Patch 1.3 broken

I have no clue what’s going on. After 1.3, training with Bernard is a nightmare. The only weapon I can riposte with is a longsword. Short sword, axe, and mace are nearly useless. What happened? This was probably the least buggy part of the whole game before the patch, now this and the entire combat system is pretty much broken unless I solely use a longsword the entire game. Will there be another patch before 1.4? Or is this going to be fixed in 1.4?
