During a twitch stream I learn this 1 tip about blocking and counter attack that made a big difference in my damage output. Created a short video for those that never played MO before. Hopefully this will help.
Newbie : Counter attack in melee is a game changer

Great video!
Just a kind note that npcs can also do feints where they pretend to be attacking or blocking from one direction but at the last second change to another to counter your moves.
Sometimes, while running towards you they may also try to parry once they close within melee range if they see that you have already readied your strike beforehand.
They are obviously not as deceptive or skilled as real players, but SV seems to have brought some advanced techniques from real players into the AI's programming.

If only they made them attack you in succession like normal players would, instead of just a ball.
Yes, if SV could give them a mind of their own so they will do unexpected things it would add to the overall immersion.
