CrossGuard vs Guard (After May's 2017 Combat Patch)

Wow…seriously IMC?

CrossGuard has absolutely no delay when guarding. yes, it cost SP to do it. BUT its instant. After you let go of the key, you can instantly guard again without any delay or waiting.

BUT for those who are guarding with a shield, after you let go, there is this solid 3 secs of waiting before you can guard again. I thought the only change would be that we wouldn’t be able to guard from physical attacks 100% of the time. But no…adding a 3 secs delay after each time of ‘Guard’ was a splendid idea.

IMC Logic. :astonished:

I tried Cross guard on my Doppel (300+ STR), and i have more Block than my Rodelero With 200 CON ( without buffs like high guard etcc)

i read somewhere this shield guard delay is meant to be only for in TBL. hopefully they get it fixed soon ASAP. was expecting it in Tuesday’s Maintainence Patch - didn’t have it. zzzzzzz…

Why should anybody use Shield guard in duns?
To loose aggro instantly after sw?

Crossguard scales with Str…

Beforehand you could use it flexibly between all your attacks to time it on a boss attack. Take mission Poata for example, who just constantly spams the knockback claw attack. You could keep fighting and just hit that C button once every time poata attacks.

You can’t do that anymore. You CAN with Crossguard, which is the nonsensical part here. A guarding skill that does nothing BUT guard is worse than a guard skill that has additional effects.
