Sadly this isnt a rant about other Karok's using their War Slam :D
Well I rarely see new Vindi threads on Mabination so ya...
So im around my 5x with my Karok and I've been realizing few disappointments when using War Slam. Dont get me wrong, its a great powerful skill, but there are few things that tick me off about it.
Situation 1: charging into a bunched up mob and preparing to War Slam! Then notice one of the mob tripped over a rock and is on the ground. Karok starts spam-stomping on it instead of Headbutt -> War Slam >:C
Situation 2: Took out the mobs surrounding you, next wave spawned right next to you. You now prepare to War Slam. OH WAIT! Karok begins stomping on the ground, but theres noone there?! You then notice the dead mob that turned into stone, what does he need to spam-stomp on those for??? D:
Situation 3: Oh no Karok is spam stomping again!!! >:V Giant red spider is preparing to whale dunk on you. You are are trying to cancel the spam-stomp but instead Karok is continuing stomping. Finally stopped, but is taking his sweet time getting back into his combat position *Giant Spider gave you a big hug*
Situation 4: The boss is knocked down NOW IS MY CHANCE!!! *Karok begins spam-stomping downed boss...*
So this is my issue. I dont know if im the only Karok thats having alot of these annoying issues. before War Slamming I must smash away from the target and point back at the target to stomp (sometimes spam-stomp when I look away also) Alot of times when I have the opportunity to War Slam, he ends up spam -stomping :v Sometimes I wonder if we really need that spam-stomping move...
Any other Karoks?

1. Go to options. There should be an option to press smash to kick downed enemies. Disable this. Should fix this problem.
2,3,4. Same as above
Fixes all problem. Happens to Fiona counter too.

It's a somewhat out of the way and seemingly harmless option, so it's not suprising that people can easily miss it.
I had thought the problem I had with Fiona and kicking instead of using counter was related, but it still took a week or two before Baku tried and told me that was the problem.
Really dumb for it to be enabled by default though, really influences everyone in a negative way.
(Fun thing for Karok though. All smashes still retain the ability to "Finish" enemies with the sign over them. This includes the roll, and I found roll was the fastest way to knock the cores out on my low leveled Karok. You might've already noticed though, but it's worth a side mention as it lines up with the original option that causes the problem.)

Yeah, it took me awhile to realize that as well. Same exact thing with my Karok.
