Go for da soft Spot/Relentless Strike

Post#1 » Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:27 pm

These 2 abillties seem to bug out alot when it comes to the possiitioning.
It clearly says that i can cast it then nothing happen and i get the required possitioning error.
I brought it up in ad chat and it seems like alot of these positioinal abillties don't fire off properly or bonus dmg don't happen even if they clearly meet the requirement on screen. WE/WH got fainted positioning to kinda deal with this problem. And Mara and WL still gets moast of their abillties of even if they might not get the bonus.

So here's my sugestion to CH/SL abillties.
Merge Relentless Strike with Spine Crusher. If the target is hit from behind you get SC. If you hit from front or sides. RS
Same thing for Choppas Throat Slasha and Go for da Soft spot.

nerfed buttons already "kinda" does that for you but yeah you could just make them one ability with a damage bonus for attacking from the back

but my god is it frustrating to see your character do that for you with looping animations waving their arms

I tried it once on NB. Removed it immediately because it was incredibly unreliable. Probably something to do with my location...I wonder if NA has the same issues with this skill? If so, it must be a ping thing, and not much can be done about it. The only thing i can think of is making it usable from the sides of your target as well, but it might make the skill a tad too strong.

NB shouldn't exist in the first place.

I've tried it with NB aswell and the problem is still there.
Shows up as castble then press it and nothing happens.
Theres no dmg bonus on SC or GFDSS actually the base dmg on those are lower then on RS/TS they are just a bit more bursty.

Call me naive, but do a lot of people use this? i remember trying it on Live and couldn't believe how much of a cheat the addon was! i removed it because i didn't want to get dependant on it as i assumed one day it would get banned.

I am constantly hitting what looks like my opponents back but getting front damage on the WH. It is most certainly my ping. I wonder if the ping equation accounts for positioning and distance or just distance.

I never used NB, but I assume it would help to maintain certain multibutton classes playable(BG for example). Putting more action bars under one button doesnt seem to me "cheaty". Or does addon have any side effects?

Id be all for changing it for the specific reason that this (and other positionals) are one of the few ways you can gain a real advantage in this game with an add on. And short of banning specific add ons (is that possible?), changing it to be something other than a positional could be a nice bandaid til a better solution is found.

Unless, of course, you can just ban NB. Thatd be great too, but I have no idea how difficult that is on the technical side.
