Thread: area3 does work now, still testing it
Before area3 didn't work and was only using the area2 attack but with more ham costs. Right now, I've been currently testing the difference of area2 and area3. So far area3 is working properly except for the added dmg it's supposed to have. It's not blinding like the description says. It actually dizzies which I feel is a better combo with the posture down since it is a possible knockdown, just not certain, so it's not a cheap move. I hope tomorrow's patch with the change in ham costs helps this attack because this attack takes massive action. Hopefully the devs don't count posture downs as knockdown and make the ham costs even worse for our area attacks. The dmg for area3 doesn't seem to be any different from area2, still testing. Hopefully the dmg is more like it is supposed to be.
On a side note, 2handhit3 does dizzy like the strategy guide says. On occasion it will dizzy. The strategy guide says that area3 does dizzy like it is doing now after testing, but the description says it's supposed to blind. I however like dizzy =). Be back in a little with damage testing results. Hopefully area3 does do more dmg than area2.
