Hey all. Since the last Live Stream showing some basic combat it has come to our attention that there is the chance we will have access to an active block. I often play a tank class in games and enjoy what they bring to the table in a raid composition. The active block has raised a concern for me. How often will a Tank be expected to use the block in PVE?
After playing a great deal in another game where the tank character was expected to have the active shield block up as much as possible, I learned that this play style was very dull.
I'd like to see the Tank get to use their active block in meaningful ways like surviving AoE mechanics other classics could not or to stop a critical strike by a boss that otherwise might drop them. What I hope to avoid is stagnant shield up time that takes away from my fun playing the class.
Thoughts?
