Ch_Zero Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 They can quickly use the kick stun in rotation, and it flows nicely. Spike not so much. Anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch_Zero Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Does anyone even notice this at all? When they use that force kick that stuns for 1 second they are able to strafe to either side in a continuous motion, while assassins cannot do that, they need to stand still in the spike motion. I see this as an imbalance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorfis Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 There's a lot of combat animation issues in this game, which never had any business getting past QA dating back to the beta, but yet here we are... crappy combat bugs and all! In all seriousness, anyone with an ounce of competitive PvP blood in their body knows exactly what you're referring to. It's crappy and is a glaring problem at the core of the combat system that I don't think will ever be resolved or else it would have been done back in beta. Welcome to SWTOR!

Xancath Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Their project is delayed by ~2s while ours is instant Spike is really only useful as a makeshift interrupt. As a stun, consider that you are spending 1.5s(the duration of the GCD) to stun the target for 2s. I'll take shock over spike any day of the week.

verfallen Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I'll take lifting someone in the air and a stabbing motion in execution style over a round kick anyday. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novarium Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 not sure but i think you might be getting the spec a bit confused.. for instance if u spec into darkness as an assassin you can use spike at anytime.. which i think is what you are noticing with the jedi version... they can use it at anytime if the speced into the tank tree.. if i am reading it wrong and you are just annoyed at the animation then.. soike is clearly cooler.. but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like on for example Juggernaut Smash there is a.5 second delay where the character does a spin move before the damage actually hits, hence why the ability misses a lot of the time when someone uses a knockback or move out of range. Even though the ability is supposedly instant cast. So on some abilities there is a slight hickup due to animation which makes moving while using it awkward.

Hethroin Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Would you also like the Shadow version of the AE punt to go along with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
