Reactive Combat

[Kiote]

It never said on screen when you guarded/parried, only evade and now there's no evade, you can counter on a miss. It still says everything in the chat log too. I would still like them to lighut up when you can use them, though. They probably will since there will be notifications or whatever for you to combo and those reactions are now combos.

Reaction abilities are fine being class specific, and help reinforce class playstyle/role, combos are there for active combat.

Edit: Also most of the time, not always, you can watch your character and know when you've guarded/parried. Guard seems to be the only spotty one.

The game did in fact used to say Parry on screen. But it really makes no difference to me. Not having it say it only made it slightly more difficult, which I personally enjoy. thinking about most players, however, they would be more likely to use these skills if it were more obvious when they became active.
