Mordhau/Murder-stroke/Half swording technique in game?

[Hi, I'm Ari.]

It would be cool if the ability to mordhau was added, perhaps as an unlockable ability. This would also make one handing without shield viable.

For anyone who doesn't know what mordhau is:

This definately needs to be implemented sooner rather than later.
You can already sort of half-hand. If you do thrust with the two-handed sword he actually half swords it, but it's kinda buggy and not really effective right now.

I've noticed that yeah, I don't think it's buggy at all but I've only used two-handed swords in the single player. By half handing I specifically mean holding the sword inverted.

Another thing I wish was added was the ability to equip a secondary loadout in arena. Weapon switching is already a thing (Just press r) but you can't set up your secondaries unless you play something like elimination and use somebody elses weapon.

Ah yes,using pugilist gloves in adept and higher and resulting in 40% red damage from a single tap on the back of your wrist sure sounds like fun :P

I find it funny that it seems like the amount of red damage you receive isn't really affected too much by where an attack hits. If it's unarmored, and the weapon has good cut damage values, here's lots of red damage... doesn't matter if it's your hand or toe lol..

Though it would be really cool/interesting if they could go a bit further with the damage system and reduce the amount of red damage you take to certain parts of your body, but add certain mechanics to getting hit on extremities that are exacerbated when hit with red damage there.

For example, being disarmed if hit in unarmored hands... or gaining a limp if hit in the foot.

Alternate grips/holds with weapons is a planned feature.

No urgency at all my dude, I don't see why discussing features that people would like to see in the game suddenly turns those discussions into urgent demands.

It doesn't make it an urgent demand. I was commenting on the first reply to the thread with that.

Heh. Urgent.
Seriously though, how did your username not get you banned yet, boi?

Why would you need to use the pommel as a mace when you already have a mace...? And the shaft is already able to be gripped without special consideration.

You would defeat the entire point of using a mace in the first place. There's really no alternate way of using maces, well there is but it would be highly inefficient and pointless.

The mace obviously would work WAY better than using a Mordhau technique, so not a replacement.

Twitch banned me a couple times but I've had moderators defend me from offensive name reports on battle.net so I guess dildo's are okay on some platforms.

At least my name is tasteful.

How the heck could you half-sword a mace? I guess you could have an alternative stance with a mace such as two handing a single handed mace.
