Double time D swing

Ran into a few instances last night of getting face smashed by super fast D Swing spam. Like 2-3 dswings per second. Whole evening turned into 80%+ block casting any time a 2h came my way.

Dsync? New animation cancelling?

I assumed dsyncs as with so many snipe spams, but it was quite consistent. Haven't logged into a stam toon to try and replicate myself yet.

    I am suspecting the fix to gap closers rubberbanding you is that the game is catching up to the player rather than snapping the player back to the game, so it says "oh! You are here now and activated 3 dizzy swings since I lost you. Here they are!"

    Maybe? It was definitely something that felt new. It was especially prevalent in IC. Which, speaking to that possibility, did have it's issues with gap closers earlier this year.

    It's likely he was just medium attack weaving, with the new changes to empower its not uncommon.

    This is a likely situation. The game, the server, has a limit of one skill per ~one second and that cannot be overridden.

    No. It's possible to pull that off if you spam dizzy swing. If you spam dizzy swing, you get stuck in a loop, and you can pretty much hit that ability per second. Easy to do on tankier npcs, less so on players obviously, but it can happen.

    Light attack weaving makes this happen more frequently I think. That dizzy swing loop doesn't happen all the time though. It's just animation canceling at the end of the day.
