Backstab going through block (BUG. XD)

edited April 2018 in TERA PC - General Discussion

I'm not exactly sure if this is a bug, or completely intentional, as I haven't seen it on any patch notes.
Seriously hoping this is patched out, it kills any kind of 1v1 for every single blocking class.
This also applies so smoke flanker and slayer backstab.
probably valk too with all the spaghetti code in this game

    The backstab has always be that way, maybe it dooes not damage but playing more than 4 years I have always gone throught blocks.

    Edit: If you mean they should not stagger, root or damage when blocking then yeah, they shouldnt.

    They completely ignore blocking, of any kind. There's 0 counterplay to it. This happened after apex patch, so this is new. The issue isnt with the functionality of backstab itself, it's this bug that makes it unblockable.

    U can iframe backstab though..

    May get flak for this but.... Isn't this change making shield block range a bit more realistic? As in, it now blocks only where it's being pointed at? *waits for the rotten tomatoes...*

    who the [filtered] would realistically iframe an instantaneous stun with absolutely no cast animation consistently?

    That's literally saying you should leave duels up to rng. You either miraculously iframe at the same time they backstab, or u [filtered] lose the duel.

    Well block has always been like that. but it doesnt matter if you're blocking or not, or where you're blocking when backstab literally ignores it, stunning you anyways.
    Not every class has something like tenacity, a lancer would have to rely on block, but instead now, would just get combod for 60-70% of their health becuase there is no counter to backstab

    Was mostly throwing it on the joke side. There shouldn't be undefendable moves in pvp, as that would make it unfair. Do all backstab-esque skills show the same behavior? I don't remember if the slayer version has any stun.

    I do. Are u implying i'm godlike or something? Coz im not..

    Instead of throwing tantrum in here, the general discussion forum.. Why don't u and OP make a thread in pvp discussion forum and ask real advice from real pvper? I'm sure that they are more that happy to share their awesome techniques on dealing with backstab. I heard there is another trick where u just jumps around and get knocked down instead of stun. Hmm..

    Slayer backstab can be predicted as it has a delay unlike warriors.

    KDing yourself in duels is from what I know BM, but being a insta backstab scrub is also BM sooooooo...
