I don't recall it ever being an issue for me. I'll test when I'm in next to be sure. I didn't think Twist was sped up by Bands, but if it is, perhaps that's an L3 Band issue sans Diadem?

Aerek said it already, but condensing your attacks is the main suggestion that I have. Logs being condensed that way, and pasted in html, make for much easier reading.
Definitely want to dismount before you do any pre-impaleslash. You want them struggling to get away (hamstring/leaphigh), being mounted doesn't allow for that.
Also never noticed an issue with discerning with my bladetwist, even before Aldar or bands. Bands also don't adjust bladetwist timing.

When I played, discern was definitely slower than bladetwist. There's a chance discern was sped up as a QoL buff, but that's pretty easy for him to test anyway.
Could also be attributed to there being no multi-command aliases and queueing when I last played Blademaster. Just thought of that, but I could imagine the few milliseconds difference between impale and discern I experienced being a non-issue with queueing.

It's been so long I could've just been queuing it improperly. Will keep it in mind though when I move back to BM
I managed to log our best one, and I tried to get the next match for evidence of how awesome Anedhel's team was doing but it was too big for Ada's pastebin. Oh well, take my word for it they won like 5/6 or however many duels we did. All around, a good matchup and tons of fun! Nice job guys.
No colours, cuz it's too big, but that's the last bout. They tried to use Retardation and trample (first time they'd used ret tonight), and it kinda backfired a little.
I didn't log the rest, but it was fun.
Yeah. I was totally freaking out because I was trampling my own teammates (first time I'v ever retardation/trampled), and I couldn't figure out why. Then I realized I was supposed to tailsweep first

Poor karren. Gets paralysed, ret goes in, he gets stomped on. Life is hard.
sent/bard/dual cutting for the locks. (unless you have apostate of course. then apostate/apostate/apostate) sent/monk/dragon for the breaks! sylvan/sylvan/sylvan for the lol-damage.
Three artied out the ass script monkeys vs three people with minimal/no arties that actually manual. Ya lol I can see how that'd be a fun matchup. Triple shaman better if on point.
If the execution goes properly, yeah. If apply to legs, hit head, assault head, pulp. If apply to head, mangle lock legs until an opportunity presents itself, or just hope the DPS kills them, as demonstrated. Class prone defenses can muck that up, of course.
Dual blunt is all kinds of hilariously broken. Even worse for Infernal (could we just delete vivisect? That would solve so many issues with balancing Knights).
It's OP against folks who don't have hinder. It's rough to fight anyone that can hinder well. Every class feels the rock-paper-scissors aspect, DWB and a few others just feel it stronger, the highs and the lows.

Proficy switched to runie dwb specifically because dwb infernal wasn't good. All these people saying that it's "omg op" are paladins and runies. Play infernal before you make such comments

FTFY. DWB with +3 str and L3's is never not-good. Runie might be easier, but Runie's kinda broken in a few ways! (Lookin' at you, Pithakhan )

No band, no talisman. I have mind warden so I contemplate as well (wooo classlead approval). Should never have an issue with it!

Bard vs Majin (Sentinel) - my first real fight as bard, ran out of curare https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/df7e0846
Bard vs Asria (Dragon) - my tracking got wonky, but I persevered: https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/dd016ad2
3v3: @Anedhel, @Lianice, and @Ienzo versus Aesgar, @Karren, and @Krizal.

Come join the Achaea discord!
I don't log things most of the time. Too busy tweaking after a fight to make a log of it.

Mir+6700hp+l2 defensive arties = no problem

Also fuck that damage, ouch.
