Haymaker made the new combat a LOT more interesting. You're going in the right direction with these special UA moves.
I'm interested though if this won't decrease the usefulness of MC. Some special MC moves plox! Less movement based, more defensive like IRL.
Edit 1: For example Parry, which is like dodge, but has longer cooldown and deals openings/damage to UA attacks
Edit 2: Would also be nice if people could either spec more into UA if they like aggressive movement combat or into MC if they like more defensive combat (more useful for PvE). Or a combination of both
