It’s a pain with all npcs, but of all the changes, although probably being the most irritating, this one bothers me the least. You can still dodge, but the window is incredibly narrow. Not even fromsoftware games give you such a narrow dodge window and they have a much more polished combat system.
I just started accepting that dmg as part of the fight. On the volcano, against mobs with obsidian weapons, this is harder to swallow. Guys with two handed hamners don’t miss, even when you dodge. I haven’t tried the Volary of Harpies since this change, but if the corrupted ones can do this… I can’t even imagine…
This should be toned down a few notches.
