I’ve already made a thread about this before, but I feel that simply explaining it in the OP doesn’t do justice, so I made a video demonstrating just how egregious it is, and I’ve listed it under “Bugs” to hopefully get the attention of the developers.
Here’s a Webm of it:
Here’s a Youtube of it for those who prefer it this way:
Keep in mind this video is taken in the training arena with wooden axes. Even with a wooden bludgeon the trainer goes down in about 5 hits to the head using this method, and out in the field with a powerful blunt weapon like the Raven’s Beak or the Bailiff’s Mace you will one hit kill most of the enemies in the game, and there isn’t an enemy that can withstand it twice in the game at all.
This combo trivializes combat and needs to be fixed. The method involves right clicking quickly in a clinch, as it moves them less far away than left clicking, and then it’s simply a matter of quickly closing the gap for a guaranteed hit to wherever you please.
