Is there any way to NOT PUSHBACK?

[Jesus Christ]

Most annoying thing for me is when you parry enemies and they're pushed away from you like half a meter and you miss the hit with smaller weapons, is there any way to remove this pushback effect/mechanic? Any mod that could do that?

[Suzaku]

I don't think there's a way to remove it (though I've not looked into mods for this particular issue). After a quick look through the wiki, I've noticed that weapons have much lower block force than shields, so if you decide to go shieldless, you would knock opponents away a much shorter distance when blocking/parrying their attacks.

Otherwise, you'll just need to learn and adapt. You know the target will be pushed back by your block, so take a step forward before attacking.

I think it is more of a you are knocking them off balance, then you are pushing them back, but, i know what you mean. As for a mod that changing the way combat works altogether, i have no idea.

Instead of using a Mod for it, i would go with the suggestion from
Suzaku and try to get into Atgeirs and later in Magic.

And yes Atgeirs can parry.

If you want to get an idea about it, Henrik made a series with
a no Shields restriction, and the main Focus on the Atgeir.

Here is the Link to the Playlist and of course you don't have to use the
hardest difficulty.

It is just to give you another idea, and that Mods are not always needed.

I just keep pushing forward as they stagger back. By the time the next swing occurs I'm in melee range again.

Very annoying mechanic, yes... untill you switch to knife, hehe. Ideal for dagger's special...

dodge roll into them instead of parrying

ikr, downhill terrain and parrying don't work in most cases. makes you say, jesus christ, all the time. deathsquitos knock you back when you block them, making it a low chance to get them with a sword each time you block. this mechanic could use some tweaking too.

You're talking about getting staggered - during combat you'll notice an orange bar appear as you block hits. Any incoming damage remaining after the block is added to the orange bar, once the bar reaches 40% of your max health you will be staggered.

In the case of deathsquitos they deal 90 damage per hit, so whatever you blocked the remainder was more than 40% of your max health.

Try to get on the same horizontal plane as your target - if you are on a slope back away so they pursue and kite them to where you have a better chance of landing hits.

That doesn´t give you a damage boost and also doesn´t staggger the enemy

Indeed, but the OP is complaining about the knock back.

Read the op again.

He says that the most annoying thing for him is the knockback from parrying. Rolling doesn´t remove the knockback from parries and thus doesn´t fix the problem for the op since he wants to parry just with less knockback.

Sometimes you can strafe for a parry that will knock them into a wall or something, sometimes it helps to parry mobs away from you, like off a cliff or into a pit as well, you can walk into them while they're staggered to help push them somewhere as well

Pretty sure you can party gjall / bonemaw projectiles, but I've never done it my aelf

I usually run round shields/bucklers, and this is the approach I take - a little step forward after a parry to strike back.

Smaller weapons benefit less from parry and more from dodging. That said, smaller weapons take less stamina so a quick sprint forward after a parry is affordable. That's my take on the mechanic.

Obviously, being toe to toe in their face holding W before the parry helps as well.

As to a direct answer to the thread title, yes, pin them against a tree or something.
