I distinctly remember for the knights before Dancer, you parried the blue cape guy, then stuck your hand in his chest for 630 damage. Then that cathedral knight before the elevator too >.>
But yeah, that cast time, you'd have to be insanely lucky to actually get it off, or they'd already have to be staggered.
Yeah normally you toss a normal spell out or use a fast attack to try and get some one to roll towards you. You can still turn while it is casting so if the person even tries to roll the grip homes in on them. I've gotten a few invaders that way. They roll to avoid a fire orb only to end up getting grabbed and then gibbed. I mean that thing did over 900 damage to you and my INT/Faith is only like 42.
That's also the first spell/ability that's supposed to bypass shields that has actually bypassed Great Magic Shield, though I still need to test player shotels/magical shotels etc. Not many people seem to be into those though.
Edit: I also haven't fought anybody who's used a sword stance guard break, most people seem to go for abilities that deal damage or do something strange/gimmicky.
Got to the castle in DS2. Put the old soapstone down and noticed that there seem to be variations of the boss fight. Sometimes we just fight 2 knight-style characters, other times a crazy skeleton/witch lady follows that up.
Is this something that is easy to end up missing out on, like not getting the special cutscene with Sif?
Right after I am praising that boss's virtues too /sulk
It only happens in games where the host is lagging super hard. I've had it happen once but only when the host was sliding/teleporting all over the place from what I hope was lag.
