strafe will surely get you stomped p quick - nobody uses it zvz

it's rare that a decent zon will let you jab them - however if you are engaged in a dance it has its place - well timed jab can 50-0 someone quick

yeah i remember successful jabs being utterly satisfying and i'd imagine the extra ow damage from swordback hits hard. niche ability. glad it still gets some play.

"Jab is rarely used"

i assume this means that, yes, it's still use, but rarely? that's pretty much what i remember from ten years ago.

i guess one difference is strafe has become a lot more popular in d2r. i'm not entirely sure what the devs changed re: strafe.


if you dont know what jab locking is that quote is for you

it doesnt work like it did in LoD :( unless I am misremembering

u cant straight swap from jab lock to GA you need to unsumm now after grabbing it - so either lf / unsumm or jab unsumm

my memory from lod was you could actually swap directly without keying unsummon but i havent been on LOD in time

i remember being able to hold namelock and switch between javs and bow-side by pressing a hotkey for one of your opposite-side spells (ga if switching to bow), then you could hit your weapon swap hotkey. it was a cool way to land around a dozen namelocked guideds

in d2r it doesnt let you select the jav side skills while u have bow out so you need to use something else. this worked in d2 lod cuz it would stop you from attacking and allow you to swap weapons. here u need to use something like unsummon to stop u from attacking

when ur running after someone with jav lock ur not actually in an attack frame so u can swap without unsummon even in d2r. I just tested it on monsters tho and it seems like u dont start shooting right after u swap. zon keeps running and only shoots once she reaches melee range. will have to check if it works the same in pvp
