In this instance, you are able to hit someone even though they blocked the attack. A common way to dead-angle is by running to the side and hitting someone with a greatsword running attack. They are in the greatswords hitbox, since it is a 360 degree turn, but they can not guard it since you have to be in front of the greatsword in order to block it. So even though they have their shield up, they take damage.Raikan007 wrote:could someone please explain in detail what dead angling is?
Another good example is Wrath of the Gods. To dead-angle with it, all you have to do is simply cast it while your back is to the enemy. They can not block it unless they turn around themselves, which due to lag is near impossible, so it's either roll or get hit.
. It's not the most exciting moveset on a 16str/10dex build 2 handing it (swing sideways, kick, or overhead chop), but the dead-angling and sweeping hits without much tell before the swing starts where the unlocked wielder will swing it are very nice. Flattens a lot of PvE mobs too. I now understand why "the legend" uses a chaos zwei.
