Sorry, been playing for a long time but new to melee, what is the difference between these 2 attacks, they have the same discription. Anyone know? The animation is different, but is one more damaging than the other? more effective for a posture change?

Sweep is for a Single enemy, Area is for Multiple Enemies.... both do the same posture change type attack though.

The description on both says "area" meaning multiple, the first sweep is single target, the second is multiple. When I use it against a group I often get the "your attack failed to change your targets posture" message, and it gives the message for as many oponents are in range of the attack (if I hit the attack before the timer runs out).
So, they are both area attacks, both are made to lower posture, still don't know why we would have 2 attacks that do the same thing, unless maybe one is faster, uses less ham, does more damage or has a greater chance of changing posture.
Now, area attack 3 I understand, because it adds the chance to blind the enemy, so it is unique, just hopeing there is a reason for area 2 and sweep 2.
