Remove PB and disarm and make the disarm the PB

[[TG]trap]

Perfect blocking should take more skill, and the disarm mechanic is cheesy and boring. To further the skill in playing a saber class the current disarm mechanic of blocking the the direction of the swing and making the correct movements should just be a normal PB, and PB should no longer happen when just looking in the direction of the saber swing. This will encourage fights where both parties are actually actively engaging each other instead of the duelists that think their good when they just stand still and disarm fish without ever fighting back. It will also make parries more used and can lead to far better duels.

Yeah - good luck with this against fast combinations of 7/8 hits while micromanaging your own counters and disarm attempts simultaneously.

Lmao orly?

That sounds like the absolute worst possible thing you could do to pb/disarm. If anything, just replace disarm with a stagger and keep PBing the same just with smaller zones.

and ya I share the same feelings as Karus, lrn 2 swingblock kid.

Just get rid of disarm under 10 bp so you can't do the run away fishing for mblocks thing, otherwise disarm is fine.

Or learn to change your yaws so they can't hit mblock timing, or mask so they can't hit the PB, or just swingblock....

Change successful MB to combo break and give it stagger or some other animation that makes it immediately noticeable. Also if you get combo broken you can't be combo broken again for a few seconds or less. Combo breaks don't stagger you so you can start a new swing immediately after the combo break.

... And the penalty for not swingblocking is DEEEEAAATH (as it should be)

Lmao, how are you not banned yet? like 3/4 of post is just you.

Anyway, about MB and SB, those 2 mechanics make duels soooo boring, the fact that you can just stay there, spam MB until the enemy get disarm and yes he can SB to not get disarm but, he can't chain a combo and you are still doing PB, so the duel become too static and boring, even Obiwan vs Vader of episode IV has more movement.

Even yawing hard you can still MB, actually, there is no reason to learn other mechanic, just learn how to MB.

Disarm is still an important asset that is needed as a means of deterring people from mindlessly spamming. Even if you're a pro at disarming, you will have your work cut out if you are up against someone who knows how to helicopter yaw the f outta their swings.

Then the way it works should be different, can't stop an annoying and broken playstyle by creating another annoying and broken and BORING playstyle.

As you said, disarm is important to stop the people that mindless spam, but actually can stop everything else and turns the duel into a static kotor duel, wich in my opinion, its worst than spammy guys.

It's a skill thing. Just because the other person is turtling doesn't mean you need to turtle in order to bypass their PBs and MBlocks with proper footwork, timing, yaws, and combos. Even the best mblockers can't simply turtle against any decent offensive duelist.
