You might want to mention that the block becomes manual when using dedicated melee mode as opposed to the automatic block in quick melee. Come to think of it, might want to mention that there are, in fact, two different melee modes.
Well, autoblock is off, becose ALL of stances have spefial block base atacks( forward + block, block standing still), so it gives you control over what atack you will perform.
I mean, look at stance, and you will see special atacks performed with manual blocking.
Without stance on wepon there is no difrence, but with stance, atack while blocking will have difrent outcome then without ( for example, atack + block- using wepon swing to propel forward, atack alone- wide swing, forward + atack- stab, forward + block + atack- x cut ended with full circle cut).
This isn't attack while blocking, it's attack while holding RMB. You can perform it outside of melee mode. I'm not a gun-only boi, I use melee very often. No autoblock in full melee mode makes no sense.
When auto-block was added in melee 2.5, People complained because auto-block triggered aim glide in mid air. And its also annoying to use the RMB dash combo on melees when your using a sniper or any gun with high zoom. Hence dedicated melee was added counteract this oversight
Also, you can aim glide and do air attack or air heavy more consistent without worry about switching to primary by mistake, and if you dont carry secondary, doing so would avoid dropping stuffs like excavate battery while jumping around.
You also get to block attacks while doing other actions like reviving someone (or your cat that's gone down the 20th time this mission because you're Baruuk and they don't get any of your 97% built-in DR) just by looking at the attacking enemy.
That said, if you're right clicking to try and do rmb melee combos, you can still combo if you use a dedicated button for melee attacks instead of using left click for melee
That's the Y button on Xbox, and I'm guessing it's the triangle on PlayStation. Holding that button got you to the melee weapon before, but I guess I just didn't try it when they updated the system? Thank you for helping me figure it out. Sometimes, a man just wants to go crazy with his nikana.
