[Combat] dodge

Karmen

Hi everyone, I just want to adress to @ZENIMAX a feeling about combat gameplay.

I don't understand why I can't dodge some skills. I mean, When I know something is falling on me, I'm naturally doing a roll to the side. But in this game, when a meteor is coming, It 's for me. Same for DragonLeap... etc.
It's not natural, and I feel very frustrated about that.

I don't know if it is due to glitch but just yesterday I streaked away from one

Meteor does 0 damage *shields up*

But I don't know if it is dodgeable, I usually shield up and don't get concerned with the rest

you cant dodge ground targetted type dmg. Those skills just happen to do that kind of dmg.

All AOEs in the game are undodgable as of a few patches ago. That being said, it *is* possible to escape a dragon leap by getting out of the radius before it lands. On the other hand, meteor is not dodgable (Same with Skoria) nor is reflectable anymore. Try blocking these abilities instead if you aren’t CC’d.

@rungar I know about ground targetted damages. It's a normal thing ok.
@kartharax Yes i'm blocking theses skills but, what i 'm saying is using a dodge at the good time is useless since somes skills falling on you are simply undodgeable.

About dragonleap, a simple rolldodge isnt enough to leave the radius, and we dont have time to do more rolldodge in before the DK hits the ground.

I remember an ability that allowed you to dodge without doing a roll, but they deleted it from the game. it was more natural even if, from what I understood, they never managed to make it work perfectly.
