Really, another problem is, like I said, I have 3+ years of this game and have been trying to duel on and off for a while, and here's another HUGE problem:
I read, practiced, and tried all the mechanics I could handle, but once I step in front of someone, I go blank and it's usually just me swinging, blocking when he attacks, and trying to swing my cursor around trying to PB a swing within half a milisecond.
In the end It's just a wild ride of swinging and flinging my cursor about figuring out how the F I didn't pb that guy, then boom im dead. Or, if I'm lucky, he's dead.
And really I'm not a complete scrub at it, I can handle myself and manage to try to keep calm and try to pb and make some good counter swings, but usually within 15 seconds I'm just running with 10 bp left and apparently they're always somehow at full.
