Well....Thats interesting. Im sure I will find out when I begin playing but that makes me wonder...What would be the advantage of trying to quick roll dodge attacks (dex/agility style) VS Shield blocking (tanking it strength/poise style)? If a shield will block a strike with 100% damage protection then wouldn't it be a better option to go with a strength/poise build rather than a fast dex roll dodging build if you will still get hit when you try to roll a strike? I must be missing something here. |
I haven't played enough to judge or analize, but It is important to notice that roll dodging works well all the time if you roll in the right direction, if the enemy swings with a sword you have to dodge backward, the he attack vertically you have to roll left or right , which leaves an opening to perform a backstab, that is a new stragical depth you probably can not have by blocking.
Also, maximum equip load does not level up with stamina this time around, you need both to have a good poise build in addition to strength, as equip load means shorter recovering time.
