Holding Parry Double Animation Bug

When you hold parry it seems to add a secondary animation, it almost feels like there are two parry instances occuring.

This greatly reduces your ability to take advantage of your successful parry as you're stuck in the animation for what feels like maybe 0.5s.

The video showcases the expected outcome on the first parry, the second two showcase the bug.

I'm able to replicate the bug with different hotkeys on both mouse & keyboard buttons.

Will update this post with in-game experiences, unless this is an actual skill issue intended by the devs.

Not sure that I see the pros and cons of holding parry vs clicking once.

Holding Parry down has no upside from what I can tell, but the downside of losing time to benefit from the outplay.

Ok, my smart friends figured this out for me.

As a successful parry resets your parry cooldown, when holding parry, it enacts a new parry instance instantly.

Whether or not this can be adjusted for noobs like me holding parry for dear life, I'll leave to the dev team.

Though I could see instances where this interaction could be useful, such as stealing Rejuv?

Thanks
