Sideswipe idea

[Xenyar]

How about being able to aim at which target with sidewswipe....we can dirt kick 2., we can bash 3., etc....What about being able to do that with sideswipe?

Doing that would allow characters to initiate with sideswipe as well. We'd need to discuss the implications of that.

[Ergorion]

Initiating with sideswipe would be an interesting gamble. Unless you look first and know you've got it, there's a chance you'll get burned. I kind of like it.

Honestly that is so far remotely removed from reasonable that it kneels on the ground like superman, makes like a shockwave with its fist, then loops around the planet 3 times (due to passing the entire circumference of the globe) and shoots off into space like a comet and never comes back, because it ended up in Thanos's glove.

sideswipe -> lag, winding kick. Almost guaranteed. This is why overhead has a windup. Dont underestimate one-handed damage, especially when your opponent is possibly unsanced and forced to sit there. And that goes double for group ganks. Everybody would be forced to wear shields immediately because chance to react and not eat an uber combat style skill has been removed.

I've nerfed the damage TWICE on sideswipe and it still rocks hard.

[Olyn]

I think the winding kick attempt is gone, so it's more like a more reliable form of bash if conditions are met.

[Davairus]

Oh. That isn't as unreasonable.
