So we just finished Vet Banished Cells (Upscaled to VR12) and I was on tanking duty, and felt pretty useless. Mainly on Keeper Imiril. Seems if i blocked, didnt block, or used an abilitiy to increase my armor, she would hit me for 700ish every time. I use FTC which shows when I have blocked an attack (puts number in parentheses), and it was showing as the incoming damage wasnt mitigated by a block. Her attacks were a physical attack, why couldnt i block them? I basically kited her around spamming a shield and using green dragon blood (so my healer wasnt so taxed). Had the same issue with the final boss, unable to block any of his attacks.
Is this intended or a bug? If that's how it was supposed to be, whats a good strategy for fights like that. Sword and board is basically useless (even defensive posture didnt work on RIlis' projectiles).
Despite our victory, I felt pretty sour about that fight.
