It's been a while since I've hunted... since beofre the whole change to edged weapon combat actually. Anyways since parry/jab doesn't work anymore can anyone recommend a few combos for using a broadsword?

Try parry/feint/draw/sweep/slice/chop.

That's what I use, but I dodge instead of parrying. I also throw in a lunge and a thrust at the end if I'm overwhelming my opponent. If I'm not, I only do the lunge/thrust thing if I wanna get smacked.

That one seems to work very well, thank you both. Oh if anyone has any good ones for ME weapons scimitars and ilteshes specifically I'd be grateful for those too.

You're very welcome!

The nice thing is that the combo Dulcinia and I told you for HE works well for most MEs too.

The jabbing combo I use is dodge/feint/lunge/thrust/jab. I use both the slicing combo (the one we told you before will work with any slicer IMO) and the jabbing combo for the iltesh. Gotta love the iltesh.

Can I sort of combine the slice combo with the jab combo? dodge/feint/draw/sweep/slice/chop/lunge/thrust/jab?

I use the feint/draw/sweep/slice/chop combo on all my bladed weapons (ME/HE/2HE) and it works great for all three. Notice the drop of parry from that combo.It's really not necessary to maintain incredible balance from what I've found.
