spam spam

Has anyone else noticed that people seem to attack twice in rapid succession, despite the fact that you blocked their attack.

I was fighting someone, we both had Bardiches so stun was definitely not a factor. I swung at him, he blocked, he swung at me, I blocked, I swung at him... and he killed me with an ultra fast attack. This happens all the time to me.

Am I missing something here or is this a bug?

He probably made a right attack, which is the fastest while you made a different one.
Furthermore I guess he turned to make his attack connect earlier, but that has always the risk
to get a heavy negative modifier and thus doing low or no damage.

i gotta say
today you killed me like 7 time with extremely fast attacks
and the reason I'm spamming attack it's because the ping
it's like you're 2 feet away from me and then supprise! I'm dead

I was just using that example as it was the most recent and we were both using identical weapons.

Have you ever thought that the weapon proficiencies of your characters could have been a factor? If his class had a higher proficiency in 2 handers, he can hit slightly faster.

Same class, proficiencies weren't a factor.

I would say that it is a case of the person swinging thier view in the direction of the swing then. I know one person who helicopter spams constantly on the Aussie servers, and it makes him very hard to hit in between swings.

I found it much easier to block spear spammers when I stopped walking in their right swing.
I think it depends on several factors whether you can block the attacks. I got to do some testing.
