GAV
Resolution through knowledge and resolve.
Walk me through it.There are several ways out of each one of wardens options and so the warden is at a disadvantage odds wise. Sure the bash make the opponent have to make a read, but the reads are still tilted in their favor.
Warden initiates Bash...
Opponent attacks - Warden lets Bash loose - Bash hits - Warden follows up for guaranteed damage and starts Bash up again.
Opponent Guard Breaks - same outcome as above...
Opponent backs off. Nothing happens.
Opponent waits...
Warden lets Bash loose. Player dodges...
Warden cancels out into a Guard Break. Player counters Guard Break which ends in a reset.
Warden cancels out of Bash and player is attacking. Warden parries high.
When the Warden cancels out, there is no delay - so he can GB or parry accordingly while the opposition must guess.
Now, I'm on 1.05 on consoles. I don't know if 1.06 provided balance or not.
