Iv000 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Just looking through the perk list... Quick ReflexesTime slows down if you are blocking during a power attack. Can't really wrap my head around how this would be useful... anyone have any ideas?It gives you more time to think I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrius2 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Well think about what? If it activates it means a power attack is incoming, what other smart option is there besides continuing to block? Oh wait... I could shield bash him in the face. The power attack takes more time than a normal attack so I could very likely bash him before the strike reaches me.

It could also give you a chance to dodge back out of the way or like you said, shield bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrius2 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Hmm yeah... yeah, I hope they still have that timed blocking thing in... it's a while ago since they said it and I've seen no real support of it in videos since then. I guess if it's still timing based you could release your block during the slowdown and do another block at the exact moment that the enemy strikes. Didn't think about dodging, good idea. Maybe you could even have time to do a fast strike at the opponent and then continue blocking... Edited October 24, 2011 by Adrius2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
