Holy Chamber Blocking Batman!

[EdwardWellcraft]

This is mostly just a venting thread.

Sometimes I feel like the bots are ridiculously good at chamberblocking. I had a looter chamber block a lance thrust with his falchion five times in a row today. I also had one arena fight with a sword and shield user where he got 4 or 5 chamber blocks in, in addition to blocking my other swings. I did eventually kill him but it was a harder fight than most multiplayer duels.

I guess I should be glad that the bots can occasionally put up a fight now, if only by luck, but what an annoying way for them to get lucky.

its a technique you can use by pressing alt + x in combat, which parries their blow and gives you a free hit

... I hope you guys are joking... But anyway a chamber block, or chambering as it is sometimes referred to, is when you attack them, and they attack to where their weapon hits yours, canceling out your attack while theirs is still going. It is quite annoying against npcs, and one thing I've also noticed is that I can't kick them anymore.  They swerve back and forth in their weapons range, to where I can't kick them anymore. Darn those npcs for learning to avoid getting nard kicked.

Edit: Nice Used.

If you time it right, when you draw your blade back for a swing it can block an opponent's incoming swing. Easiest way to do it is to think of it as manual blocking, but hit the attack button rather than block and do it just in time to block the blow.

Great way to deal with two handers, since you can usually complete the attack before they can recover to block.
