Windows Dishonored: Blocking Sword attacks

Hi Guys
I've only just started playing Dishonored (Yes Yes I know. Not my fault. I'm in darkest Africa and just got my pc built) and I'm finding it difficult to judge when to block. The distance you can be hit from is quite far and I end up mashing mouse 1 to slash because my blocks are very badly timed. Any tips?

Also, I'm playing with a 6670 and my fps is 70ish but I still get stuttering when I come out of a building sometimes. It lasts a few seconds. Anybody else?

 

dunno about that but you need to gtf back on DayZ with us.

 

My ping is so bad! If I ping bbc.co.uk from the house, I get 280 minimum. Its that bad.

 

hahaha... clearly, Zambia has better IT infrastructure than Namibia.
On pings like that, we play FPS games online.

 

Lol. Guess where our service provider is? Namibia! Do you fps games online with that ping? Ouch!

 

I personally don't (I know a good few people who do, though), but I play LoL with that ping a LOT.

it's quite surprising that you get that ping through Namibian ISPs, when you're not in NAM
