Utility when tanking

[aoyi]

Does anyone else feel like it'd be more useful if a bm would be able to block when moving? Just a thought....

While I do see where this is coming from, I disagree. We don't want another blade cancer class running around...

Imagine you were another class fighting BM. We already have ~180 degree block, movement while doing it would be OP at >3 m range - melee classes' block breakers couldn't reach us and they don't really have a long range attack we can't react to (if ping's low).

The dash left/right skill that is in the martial tome, even though there's no way to get it in any version as far as I know, would be just perfect. Right now, we can move 8 m backwards and then we're stuck - no untargeted movement skills.

I never felt the need to move while blocking.
But if we could move while blocking, we'd start bunny jumping around, and that'd be hell for our opponent.

KFM can do it and look how cancer they are
