Thread: can somone enlighten me to what the differances are to these 2 attacks swordsman have ?
area attack 1/2/3
both area attack both do area dmg ummmm why do we have 2 lines of area attacks that do the same thing.
or am i missing somthing vital
I think the spin attack 1/2 is more of a posture change attack, while the area attacks are more 'offensive' and could change the posture of a mob. Also, I believe that area attack 3 can dizzy and blind.
I think that the devs are planning to make Swordsmen attacks more 'interesting' in the upcoming combat passes

Somewhere, AreaAttack3 is described as being able to blind as well. I cannot honestly say that I have ever noticed a target being blinded with it.
I can say that it does dizzy quit well. However, Dizzy with any skill is a chance to happen. So it does not happen just because you use the attack.
Dizzy is does not just randomly happen with any attack, the attack has to have the ability to dizzy.
