I was using the sword v gatekeepers in CE. I would either press R1 repeatedly or do R1, R1, R2. . I was using a TITAN Defender with very low agility.
What happens is that the first 2 hits land and then there is a pause before the 3rd strike. This gave a window where the gatekeeper could kill me. Basically it meant I got him half the time.
However, I watched other team mates (warlocks and hunters) do it and they have no pause, so just bash the buttons and they kill him.
I also noticed using the sword on earth (not sure if mechanics are the same) with my Warlock and Hunter they have a different swing pattern and no pause.
Is it my class or set up? Will changing to agility based build help? Or do I need to do it differently (like push the stick in a direction also).
It is hard to practice as I only RAID twice a week and don;t want to learn on the job and cause wipes too much.
Thanks

I have been told that if you have gear with the "increase melee attack speed" perk, it helps with maximizing sword swings. I have yet to test this in all the time that I have run with he sword.
