As a Warrior main, I took an extended break from Orbus shortly after the first raids were added and had some questions after coming back.
-I noticed the new charge mechanic and while it’s an interesting addition I find it’s description confusing. The descripion describes a charge attack being activated by holding the sword “at a 90 degree angle” after performing a combo. 90 degree relative to what? to my waist? My face? Which direction are turning the sword aka what direction is 0 degrees?? I’ve had the charge go off several times but currently it seems random, one time holding the sword at my side charges an attack, the next it does not and has to be held stright up to charge, third time neiother of these work but it charges when held on the opposite side instead.
-Vertical slashes…these were the bane of any warrior right before I left originally and took several quirky practices to make usable. Now after trying it out it seems far FAR worse. Slashing at a Venom Spider was almost impossible to produce a vertical slash unless literally placing the sword straight at my feet and bringing the blade straight up. Diagonals don’t count, being slightly offset does not count, slashing too fast or too slow does not count. At least before standing in the right place could perform several verticals and made positioning important, now I can’t find how to make them work at all.
-Hit detection in general. Some very strange things seem to happen now, seemly at random as well. Slashes happen that I did not even execute, double hits trigger when only a single swing was done. For testing sake I even simply walked up to a Bluetail and stabbed it with a simple thrust (which shouldn’t have worked at all). The result was 5 consecutive, weak, hits going off at once in random directions. Why?
After leaving at level 19 I was hoping to come back to Orbus and finally hit level 20 but unless I’m missing a lot of major bit of information, the Warrior seems to be in an even worse state than before. Am I wrong? Please tell me that I am wrong and simply need to improve, as I’d much rather that than the above being the truth.
