I'm against dodge & blocking!

JOKING! I'm all for it. :trollface:

I've seen a couple of threads lately that is all against it. I actually love the direction Ashes is going, but they could take it to the next level in my opinion. I recently watched Hogwarts Legacy 2nd Gameplay Showcase, and in my personal opinion, I'd love if AoC could use this as a base reference for block/dodge. The dodging and blocking (spell shield) looks beautiful. It's fast paced and smooth. Combat in general here looks great.

    The dodge rolling looks realistic and well-paced in the timestamp linked. I like it.

    This is a good example of how it could work. The dodge rolling looked clean, Although in a multiplayer game for balance purposes, I think a magic shield or block should be a forward facing half sphere that doesn't protect you if attacked from the sides or rear.

    Oh i like that idea. Most healing skills are typically "cone shaped" and only allies infront of you is healed. Magic shield could work the same.
