Parries not interrupting bosses

[idle finch]

I use shield with the trow knockdown thingy for an execute

[daring socket]

Woah that is crazy lol, I never knew about that

[idle finch]

The sword can do it too...thers one of the points on the skill tree that gives chance of knockdown

Amd yes this affects bosses

[idle finch]

The execute damage is so freaking high too

It makes smites obsolete

Its become my main damage source

Skewer the boss

[daring socket]

Do you think it trivializes the bosses?

[idle finch]

Not at all

I had to do this

The hp was grey

Was the only damage that was getting across that grey bar

Requires some aim and distance

[daring socket]

Yeah that grey hp bar thing is a bit weird I don’t understand it

[idle finch]

And patience because it doesnt always knockdown..its a chance

[idle finch]

When armor is hoguer that the danage most your attacks can do their health is Grey indicating that you cant do any damage to them past 1

[daring socket]

That play style seems pretty fun, I should try out shield if I can get one

[idle finch]

So basically you rely on heavy attacks and executes to even hurt them because anything else bounces right off and does no damage

[daring socket]

Oh I see

That seems a little annoying in my opinion

[idle finch]

I mean yes but makes it so i can't just auto attack spam untill they die

Heavy attacks are slow

And im not using any armor so being hit ONCE is a desth sentence most the time

Makes the game hard

Which is good

I have to perfectly time those heavies

Or get a knockdown to execute

Or trow my birds with oceldas 3 to force stagger and potentially get a stagger execute

[daring socket]

Yes, the positive side of that is you have the fight the enemies in a different way

[idle finch]

Yup

[daring socket]

What the heck your build is crazy

[idle finch]

XD

[daring socket]

I’m just making this post since I want to see if it would be fun, I think it would be

but definitely keep that stuff in the game because that is fun too

that’s part of what made Warframe fun which is being overpowered 🌝

[idle finch]

Oscelda also stuns

[daring socket]

Halberd do a lot of damage

[idle finch]

The stun gives a massive damage multiplier to the next hit

Hence why I hit so hard sometimes

Thats a full spirit with a spirit spear

And that spear was rank 8 at the time

And it still wrecked stuff

Thats another way I approach boses

[daring socket]

What is your opinion on what I suggested?

[idle finch]

I knock them down...execute...stun...heavy attack twice...roll away

Males sense for boses to be staggered a little after being parried

Or stunned

Bosses dont get interrupted at all by me stunning them

The ability continues

While they are stunned

Look at the blue circle closing in while the mf is petrified

And then he snaps from being staggered on the ground to the slam animation

[daring socket]

That’s pretty strong

[idle finch]

It would be but I had to run away because the ability kept going even tho boss was already stunned

[daring socket]

I’m saying they shouldn’t be stopped at all so you can keep parrying the bosses attack chain

[idle finch]

If i had stayed to do damage while he was staggered I would of died

[idle finch]

Hm

Maybe

Kind of like sekiro

?

[daring socket]

Yes, the idea is to have that sekiro play style in the game for only bosses

I feel like I’d have fun with that but I don’t understand the entire game so I don’t know the negatives of that being added

[idle finch]

The negatives are that the blocking animations are not fast enough

Thers a delay between pressing the button and actually blocking or carrying...a big delay

So you can easily get punished hard as soon as ir done partying one attack because thers a long animation

[daring socket]

Yeah I noticed, sometimes it doesn’t even work for me. I’m sure it’s something they are working on over time

To increase responsiveness

[daring socket]

Yeah true, they should let you cancel that animation

Maybe

[idle finch]

There is also the riposte attacks that you can do immediately after you parry which do very high damage and if you had to parry over and over and over to barely survive while you sweat your ass off...you can never actually attack or use the riposte after parrying

[daring socket]

I did mention the riposte attacks, you could use them when the boss’ chain is over

Or use them in between the boss’ attacks and cancel it before the boss hits you

The long sword riposte is quick enough for something like that

[idle finch]

The boss chain is never over..it gives you that idea because they get constantly staggered by us ....their attacks are random..thers no pattern..they just mash your head in untill you die XD

[daring socket]

Maybe that is true, but I know that some attacks have crazy long windups that you could attack in between

[idle finch]

Which they are very good at as they stagger you as well which can let them hit you multiple times in a row

Since you cant move while staggered

Iv died this way

Get hit once.. staggered...get hit second time...before I can dodge away....dies

[daring socket]

True but there is also stagger build up from constantly parrying

On the boss

[idle finch]

I shoot birds at it

They stagger it

Execute

[daring socket]

maybe this could be a pact or something where parries don’t interrupt enemies but build up a ton of stagger

[idle finch]

Maybe

[daring socket]

I would just like to have this play style somewhere in the game personally

maybe other people would like it too
