I Don't Understand Breakaway.

Like, I get it mentally. You have to do dmg/take damage to reset it, otherwise it takes longer to get it everytime its used.

But that doesn't seem to apply to the people I fight half the time. Its always 2, maybe 3 hits, then they Breakaway.

I meanwhile, will get one or two in a fight, and then it takes so long to get the next one I'm stunlocked and dead. This will be after landing hits.

Something about it just doesn't make sense to me. Clearly I am missing something, it's something I intellectually understand the concept of, yet clearly just cannot get the hang of/wrap my head around.
