why does no one uses kick?

hey, so i couldn't play a lot during the weekend, only an hour after the game went out or so (and its killing me). so i watched a few early area game lets plays on youtube and i noticed that no one used the kick skill at all.

why? this is literally what made the early area easy for me, and I am usually checking the skills I get anyways.
it lowers like half the enemies's stamina and basically makes it so they can stagger.

new players should really look into it until they get a better stamina (or whatever the white bar is called) skill.

I just use a greataxe. Spam MMB and it usually kills the enemy in about 2-3 clicks. If it doesn't it breaks stamina.
Kinda broken IMO

a lot of the popular youtubers and streamers aren't usually very good. but it might be better to ask them.

the white bar is also your stability not stamina. if u knock that down they will, or if urs is gone you will, fall over and be left open to easy attacks. that bar turns yellow when blocking.

be careful as a mage in higher content, i got jumped by a mob who 1 hit comboed me while i had 145hp (u start with 100hp so im doing good) because 2 hits knocked me over and i had no way to run while he ate into the other half of my hp.

You should be able to do a quick dodge roll while you're on the ground if you press space + a direction key

with the games combat being as it is, using the kick would be more on the lines of you getting hit than it serving a purpose TBH.

well, I just found around 3-4 enemies so far and used the 1 handed machete.
thank you, I meant stability yes.

and I am just using 1 kick instead of a light attack when you have the opening, after that the enemies will get stagger (after around 50% stability) but yeah I'd imagine once you use long range attacks it'd be useless.
managed to beat a hyena without getting hit
