The problem with my combat recently is that it's inconsistent. I've been playing all day, and I'd generally have one "bad" moment in each game, killing me 2/3 times. After those three weeks or so of me being "gone", following the fact that I've been playing other games, I simply cannot stay consistent enough for me to believe I'm that good right now.
I'm working on that though. Most of my mistakes recently are simply extremely slow reaction time. My hands/fingers for some reason seem to just "freeze up" and refuse to move. I think the reason for this is due to said other game I've been playing - my habits of how I combat people in that game are trying to inch their way here, and by the time my brain has decided which set of "skills" I need for a specific action in a fight, I've lost 5 hearts and need to run. My fingers don't want to move the scroll wheel/left click/right click until they've confirmed that won't screw me over, as in said other game, they would.
Hurray for my second post in this thread explaining why I suck so much now! ;D
