This isn't lag as I don't have this issue on my chaos character.

When fighting other players on my orks regardless of the weapon I use if I dbash and they fail to counter the dbash and get staggered I am unable to even get off a single fast attack before they recover and resume the attack. I've messed with this over and over and over and keep getting the exact same result of them recovering from the stagger before I even can move after the dbash.


It usually doesn't matter what weapon the enemy is using it can be a knife and I'm using a power fist or anything if they dbash me I get staggered long enough to get hit with a full power attack while if I dbash them they recover and start hitting me before I can recover from the animation.

Again I need to point out this isn't a lag issue I've not once experienced this issue on my chaos character which I've been on a good bit the past few days because the ork stagger and recovery from dbash just isn't the correct duration.

Orc melee is incredible over powered right now, I'm losing most of my engagements against nobs with Claws. I'm finding it very difficult to stun orcs as well. When I pull off a stun, I seem to get stunned instead...

Thats an issue with specific melee weapons not ork melee mechanics. If a shoota tries anything with a spike fist he is already boned unless it was a sbeak attack. The clubba, choppa, chain axe, and base choppa axe are fine from what I see. The elctro axe has a charge attack on roids not gonna argue that. The fist has a terrible wonky speed to it that pretty much forces power attack spam and charge attacks.

Calling ork melee OP over all is missing the real problem. I'd say all melee is having issues right now. Example I went to SM to screw around, took a default JPA and power attacked a fire dragon from the side. He died instantly. Thats pure garbage if you ask me.

Actually i'm inclined to agree Orks need a little work for melee. All they have to do at this point is grab an axe and spam heavy attack that swings as fast as everyone but eldar's fast attack. Land one hit and the enemy is stunned, then hit him again and you win.

Klaw is pretty fucking horrible, it's slow and easily dodged, and since ork d-bash is wonky as fuck you will get beaten by knife quick attacks and rolling. However, the dashing strike is pretty fucking good when combo'd with a good pistol.

It's dashing strike thing pushes you 18 meters forward so you can combo that on a jetpack assault with a good pistol for easy kills. But you're still fighting without a usable heavy strike (good luck hitting with it) and a d-bash that literally won't function most of the time.

Have you seen the retarded lunge range of the power-claw?!

Yeah, it goes 18 meters. I called it a dashing strike because I forgot the official name.

It's damn good, but only for stormboy ambushes. Head on you will get destroyed if you're not using a stormboy due to the lack of surprise and slow animations outside of the dashing strike. And if they block the first hit, you're fucked since ork d-bash is pretty fucking broken and strong attack on klaw is too slow to ever be used without getting shot in the face to death outside of ambushes.
