First, I apologize if this isn't the right sub-forum. This is sort of a question and sort of a bug report, and I bring it up because I'm surprised I haven't seen any discussion about it yet.

August 14th: 3 second reactive style window

Original DAoC Patch note from 1.82:
- Reactionary combat styles now provide a 3 second window in which the player may use the style. When a reactionary style is available for use (such as after you block your target and you wish to use a block reactionary style), the reactionary style will register as valid and trigger as long as you use it within 3 seconds. In general, this will make it much easier to successfully perform reactionary styles against enemy targets.

Side effect of this change: You can no longer use multiple reactionaries if you attack fast enough. The old example from classic would be a evade -> stun reactionary - > 4x other evade reactionaries while target was stunned. With this 3 second window you can maybe get off 2.

1. Is this intentional?
2. Is this how it works on Pendragon?
3. If either of those is No, any chance this is getting fixed?

Sorry again if this has already been answered. Thanks!

There has been discussion on this and the staff stood by their decision.

Hi Dimir. This is intended and there are no plans to change this at the moment.
