Feinting

[Invisinerd]

I have noticed that many enemies in the game will employ a feinting strategy in melee combat. They will begin an attack and then suddenly stop it and shift to a different one. I have tryed several times to figure out how to do this as it is very effective against me when I have to change my defensive posture with each attack shift. Does anyone know how that is done?

Right mouse click/change shield button with your weapon readied

But you'll find that you still can't do it as effectively as the AI

Sure you can, just not at normal game speed - tape F9 down (or use HotKeys), turn the graphics reqs waaay up, or exchange your graphics card for a crappy one like mine and you'll swingin like Dranton and feinting (maybe some fainting, too) like Xerina*!
