Block animations for Shields

Playing my Shield Scrap, I realised it would make more sense if, when ducking/dodging attacks, he should raise his Shield (when deployed).

If you're not spaming attacks, your characters do perform dodge animations.

But the attack animation takes priority.

You didn't read the OP fully.

He realizes priority, but requests to exchange dodge animation with a raised arm block with shield animation IF using shields and shield is out (toggled on).

Which is exactly what happens now. Dodge animations with the shield out do raise the shield. You could make a point for raising it even more or in a more pronounced way, but it happens. It's just that sometimes traditional dodge animations also play for some reason.

Went back and saw this too. There definatlly needs to be more emphisis on raising the shield.

lol I read the thread title and thought it was asking for the option to block the shield animations from showing. I was like 'what? Rocking the aura I can understand, but someone's annoyed by the shield animatiuons?'

Eco.
