Sweep should knock down anyone if you actually connect. When you fail to knock someone down with the sweep you are left vulnerable. Just because left click joe has grit up all the time doesn’t mean he should be immune to cc.

I main GA/WH and the game would honestly play better without grit. Even in cluttered wars.

Totally agree and for the pve side there should be a perk that allows to knock down larger mobs but not including big bosses

thats why u stun them first or time ur sweep between their lights, theres a point after 2 lights where they are left vulnerable, there are plenty of ways to counter grit with spear if ur not just spamming abilities like a pve’er. spear also has insane dmg output when paired with perf.

Only if you jump the gun and coup de grace after you miss, really
Stuns, roots. It’s really annoying but you have to wait to sweep after they use a skill such as shockwave, charge, reap, ect. Otherwise they’re very likely to just dodge it or have grit up.
that too, ur not really left that vulnerable if u dont follow with coup
Honestly if you’re in medium and you have a spear with fort perf + thwarting counter + that “more damage vs grit” passive. You’re going to destroy a 300str user in trades.

I too wish stagger would come back

everyone run freedom and resilient these day. So you dont have time to stun and use sweep. Making the combo useless.
yes you do… are you that slow with the sweep follow up u cant pull it off?
Not entirely true.
Tho the non-grit time is there, everyone is animation cancelling right after the 2nd swing, so you have targets either gritted or iframed.
The game became so… stagnant. It’s either light rolls or medium swing-swing-dodge for grit/iframes.
It’s tight, but time is enough.
Grit is an issue. Hard to balance some str build couse of it. But i don’t think mele would work ok with out it.
Amazon should consider adding weak version of grit (with some CD) or sth like that to str.
And move current version to 300 con.
So you can chose to build bruser with 300 str and it would work but you cant stay on your feet forever. At some point you will land on ground.
And you can build full tank where you are always standing hard on your feets and taking dmg into your shield or whatever.
Actually he has a point there. 5 freedom and you can even light attacks after a vault kick.
Well might be desync cause most of the time they get a dodge out of the sweep. So tell me that input lag is not into the matter here and I will believe you.
No, wait, this is entirely something different.
They are exploiting the weapon switch but when you are knocked down.
That’s why wrecking ball, sweep, javelin throw and any other knockdown effect skill are 50% useless, as they can just recover instantly from the knockdown, makiing the second stage of your skill useless while you are animation locked like with coup de grace.

could be, because ive tested with someone who has 5 freedom and they werent able to escape the sweep in a practical duel setting most of the time, but the stun is VERY short so I wouldnt blame anyone for missing it, but it is possible under most conditions. Before that there wasnt a time I stunned and wasnt able to sweep on time unless I was interrupted. Most of the time if u can land the kick you should still have time to land a sweep.
