with a melee equipped and every time you get shot at you automatically stop to block bullets that you don't want to block? Which totally ruins your momentum. I have also been shot at to make my jump over a gap fall short so I have to redo the jump again.

Also the nikana combo is ruined cause you have to use right-click + melee. Then when the combo is over it switches to your gun. You have to switch back just to combo again again the cycle repeats.

- Guardian derision
- Vaykor Sydon

Just to name a couple.

There were points to block. With the a new mod that was introduced the only thing stopping someone from comboing it efficiently is the lack of being able to adopt a blocking stance.

i mean, the only thing that didn't made sense to me was having Quick Melee and switch to Melee as separate binds back in the day, having only one key to use your sword ain't so bad, but going back to your gun with anything else than M1 doesn't make much sense now, this also goes for the Scanners when you are gliding
