with ESO's current combat? not a chance
IMO I would rather ESO combat hands down. GW2 twitch style and no trinity just has not done well for what I want in a MMO. ESO trinity is at lest an option, not the only one but its there. Also you dont need to spam dodge, you can block as well. Watching vids of dungeon runs in GW2 looked more like an acrobatic game then combat. Ya ESO over GW2 combat any day.
Do you spam dodge in GW2?
I could swear that was a recharge (endurance) on dodge.
I could also swear there are blocks in GW2.
If you never played with an active block button, it hard to understand how much more dynamic it makes combat.
Doesn't the block in ESO have a cooldown mechanism (stamina drain or something)?
Or are you saying that you can spam block and that is somehow superior to spamming dodge?
Again, GW2 has active blocks.
You can hold block as long as you want. Blocking attacks take stamina. No, GW2 does not have an active block system like ESO or Wushu. I see you swing, I can put up my guard block your attack. All players, all classes can do this at any time. In or out of combat. It's very different trust me.
I can put the block before you attack and block multiple attacks in GW2, but it is dependent on the particular skills of the weapon.
So I can be there blocking attacks for an hour in ESO?

You can hold up your shield in anticipation of an attack for an hour. You can't continuously block all incoming attacks without running out of stamina.

How many attacks/period of time under attack do you reckon you can block?
