medivh.4725 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The Guardian sword combo looks very undeveloped. In the modern gaming era like Devil May Cry 4. The sword swings are very neat very cool. Alright I am not expecting the guardian to perform some sommersaults and front flips, but hey at least make it more polished then just poke stab and swing?

Yasai.3549 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Most sword attacks are Poke Stab Swing tho :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Maybe just turn the energy blade effects back on? Guardian sword used to have what was probably the most striking autoattack sequence in the game at release, but it got toned down due to general complaints about particle effects such that apart from the cone in the final part of the chain, it got reduced down to a generic blue trail. If firebrand axe can generate an entire second axe, I don't see why sword can't have its energy blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The animations depend on your race, not your class or weapon skills. Though only the Asura are really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of animations male norn isn't the best choice for a Guardian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medivh.4725 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Is it possible to develop this kind of quick styled fight combo or action sequencing like this oneA sidestep reference to medium armoured thief like attacks.. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSJ8s8c9w/The body movement, weapon chaining links from one move to another are swift and agile.Main point being the moves should connect building up to the finisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medivh.4725 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 With or without special effects, the Guardian Sword fights can be more imaginative. Since it is a game and a fantasy none the less.Check this out https://fb.watch/49JpCvgtMi/ The sword fights are marvelous...The guardian seem to be limited to the notion of a heavy sword or armour thus dull, predictable movements? Then perhaps he can focus on defensive swings with some effects and defensive condis? Any how please make the fight scenes more exciting for fans and gamers, especially for this class....

DKRathalos.9625 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Btw related to the sword, what is the sword advantage over scepter? Like build for power guardian will involved GS and then Sword or Scepter with Focus. Can someone maybe guide me through the strength and weakness Sword vs Scepter?

Fury access.The Sword symbol is also a teleport skill for closing the gap, and the last sword skill is a channeled projectile block.Scepter on the other hand has one of the worst AAs in the game, one of the best symbols a guardian could ask for, and a ranged immobilize.They are actually good complements to each other.

DKRathalos.9625 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hypothetical question then could sword produce slightly more dps than scepter? Also many build suggest scepter is that because to allow guardian have some ranged?Because if we go Sword/Focus and GS means moe melee than ranged.

Any target with a large hitbox will take more damage from scepter. Against a foe that won't stand in a symbol and dodges the immobilize, you'll be better off with sword.

Malitias.8453 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 A lot of animations could use an overhaul. I think way the characters bend their upper body on some animations is mostly what makes them look so weird.For some animations they go at a 90 degree angle. That never looks good (because it's actually a bad idea to that).To be fair though, I think sword guardian AA is one of the better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
