Instead of Auto block & Parry

[Shneibel]

Yes basiclly this. We are getting a better battle system. Making the blocking system as it was is silly. All they need to do is increase the block rate not change it back to what it was.

And "Blocking" Will Solve that? no Linking, Combos, and team combos will get there much faster.

I mean no body plays Great action games like Devil may cry, God of war, and Ninja gaiden for their awesome "blocking" lol. We want the fighting to be fun and blocking isn't the system we should be working on here.

I think the fun should come in systems that are fun (like linking mobs, AOEs, Combos, team combos etc.) Not ...blocking....

you are far off the point of the thread, from what I see either:

1. you havent read anything but just post
2. you read everything and fail to understand the point of the thread or fail in thinking
3. you fail to see that this is a battle system fix which havent anything to do with the thing you mention

The direction the battles are heading in FFXIV with individual combos from everyone, including the tank, and battle regiments later on will allow for more engaging and dynamic battles (Hopefully).

What you are suggesting is simply making one of the damage mitigation skills to be renamed as blocking/parrying and have a set amount of damage that it can absorb, like Stoneskin or Phalanx. For the moment, without really looking at how battles will be come 1.20, I would say wait until you try how battles will play out.

if you read "note 2" I have already mention the thing you said about not in deep or detail, but you are also missing the point as well when you mention "stoneskin" but I am not gonna argument in this

the new battle system doesnt have anything to do with this, because Block system above is a separate system it wont interfere with combat system else I I wont post it here now but wait until 1.21

Ok let me make this clear. I am saying the blocking is fine. So i disagree with what you were saying. Increase the block rate of couse but to move to your system i do not think it is best for the game.

Also i was obviously responding to this point: "Just another the way to play, in my belief when you are in combat you need to always be active"

So what i am saying is to be active and have fun, focusing on blocking in NOT the way to go.

Don't kill me i just disagree with you. I didnt fail at reading or thinking i just do not like the idea.

if you only say the bold text above then that should be enough because the thing you take as example are complete different with what you said.

You say the fun is fun and dont want to focus on block but you talk about Ninja Gaiden & DMC, the 2 game that player either focus on evade or block the mobs attack before strike back (DMC have block & counter)

Have you played with the new battle system to know if it will interfere or not? Do you know how busy will you be handling combos and enmity generating skills to know you will have the time to put up or down your shield arm? Are you able to do other skills with the system you are suggesting should be implemented?

this is from self exp, as I had encounter the similar system in some games so even if FFXIV is different from other game, the different wont be that big that I need to learn it from scratch

Im sure DMC and NG main focus is the kills and big monsters but W/E. I see you just are gonna yell fail if someone disagrees with you so ill just leave.
