GS is basically king Arthur from smite

I dont understand why you have to aim ranged attacks in new world while the melee (used to have to aim) is just lock on auto aim lunge dry hump now…
And im not even a ranged class complaining about it…i play a melee char lol. Bring back the old melee combat where you had to aim!
Melee homing is busted, agreed.
You still need to aim though.
Not like you did in alpha🛌 the combat was so fun back then now its just dry hump homing melee and ranged gets shafted (aside from musket hitscan) which imo also doesnt fit in the game when every other ranged has to lead their target
I think there is a lot of room for counter play and if you watch for onslaught stance, and you counter while they’re in it. you get free BIG DAMAGE

you aren’t going to out trade a light GS, you are nuts if you think that.
I smell fake advertiaing ;D every smart range player will take mele wepon to block leap and sheeld bach+ you kiling 50 con players
Because they’re playing wrong. If you’ve received damage, that’s not the time to try and escape, that’s the time to fight
Literally wasting all your stamina and stam locking yourself is a death sentence, instead use your stamina to iFrame as intended and avoid that damage
I don’t value shield bash perk very much, a dead player doesn’t have buffs. The relentless freedom is a must though and the skyward nullification is an A tier perk to cleanse defy death

well guys… i just fought a friend Batheos who played musket rapier. and i got dumpster on… even when i got the jump on him first. xDD
You cannot exactly fight back, though. A range player cannot trade hits with a melee. The melee player will hit significantly harder. At the end of the video, there is a musket with like 80% health and the GS had like 10% by the time the GS closed the gap, and the musket was dead in a few hits.
Additionally, you cannot simply dodge backwards and fire a shot, and dodge again. You cannot do that because you will always be in tracking distance with just one dodge. You need at least 2 consecutive dodges to get out of melee tracking range. If, however, you get hit with a melee attack, you can dodge 3 times consecutively and still be in melee tracking range.
Once a melee closes the gap, it should be this duel that happens in a confined space. Both parties should be able to fight. If a spear, WH, hatchet, GA or rapier closes the gap that is what happens more or less. It’s a fight.
When a GS or S&S closes the gap it doesn’t end up working that way, though. There is something different about how the S&S and GS play compared to the other melee weapons currently.

A 5/50 con player is at a disadvantage yes, but that’s the risk of playing low con. Unfortunately musket “needs” 300/150.
GS has minimal grit attacks and no stuns, if they use Crosscut you can escape easily and Roaring/Calamity have 0 chase with huge tells.
Try FnF, it messes up their melee homing easily, you do damage, stagger them twice allowing you to roll freely full distance while they’re penalized 20% from receiving melee damage. There’s other options too but that’s what makes me as a HA/GS restart the chase. Big brains shield bash it but it’s hard to see it coming when your hit with flourish you’ve already lost. RP using FnF/Fleche/Evade, shout-out to Young Wu who as a bow/RP player always puts up an incredible right while others crumble in 5 actions or less
I think we need a stamina blocking stability adjustments to enforce blocking to reposition, without 1 block costing 50+ stamina

Its just an assassin build, its nothing compared to SnS/hatchet or SnS/BB was. Hes just deleting low con players that probably dont know how to play. If someone farts on you during onslaught stance in light armror your dead.

Bs they cant… Each of this weapon does kill light armor with out option to respond. If you combine them, then even if you play with your face rolling over LMB you will kill each and every light armor player. Even best in their class.
You dont know how to play. Mele is so broken that top range players have to swap to GS or completly change build couse you cant play vs mele ss, hatchet, gs. And GS with proper build does 3 shot any light armor with 200con and BIS items.
Tbagin a musket player with 5 CON, while playing SnS & Gereat Sword lol… Btw do you have some PvP vs mage player ? i think it would be intresting to see how it goes with your 500 elemental resist.
What server is that ? It seems to be only player with low CON and being 3 shots.
NA server ?
Wut? I never get one shoted by 1 gs combo and i have 200 con bow gs build, problem is ppl have no idea how play agains gs, just wait for him ise ability and dodge, waisting his abilitys and he will run away like 90% hatchet ss gs players ;D
You easy will kill noobs not good players, good players know how to counter easy ss gs
Wat first ss ability? Leap strike mate, so just block ;D wat next? He will maybe roolly polly to you to close gap? And use sheeld bach yea? Again just block ;D he change to gs? Wait for him to use abilitys and juat dodge, do not try out dps gs,
I do know how to play lol. Its the reason i dont use greatsword with light armor because its trash.
Theres nothing special about that build and if a dex user saw him coming he would be dead.
If he did it to a mage he would also be dead. you can just ice tomb and roll away.
Do it to a hammer boy and again stun locked to death.
Everything in that video can be done better with different weapons.
Go put on a SnS in light armor and equip a spear, you will kill them even faster.
Lets call it what it is, a binch of butthurt dex players with no con and no situational awareness getting jumped from behind.

i dont knwo what OP is talking about, there is no 100 to 0 combo at all, just nuke noobs.
for 1st fight in the showcase #1, when the dex get rush.bash, heavy.
he is bad as he never pay attention to his back as a dex and stayed away from his teamate.
but even then, he should just swap to spear and block the 1st hit of skyward,and then sweap the 2nd hit, as it has no grit.
that move alone will take OP 1/3 HP since he is in 15% selfrend.
poor guys just dont know what to do with the GS as its very new.
he even stand still after rooted by the relentless rush and ate the following heavy attack for free.
