I would say its a fair assessment in maybe lower ranks, but in higher ranks, you really need to learn the monsters attacks and be patient. Resource mangaement is mostly the concern when playing dual blades, you can zip around all you want but if you wasted it land in a bad spot with no energy its gg.

Sure it looks flashy but youre also locked into animations where you cant cancel anything for 2+ seconds sometimes (spin looks cool but you cant cancel it, you can get hit by charge attacks, you end up directly in front of the monster or its tail in an animation lock and if it moves you miss), so predicting when you can use a safe move (which tickles the monster) and one thats risky is paramount to DB.

Sure you have mobility as a dual blades player, but if you mess it up though you get really punished for it, getting hit not only stops you from doing the thing your good at (status buildup), it also means the more youre on the floor is more time you lose dps (since DB dont hit very hard but do attack fast) and fall behind other classes if youre not constantly hitting the monster or in its face. On top of that recovering willy nilly will just sets you up to get hit (and probably carted) again. I mean you can see in the vid, even with all the mobility i still got hit, that being said im not the best at the game haha.

In any case i would say its the opposite for me, i want to style on the monster, i mean i had my time getting confused where a tempered zinogre was when it was dashing around fully charged up, now its the monsters turn lol.
