Japanese Translation wrote:When a weapon is armed after the wrestling timer is completed, the swing timer for the armed weapon starts to elapse. If the weapon timer is completed while the wrestling timer has not been used, the wrestling timer is discarded, but if the wrestling timer swing is used prior to the completion of the weapon swing timer, the elapsing weapon swing timer determines the next swing. If used right, you can swing twice consecutively. (Arm Halberd after wrestling timer is completed => disarm halberd => arm halberd in 3.8 seconds if the halberd timer resets in 4 seconds => swing halberd => wait the remaining 0.2 seconds on the weapon timer => swing halberd again). However, a slow weapon such as the halberd is not suitable for real combat. (Using the halberd in this manner is probably effective only at the beginning of the fight). This is an expert technique which can be used very effectively with a weapon with a delay of 2.0~2.5 seconds.

↓
For example, cast an EB and hold the target
↓
Arm the Halberd
↓
After arming the Halberd, elapse the new swing timer slightly before attaining Zero-Delay status with it, and swing
(This causes the first wrestling Zero-Delay state to release the swing)
↓
(As soon as the Zero-Delay state is attained via the Halberd timer, swing second Halberd hit)
↓
Relase (target) the pre-casted EB

from what is sounds like, it was executed by

1. elapsing your wrestling timer, arm hally
2. don't swing yet, but allow your hally timer to count down (if the hally is 4s timer, for example, allow it to count down 3.8s)
3. move into range just before your hally timer had fully elapsed, swing using your insta hit which has been readied by wrestle timer
4. hally timer fully elapses, swing again (if you tabbed out at 3.8s, this would allow you to swing twice in a 0.2s interval)
5. if you allowed your hally timer to elapse the full 4s, you lose your double hally hit.

the first entry, however, says that you need to disarm your halberd immediately after arming. this is the only difference in the two methods.


from my understanding, swings are not "held" on test center, so this pvp essay's guide of how to double hit would not work. the swing that has been readied by wrestling would cease to exist before the hally swing was ready? i haven't played test so i'm not sure, i've only read the patches that are supposed to be in place there

It happens around 30s, so start at 25. What appears to be some Asian free shard. I believe it's also done another time later in the video.

No, they start to get boring when everyone thinks like this and no one thinks creatively.
