You sure it's not an FPS issue? It's really unoptimized right now. Choppy fps is going to make melee hard for sure. If you're able to kill moving targets with the Stalker then it's probably FPS rather than network latency.
Well, I hope it is unoptimized and that they will improve it.
Im getting freezes and fps drops now and again but that goes for almost everyone so its not the main culprit.
Really frustrating how ineffective I seem to be at times. Shooting a marine for a good a few moments only to have them practically insta-kill me when they pay attention. Especially in melee, I know there is some nuance involved but for all my encounters im stun-locked the moment a sword touches me and dead in a blink. If I try to melee my swings seem to graze em before they nail me back without a sweat.
I know there are guides but is there any key secret to this? Ive tried defensive bash but its a slow animation which rarely does anything for me.
Maybe I am just that millisecond out of sync with everyone.
And im going to drop the stalkerbolter for now, the damage/TTK ratio is too unfavorable at the moment. At a distance its very simple for the enemy to hide after the first few shots. Close distance im better off with the meatier damage dealers.
