Dodge timings in Darktide are far more forgiving than in Vermintide 2. Yes stam regen is disabled when dodging. Still melee is easier. You were good at melee in VT2, you should be godlike in DT.
Melee is different, but still really important. “No, you are wrong, I’m right” isn’t an argument. You are comparing apples to oranges at this point.
It’s a fun Tide game, just not Vermintide 3. Simplified in some areas, more complex in others. I certinely can enjoy both, despite Sweden attempts to frustrate us at every step
