Riposte is the fastest animation in the game.
The only reason that it’s boring is because them are the majority in every instance of pvp.
Basic af 
You know it got nerfed on the ptr right
And people actually say that life staff is ok as it is
The fact you don’t like using M1 doesn’t mean is bad other people my like it do this post is an opinion and is dumb is like saying spamming fire staff is dumb and brain death same thing let people play what they want grit is not op you still take damage, in a game where cc rules and other weapons have more cc than others grit helps on fights for melee
I recently picked up GA to see what the game style is… I’ve mastered Spear, Hatchet, Bow, BB, SnS, and Musket. GA is by far the most boring to play… whether in expeditions or solo - it just wasn’t fun.

Nah its not contradictory. The SnS/BB build is one that guarantees to 1 shot you basically without needing to have any skill or sneaking or anything assassin related.
Did you pvp in OPR or wars? GA is primarily a pvp weapon.
OPR and open world pvp.
I’d recommend doing duels. They are usually never boring unless on person is getting countered or a large difference in skill.
I did some duels but even that felt like I was just trying to get them in a grav well, stun, and heavy attack spam. Even with all the VG nerfs I love going toe to toe with just about any build. For instance today in a solo flagged IMP run I fought a duo of greens about 5 times. Won all fights by dodging their grav well and stuns. As they run around when my VG gets their health low, FS pops them and finishes em off. Feels like it takes much more skill to play this build in the current meta. It’s squishy yet highly rewarding at times. Granted I get my face smashed in still too.
Yeah, I don’t see as many VG’s but they’re still strong as a combo cc weapon in groups and point control. Honestly whenever I see one and they approach me I unload all of my hammer cc on them and if I can finish them I will, but otherwise I retreat out of their ground circle to make them come out. Fighting them isn’t that interesting other than the initial who can land their cc Scream vs Hammer cc.
ga/wh in duels and small scale pvp is just trying to land a grav well on anyone. missing that g well is pretty much a guaranteed loss/ which is why these g well nerfs really hurt in duels as even after you land there is some much they do and you cant even use wh as they are getting rid of insatiable g well procing when ga is not out.
it is also fun figuring out ways to beat certain builds
The playstyle of an assassin is to get in, burst a target, and get out in almost every MMO that has them. Sns/BB Is exactly that and it does have counters.
Scream is a joke now. That’s the beauty of my build. When you retreat I’ve already done some damage to you. My FS fireball and exploding circle will do more and then I’ll chase you down with my speeding fire of death! Lol at the last one but I love getting a killshot with that.
Yes but it shouldn’t be a 1 shot combo. There should be no one shot combos. Also the light armor constant stamina dodging is broken too. Glad they’re doing some stam fixes.
All the melee builds are boring because melee combat has been boring since they ripped out stagger. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Like herpes or HPV.
I think that there should be one shot combos only because of the existence of light LS/RP
So I’m glad that both of these things are getting nerfed at the same time.
Isn’t it the grit that keeps on giving though?

Grit just makes the game boring and it’s not fair to all classes that one can just never be staggered.
