Perforate not being able to cancel

General Discussion General Discussion

Why is it that you can´t interrupt the perforate animation.
Perforate is the only “more hits than one” animaton that is not cancelable.

For example, raging torrent can be interrupted by dodging, same with rapid shot or Crosscut.

Spear is in a good spot atm but being able to interrupt an animation that is basically a death sentence if used in wrong times. speaking of you heared the sweep sound and press perforate immediately but the target didn´t get sweeped…

I use spear but it’s honestly a strong ability that applies rend and can stagger.I think being able to cancel sends it over the top. However soear is in an awful spot. Most of the abilities like cyclone and especially sweep don’t register all the time despite target having no grit and clearly being hit by it.

just as rapid shot and crosscut? raging torrent also apply slow with the perk of it

Rapid shot wasn’t interruptible until like 6 months ago. I agree perforate should have the same treatment. One should be able to dodge out of the animation after the first thrust.

ouh yea mb

yep, and before that barely someone played that perk, because it was just was to easy to counter - same with perforate. especially with all the grit guys running around that are not affected by the stagger

It would be a quality improvement. But like I said it’s a pretty damn strong skill. It’s also a lot faster than cross out and rapid shot. If they mad it so you can cancel id slap ppl to hard. The fortify ability on the wrong is super underrated. Staggers are useless against str builds. Again one of many problems in this game

9

fortify on perf is super strong yea, but it already got hard nerfed since it disappears when switching to your secondary weapon

10

I think that’s the reason why they haven’t changed it, because it’s “quick” relative to all the other multi hit skills.

11

Yeah you’re right that is really annoying but how I’ve been playing it I try and commit to spear a bit more. I’ve been having fun with cyclone. A 50 percent slow with crippling on ring is fun and underrated. But the spear bugs make it difficult the hits not registering that is

Spear is barely played in wars and needs strong buffs to be slotted

Niche pick outperformed by many weapons

In fact spear right now (a) very good for pve, (b) ok to small scale pvp (c) bad in wars

I dont think the answer is dodge cancelling perforate, but it would help

13

i played spear and GS , and i would def support to make perforate cancelable and Crosscut not cancelable by dodge.
its makes more sense that way since you are suppose to be more swift with spear than greatsword
also Greatsword crosscut has grit and perforate does not.

And also skills can only be canceled by dodge but not blocking is bad.
And dodge is instant while blocking has windup animations, i have countless time blocking arrow ,having the blocked sound and effect but still taking dmg.

14

Sounds good, what abilities you using besides cyclone?

15

dodge it cancels it…

16

Umm perf and sweep. I use the fortify perf paired with shirk fort and I use fortified on the ammy

17

I’m still in disagreement in this. I said it last year and I’ll keep saying it

18

abiltiy with multi attack and no grit need dodge cancel, esp true on dex wep.

19

Use it at the correct time and it works fine

20

it is fine but not good enough, give it grit or cancel should make it better.
same as rapier flurry.
