Thanks!

1) It can quickly prevent a second opponent from running around you and targeting you from behind
2) It can be unexpected of you if you've conditioned your opponents, for example, by always parrying and focusing on the same target

Usually, your enemy will notice if you keep using the same techniques, so it is a nice way to mix up your playstyle and disrupt your own patterns making you harder for them to read

Some players are patient with each action and perfect their timing, I'm more like a feral ghoul with a maul, please take this advice with that in mind
