There is absolutely no way to use the special attack of the Deimos Sword on Damnation now. Previously you would start the attack and get to dodge out of the way, because the sword would stay connected to the enemy, like a Mauler and you wouldn’t die because you are locked in place.
But now you are forced not to move (or rather move significantly enough not to die to being clobbered to death), in order to land the special attack hit.
Either change the Special Attack hits to be a burst damage, instead of damage over time, or please return the ability not to cancel the attack on a dodge.
God no, it would destroy those weapons. Block comes up before dodge so a player used to latching attacks will move away from their target to gain space and bit block as soon or even earlier than possible.
These are identical to chain weapon attacks and i have been using them without whatever this tech was this whole time. In auric maelstrom even.
How about :
dodge for lessened damage but stays on target, block for complete cancel, and special activation for double damage in exchange for triple the amount of peril. It’d be super costly but highly rewarding.
You activate it again while its lock in the target and they explode on a warp-y bloody mist.
Same for chain weapons, but instead of peril you stun lock yourself like the thunderhammer 1.0 (how it was at launch)
That would be pretty cool IMO
Anyway, at the moment i’ve to agree the dodge to cancel is more annoying then helpful.
