To be clear, VB does have the same thing, it just doesn’t work right. It’s been broken since it’s release unfortunately. Not only it doesn’t work right, it absolutely goes spastic at times.

I honestly think that the issue with GS tracking is the attack speed of onslaught tree. In defiant I’ve only noticed the lunge on the overhead strike part of the heavy combo, which doesn’t come up fast enough to actually stay on top of someone running away from me. But yeah, I definitely feel the lunge and can see how it’s oppressive if the attacks are flying out at mach speed, and nerfing it might be the best bet. Defiant tree would just be acceptable collateral damage.
Albion has a lot of mage support builds.
They use stamina and bow attacks are faster 
Scott lane has said a few times in videos he plays musket. So not sure how true that statement is.
They use stamina yes, but there’s so much built in stamina regen with GS it doesn’t matter.
There’s one passive that gives you 25 stamina over 5 seconds (10sec CD) and there’s steadfast strike which gives you 29 Stam for each hit. Most people don’t use steadfast strike(mistake I think). But I can currently get waaaaaay more Regen with a rapier using tondo.
It’s 10 stamina per attack after a dodge. Attacks in onslaught cost 10 stamina. Couple that with strength stamina regen. It’s free homie.
Forgot about that one. So basically it requires you to use 50 or 40 stamina for your attacks to get 10 Stam back if they hit 
.
Rapier still beats it with passive Stam Regen though.
By a lot.
Rapier skills aren’t burst, and you won’t be hitting as hard. You’re acting like your stamina isn’t recharging as you heavy attack, or use an ability.
Is it recharging like this though?
This is just Regen from the rapier I was blocking so my natural stam Regen didn’t kick in.
Rapier has burst combos what?
One of which is probably the highest single target dmg you can get in the game if set up properly.
If set up properly. Takes a lot longer to set up than just skyward, rush, and a few heavy attacks lmao
Potentially, and will still do more dmg
Also doesn’t have grit.
Flourish n finish has grit. Might just be the flourish part tbh, but if you staggered the enemy that wouldn’t matter
Anyway my point was that a lot of weapons have good Stam regen
Rapier doesn’t do as much damage as a GS bro. Onslaught gets 15% damage and faster heavies, that’s why it’s the highest dps in the game. Smh
DPS and burst are different things
Greatsword has both. The skills themselves are part of the burst.
As fast as those heavies fly out, yes. It’s burst.
Lol experience? Ive played fs/ig since launch. I played ss/gs for a day I can say its completely busted. I can literally hold someone in one spot, abilities will never go off for them. oh you got that burning rush off… good lucky my shield bash just connected from 2 miles away and my slow is still on you. Melee over tuned for the stupidity it takes to play it.
