Combo mechanics

If the 1.8 PVP community is to be recaptured, then it's going to have to take more than a good weapon balance. What makes 1.8 so fun for players is the combo mechanic. Perhaps a successfully landed hit while sprinting could allow the player to read-up more quickly or have a slight reach increase. If a player is hit by another player who was sprinting with a fully charged whack would not only take knockback, but have their ready-up time increased or reach decreased.

These changes would put emphasis back onto movement skills and allow for combos while keeping the timing mechanics intact and maintaining fair gameplay across multiple platforms.

    Have you played the new combat in multiplayer ? Combos are a thing, and it works pretty much the same way as it did in 1.8.

    Being able to launch multiple strikes in quick succession is a fun mechanic if balanced right. I had an idea a little while ago for implementing combos as "bursts" of light attacks; basically instead of there being a cooldown between each attack, there would be a cooldown between every three* (not fully-charged) attacks. The tradeoff could be that the burst attacks would do slightly less damage, and wouldn't do damage if your opponent is blocking. Maybe you'd have to to a fully-charged attack to knock aside someone's shield (or "break their guard.") I figured that this could perhaps provide a balance between the two systems?

    *Perhaps this number could be different for each weapon, or be altered using enchantments.

    Tratar de mejorar el combate del pvp seria el sueño de muchos .Seria genial poder tener combos de ataque como el daño de critico, con salto y golpe en la cabeza que generaría el daño completo del arma a una unidad. O otra podría ser el combo de espada y hacha que intercambiaría daño entre un arma y otra que generaría daño conjunto
