    yesterday I remember an idea I had some time ago: Making WB something like Sasaki Kojiro's Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow cut). For those who don't know it, it is a technique made of 2 cuts: one donward and imediately one upwards (uppercut)

    Something like this:

    Tsubame Gaeshi

    (It could be retconned into an Akaviri or Ra Gada technique)

    I would love to see this, great idea!

    I wouldn’t say make wrecking instant I am a huge fan of 2H weapons what I would rather see is since 2H is a slower style compared to dw how about changing it up to make it a heavy attack weave weapon you swing slower so a wb into a heavy attack should be hard hitting and this wouldn’t really help or make 2h op in pvp becuz 2h is very telegraphed so it will be dodgeable but 2h should be set apart that if you do land the hit the other player or enemy in pve should really feel it


    I hope people get what I’m trying to say here

    Nah, unfortunately the big issue with both wrecking blow and dizzy swing is how slow and easy to dodge, block or just move out of the way. Dizzy swing at least gives you a CC. WB needs to be something else.

    By making them both instant. You will get one morph that empowers the next attacks with no cc, while the other had no empowerment but a CC instead. There is a trade off of both morph but each one has a use/function.

    That’s how it was with the original wrecking blow but yet they still went and changed it to what we have now my suggestion is basically saying yes keep 2H a slow swinging weapon type but make it more impactful when you manage to connect both pve and pvp. This is an attempt to bring weapon equality between DW and 2H. Competitively on a stam dps you would go DW. DW is fast 2h is not the time it takes to wind up a 2H is already a few hits from dw. What I’m getting at is the time it takes to wind up that 2H attack should deal comparable damage to the multiple hits of DW. 2H also suffers that it doesn’t have a weapon that increases crit chance.

    Totally agree, their should be a cc variant and an instant variant (with adjusted dmg). 2h light and heavy attacks are slow enough compared to dual wield for them to be differentiated.
