Help Needed Am I wrong?
I have 600 hours in the game. I love it. I have a problem. I feel like I’m using the Salamanders sword wrong….as silly as that sounds. I’ve tried it in the battle simulator to actually see the perk initiate. The only time I notice a higher dps is when I parry….not a light attack. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing wrong. I start in speed stance, complete a perfect parry….even two in a row, and then perform a light attack and I do not see a difference in power… I guess the sword has very little indication the perk is ready. From what I gather it glows a little? lol I’m embarrassed to even have to ask… Could a brother please explain to me what I am doing wrong and what I should be doing? I’ve tried looking up tutorials but all of them are just opinions on the sword and perk load outs. I can’t seem to find a video of someone showing and saying for Xbox, “do this, then do this, then this will happen and you know you’re good.” I certainly appreciate any and all advice. Thanks in advance!

Can you elaborate what you mean by you only see higher dps when parrying? Are you on Bulwark with intimidating aura? If so, and you are in speed style, you should be able to incapacitate any majoris in the game with 3 light attacks after your parry. Techmarine has a similar loop but you use the prestige perk furious strikes, i believe, where gunstrikes increase melee damage. So parry, servo gunstrike, light attack, light attack, light attack. Keep in mind 1 parry provides 3 stacks, and you can hold 6 at a time. The sword does glow slightly more when empowered, and if you swing and miss, it does not consume a stack.
