Power Swords energyzed attacks deactivate every time you take melee damage, bug or feature this has been the case since beta, besides this problem that is worth addressing i’m experiencing more less common but new instances of deactivation right after i’ve activated the special action.
The activation animation does occur, but you don’t always get your weapon buffed by such animations, its so janky, happens at least 25% of the times.
Can’t capture that on screenshots, you should test it yourself, or if someone reads this and is willing to make a video of the evidence is most welcome.
From my part, every time i get it deactivated i check my thougness bar to see if i got hit by anything but i find it full most of the times, also when you get hit in melee with your thougness full you don’t get any visual stagger clue but it still deactivate your sword!
its actually because ‘chained hits’ end when the player is hit, there is no unique bias against the power sword here. its just a lot more noticeable than losing your decimator/shred hit chain.
yes, because you can swing the power sword around for 3 seconds until you hit something when powered up, with or without power cycler. you aren’t discharging the weapon. but if you get hit after the first attack connects instead of before you start attacking you lose your charge, because the chain was broken. our old boy Hedge confirmed that this is how chains work, taking melee damage = no more chain.
No because you said its like Decimator and its not, if you miss an attack your Decimator stacks reset, Power Cycler is more similar to Headtaker that has 3.5 seconds of leeway to land a hit before loosing your stacks, and no, you don’t lose your Headtaker stacks if you get hit in melee.
When the game says ‘‘chain’’ it doesn’t behave the same for every blessing, and thats that.
I think it’s a feature, I belive the blessing says something about consecutive attacks so I guess if you are interrupted, the activation… stops. Wish it was different though.
Yep, I am experiencing the same thing with all weapons that have an activation of sorts.
now that you make me think of it i might have experienced it even with chainsword, it happened me often that i would activate the special and then i would land a normal strike instead of the rev attack
nah I said like all other chain hit conditions you lose it when you get hit. you decided that swinging the power sword around in the air was a unique thing, which it is, until it starts landing hits and it discharges. at which point during a chain of attacks with power cycler, either the 1 or 2 bonus swings are affected by chain rules
You’re the one trying to make a special case here, its pretty simple.
