Can sword guarding suck less, please?
There’s no point to guarding with swords in 98% of situations.
Two uses for it that I can think of: mitigating fall damage and avoiding instant death from the vaporizing death-wall from Hasapiko while in a Well of Radiance. [b]That’s it.[/b]
Sword guarding should be able to tank a little more than a handful of Hive boomer shots if you basically become immobilized while you do it. The only time it’s sensible to guard is if you’re a Titan using Stronghold gauntlets. Otherwise you might as well just dodge.
We need a noticeable increase to the damage resistance, we’re using heavy ammo weapons that put us in the line of fire, not toy daggers. If we [b]can[/b] guard, we should be [u]encouraged[/u] to do so, otherwise what’s the point of being able to guard to begin with?

1 답변Phase 1 Ghalran. They do well for total damage not really DPS. Surrounded and Whirlwind Blade being active in this encounter allow them to be really viable options.

작성자: WulfPak666 9/2/2019 10:28:37 AMRemember when sword guarding was so good you could literally negate Skolas' poison mechanic? Tank a Golden Gun? Eat Nova bombs, rockets, sleeper shots... (Or reflect them with Artifact) Tank a hit from Crota? Become immune to Deathsinger's Curse during Warpriest totems? Negate stomp knock back? Good times...

I'll agree to these. As an avid sword user, the only viable guard to have on a sword is heavy guard. And even then you can only tank at max about 2-3 EP exploding thrall, but not without destroying your ammo reserves. Wizard blasts require 10 ammo to block regardless of guard type. And they're shot rapid fire making blocking pointless. I think it shouldn't require additional ammo to block any type of attack. But rather the ammo should steadily tick down whilst blocking attacks just like when not blocking anything. And then the actual damage resistance for all guard types should go up by about 30%.

4 답변Considering that you could block with a sword and live through bomb explosions and wipe mechanics in D1 during the Oryx encounter during kings fall raid.... swords have gotten pretty weak in D2

3 답변Unpopular opinion ,Guarding with a sword should deflect bullets by default ,but at less damage

4 답변It works against the crazy warden that shoots fire at the end of that subway strike. In fact, there's a triumph for it, to stand there like an idiot and let him shoot his fire at you for 10 seconds or something like that. The only way I could think of to do it was to block it with my sword and it worked. Also, stop using [i]change my mind[/i], you know that's annoying AF. you KNOW this.

1 답변Imagine if swords were as good as they were in D1. They're utter trash now. Even worse than sidearms.

Yeah sword itself needs a buff, Since swinging itself too sucks. It's way too slow compared to the damage I take, not efficient. The only usage for blocking to be used is when you are in Shuro Chi's puzzle, but it also gets pointless to because Warlocks would just put their rift or radiance on it.
-
Swords should become primaries and guarding needs a significant buff so it completely blocks more damage and consumes no energy when no hits are received. But, these are scummy trash devs that won’t touch anything the community asks for, all while continuously adding even more scams to eververse/the battle passes.

2 답변With Stronghold you can have near 100% combo uptime on bosses with swords, just perfect block their stomp and heal to full and continue slashing. Without Stronghold yeah sure it's pointless.

I use strongholds with burst guard in gambit...but I get killed with izagnami's burden no matter what at 4x honed edge. I use them in pvp and a shotgun blast will kill me. a sniper shot takes almost half my hp. All of this was with burst guard and I still feel like i'm not blocking enough damage when it comes to pvp
-
Has no use in PvP either because it slowed your mobility down that you can actually run up to an enemy player to get within swing distance without them having enough time to sink two primary mags into the guard / or just run away. Same with gambit invaders / invading.

3 답변i love swords in pvp, 3rd person view coupled with Blink is an awesome way to play, mine has Infinite Guard, High efficiency & Whirlwind Blade Guarding with a sword is not just about standing still tanking damage, it's more of a last ditch effort to stay alive while retreating to cover or to close the Gap when you come up short
