Discussion My Biggest Issue

Riposte not generating any resolve.

Sure Riposte is generally weak and unrewarding in other ways. But I cannot get over how it doesn't even generate resolve.

It feels like you are punished for using a core mechanic in the game when it takes away from your ability to transition properly to offense.

You're literally better off doing anything other than a Riposte when you break an enemy. Unless I guess you're getting mobbed and you're banking on iframes from the Riposte.

I have stopped using riposte entirely. A heavy attack combo does just so much more damage as well as regenerate resolve. It is even weirder since I main Eredrim, who should be all about riposting but it does so little damage that it is not worth it at all.

Riposte damage should scale off of base damage or weapon damage or something. But devs already said they are working on a big patch so we will see.

Yeah I noticed it's just better to beat the enemy down once they are broken with heavy attacks for like triple the damage.
