About Shields and blocking

First of all, great job with the combat! i think it looks really good and is a great platform for u to work and expand upon.
I have a love for shields and tanking, been a mmo/rpg player all my life and the best gamplay loop for shields i found so far is actually from dragon age 2 coop mode. Try it, was alongtime since i played it but i still remember it.
Attacking give a resourse(stamina) - a succsesful block uses stamina but gives armor - armor protects while attacking.
I think it is such a simple loop, but it gave such butt clenching moments. It made so u could tank with low hp but only if u played good. It made u be able to help your healer out if he was in a bad spot. no mana, others to heal ex. Felt really rewarding. I do not want it to be easy.
Some version of this could work, i would love the game to have a really fun and great shield mechanic but it might be hard to weave it in with all skills/healing/balance. But i thought i´ll just throw it out there.
Best of luck, game is looks gorgeous!
