Lets say you parry something with a rapier (community agreed intelligent weapon, under powered, underused, no usable exploits, dexterity useless in anything but one of one and much much much Much more useless weapon @Zin_Ramu you need to hear this) and while the opponent is stunned and you hit them right away they are free to move.
Let say you freeze something with a ice gauntlet (community agreed braindead weapon, easily exploitable in the past, current and foreseeable future and much much Much more) and while the opponent is frozen and cannot move and you hit them right away and they still can’t move so you can just left click spam to death.
I agree that the perk where light attacks root people in the AOE needs to be tweaked. Maybe an even more slow or something. This game as FAR too much CC for how little of variety it has. That’s why at this point in time half the player base is gaxe/gammer and the other half is mage.
i wish you could parry with anything. I personally feel like they try to have dark souls combat (with abilities albeit) and since they go half way with it, it feels distasteful
