Enemy AOE: what's blockable, what's dodgeable?

Questions:
I know some AOEs are not dodgeable, e.g. Templar Jabs/Sweep.
Thanks in advance!
Edited by taugrim on March 28, 2022 4:18PM - Is there a general rule that applies to AOEs in terms of blocking or dodging them?
- Does it matter whether the AOE is ground targeted, PBAOE, or conal?
- Does it matter whether the AOE is DD vs DoT?
I know some AOEs are not dodgeable, e.g. Templar Jabs/Sweep.
Thanks in advance!

✭1. Except rare occasions you can't dodge AoEs (afaik carve is dodgeable, stampede, silver shards). Except rare occasions you can block AoEs (noteworthy outliers: subterranean assault, haunting curse).
2. Don't think so.
3. Ground DoT AoEs aren't blockable or dodgeable.
Block > Dodge is a general rule. Lots of skills actively punish dodge, by being able to land a hit or even stun, or land snare after dodge and force increased cost dodge.1
