    It took me a long time to learn dodging properly on PC, I found it even tougher on PS4. Just keep practicing and you'll be a dodge rolling master in no time!

    How is it mapped on the controller? Double tap the stick in a direction? I just remapped it on my PC since I was dodge rolling on accident and hatred the pause when I had to use it.

    L2+X. Sounds weird but it works pretty well actually. Double tap would be odd because you'd end up stopping for a brief second while doing it, and I'm sure there'd be lots of accidental dodges.

    Glad they decided to rethink that one.

    There is a lot of accidental dodges on PC haha.

    Yeah, its just odd to be that you have to press 2 buttons so far away from each other to do it though. I'm newer to controllers though.. So that's probably the reason I find it weird

    I've found dodging far easier on ps4 than it was on pc. The double tapping movement keys to dodge was a horrible design decision - it was plagued by lag and there were a lot of accidental dodges in everyday combat, which can cause issues when dodging costs so damn much stamina.

    L2 + X, accompanied by holding the left stick in the direction you want to roll to, is much more fluid and natural feeling to me.


    Bashing, on the other hand, is noticeably more difficult on ps4. Half the time I just end up attacking if I dont make sure to hold down the block trigger for a second first.

    On PC you can remap dodge to a specific key. I remapped it to v (based on a certain YouTubers advice) and it makes dodging so much easier and actually better! You don't even stutter.

    I remapped it to "R" as both a mnemonic and because I kept firing off my Ultimate every time I was trying to open a container and take the loot too fast.

    I got used to and pretty good at double tapping dodge (you can set the time between taps in the pc menu IIRC
    .
    The console assumption seems to be that both roll and bash come out of blocking (because they fire best from holding block first).

    If you come at console with the idea of blocking attacks as a default stance, it flows pretty well from there.


    Taught some guys today in Deeshan that most eye type daedra attacks are blockable. (the spin attack/ throw and single blasts especially.. .while split beam attacks has a gap in it usually to can stand in.).

    The thief spinny blades they step back and throw are blockable too.

    All sorts of stuff is. Some stuff is easier to block than dodge (clanfear spin attack is easier to block then dodge out and back in)

    Coming from a tanking background on my VR 14, I tend to block even basic attacks and fight in the gaps,even with my sorc chars.

    thumb buttons on mice work well, too.

    I use a good old trick on PC. I always map dodge on key: S. I don't use backward. You can always turn around and go forward.
    You miss the lol button? It has been taken away for a reason. And the reason is how people used it for bash others who didn't share their opinion.
