How tf do people play in 3rd person, id never know when to parry lol

I wondered the same thing! This was actually only my second life playing in 3rd person, I was pretty damn happy with how it turned out. I didn't think I'd be able to read people as well but I was surprised by quite the opposite!

Seems harder to time attacks/parries without 1st but hey whatever works for you!

Actually you get used to it pretty fast and you see the enemies attacking you from the sides as well as the path of your weapon so you can sidestep for some unexpected hits. For Frontlines I would never use FP. It's harder to read people with small weapons directly ahead of you as your body obstructs the view though. Still I hate getting yeeted from the back without realizing it, so that's why I use 3rd for matches where I can get 2vs1'ed. Yeash especially in those one vs many moments i'm thankful to see a little bit more.

The more I see maul, the more certain I am that it's too fast. That thrust is absurd.

I'm familiar with it. The issue with it and arming sword (which, sadly I do use) is their recovery time from being parried combined with their short attack delay.

Wait is there a problem with the arming sword? At the beginning it was the best sword I could afford but now I use the bill hook. Still lose almost every fight but I do have more kills now.

Similar stats, but slightly less reach and speed. The difference is minor. In return, it does more swing damage and just about the same thrust damage. It's a power house.

I love how you lean when you're attacking. I'm the same lol.

This game (and Chiv) have been the only games to make me lean. There's something so visceral about the combat that gets my whole body engaged!

It's funny because I 100% can't even feel that I'm doing it while I'm playing hahaha!

This is why i follow people around who are using hammers. They throw some serious game like 90% of the time
