I'd like a cooldown on blocking

I don't like to block as a tank. Blocking has to be one of the most un-superheroic things one can do visually. Blocking should have a cooldown, say a minute, and bosses should be rebalanced around the idea that tanks will only be able to block once a minute.

Then you should play another role. No.

How about no.

Negating damage is one of your primary jobs as a tank. So you should rethink the way you tank or switch roles.

Yeah. Because I've NEVER seen Superman block an attack, before.

uhhh no.

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

seriously?

Just as an aside from your super well thought out I don't like to block tank plan (try rage) how will this affect the leveling process, non tanks, single, solo, and duo content?

What your talking about affects a lot of things besides tanking.

Sounds like someone is tired of getting their butts kicked in PVP rather than PvE content. If you are losing so bad at this game, maybe you need to go to another game AND STAY THERE!!!!

I don't PVP. Literally have not PVPed once. I'm a pure PVER. I just don't like the visual.

Great Idea! while we are at please also nerf Block breaker and Interrupt so you can use those aswell only once per minute so we don't have to pay attention to those annoying mechanics anymore anymore! /s

But seriously in the new content no Tank should block all the time, but insted watch and counter the boss!

He actually does not block as much and as long as a tank would. He actually gets tossed a around like a ball in a pinball machine quite often. He does not often get hurt ricocheting off of buildings but gravity is not superman's friend. You could say his ability to fly is gravity's way of apologizing to Superman.

The Tank role should naturally require not as much blocking as currently does. So, yes, a Tank should do less blocking and be able to do more of his other duties. I mean for at least the average player.

I laughed then cried then cried even mire.
What do you want to do put something on top of your block key and go to sleep?

I believe the original poster might want a parrying mechanic with or in place of blocking.

Good luck trying to implement that and not make fire the most hated tank in end game content .

Wait Wait Wait? Tanks need to block? Strange I just tanked Speed Necrop and didn't block once. Not even once. So why would you have to block ROFL. Please and a blocking cooldown has to be the dumbest thing ive seen in a while on here. Reason being is blocking shouldn't be limited especially with the games combat system. Doing so would impact PvP harshly. So no sir you are incorrect this is not practical nor valid.

Do you want to kill PvP? Or encourage players to stand in AoE fields?

Agreed. My idea of a cooldown in particular was just brainstorming, but I do believe something should be done to make this a little more like the comics. If not this in particular, something. Maybe making block-breakers more common. Maybe some other idea altogether.

It's not a huge deal, I don't pretend for a moment that it should be some huge priority. It's not even something that ruins my tanking experience. It's just something that would make it a tiny bit more fun, by making it a little more like the comics.
