New mechanic to counter Resist Parries..

Shep

Can we implement a new mechanic that allows us to reparry ... Resist Parry heavy's from a defender instead of always eating a combo? @KabamDORK

Shep

It's the most unfair thing in the game since resist is chance.

Shep

Anybody disagreeing that auto Parry right after resist is fair. Deserves the combo🤣

There's no auto-parry after resist. A well-timed block results in a parry and in PVP content that will always be the case. But not every resist is a well-timed block. It isn't unfair, but it is something to be aware of and consider, like nearly every other mastery, in every fight you take.

Op obviously doesn't have the ability to understand this

@Furrymoosen You're telling me not every time there's a resist that you won't get parried from a defender?

Shep

My core issue is there should be a way around this and not be an absolute.

Yes, that is what I am telling you. It isn't 100%.

Shep

Since you want to go by semantics

So what you actually want is a way around parry.

I'll just wait for a reply from Dave

I've parried heavy attacks multiple times before, just git gud or avoid them in general. I also can't remember the last time the opponent resisted my heavy and I got parried by it.

Shep

If you don't understand what I'm talking about there's no way to do a well time block if you don't know you're going to resist

Shep

But the defender can do that

Shep

I don't know why this is such a back and forth

You will be waiting a long time because you won't get one.

I'm just saying, he doesn't respond to everything (or hardly anything), and there are and have been much more important topics that he would address first.

But I do like how a comment with just me being tagged and a period has gotten 5 disagrees (I'm assuming the disagrees were before it was edited).

Shep

I gotta tell you the amount of positivity in this form is astounding

Probably because there was no edit, actually. But yeah, Dork has an odd lack of presence on the forums, and to top it off it's the weekend.

By positivity you mean you want an echo chamber so you can hear people agree with whatever you say? We don't need stand your ground to auto-parry heavies because that will also mean every resisted heavy the opponent does is an auto-parry. Masteries go both ways in PvP content, and in general most people are dodging heavies so this sounds like a change that will hurt the playerbase a lot more than help.

I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree later

Guys he's obviously barking up the wrong tree later

JLordVileJ

It is apparent that he is barking up the wrong tree later

Shep

I'm flattered

Shep

I like impressions

Shep

Just because people don't agree with you doesn't make you wrong.

From your POv on this, I'm not sure there's a tree out there worth barking at...
