I’d just play as a mystic or thief, but holding left click and spamming dodge to stay out of range just doesn’t do anything for me.
LOL That was basically my time playing Bandit (with invisibility to occasionally take a break from dodging). Although, bows currently have this neat thing where you could get an extra shot if you dodged at the right time, which made it a little more interesting.
Everything you said about melee is correct though, and it was the same situation with the last version. As a fighter, I find unless I’m fighting 2 mobs max, it’s much easier to do burst damage and dash away then to attempt parrying.
