Defensive abilities

Skill	Icon	Origin	Description
Absorption Field		Tank	A field of absorption.
Aegis		Tank	Instantly dispels all negative effects on the caster, then creates a protective dome behind the tank for 15 seconds, transferring 50% of all damage received by targets within the area to the tank instead. All targets within the cone also receive increased status effect resistance for the duration.
Barrier		Cleric	Sacrifice 25% of your maximum health to place a health shield on target ally for 10 seconds. Does not stack.

Bulwark		Tank	Bash enemies in front of you twice. The second attack temporarily increases block chance. You must have a shield equipped to block.
Defiant Light		Cleric	Heal target ally for 50% of their maximum health over 10 seconds. If that target would receive fatal damage while under this effect, this effect is consumed and prevents that target's death, healing them for 25% of their maximum health instead.

Уклонение

Уклонение in Alpha-1 early combat.

Another thing that's important about these action combats is the ability to dodge and moving out of the way of certain skill shots. – Steven Sharif

Evasion moves such as dodging and weaving will be present in Ashes of Creation combat.

• The developers are considering the inclusion of dodging in a subset of universal skills that apply to all classes.
  • Dodge rolling type skills were previously housed in the action skill sets of agile classes such as Rogues or Fighters.
  • The developers will be testing the use of separate energy mechanics for universal skills in Alpha-2.

• Dodging will not use I-frames (invincibility frames), but it may affect accuracy and mitigation stats when used.
  • Previously it was stated that hybrid combat will likely have true evasion skills relating to action-oriented combat and also have I-frames that apply to tab targeting.

So you see an animation windup that's a telegraph on what's coming; and then you have response actions that you can take as a result of that in order to dodge, weave, move, do whatever. It is both a combination of what your rotation is but also how you have reaction abilities ready to go that you save for certain circumstances that are important. – Steven Sharif

Active blocking

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Клерик, использующий активное блокирование щитом в Alpha-2.

Мы играемся с идеей дать всем универсальную механику блокирования, при которой щит, скорее всего, будет лучше всего, но игрок сможет парировать и двуручным оружием и с оружием в каждой руке. – Tradd Thompson

Активное блокирование присутствовало в Alpha-2. Щиты лучше подходят для активного блокирования, но для парирования атак подойдёт любое оружие ближнего боя.

• Разработчики размышляют о добавлении активного блокирования в набор универсальных навыков, которыми могут пользоваться все классы.
  • Разработчики будут тестировать использование отдельных механик энергии для универсальных навыков в Alpha-2.
• Ранее, когда разработчиками не были завершены механики активного блокирования, они склонялись к использованию традиционного ориентированного на баффы снижения урона как в большинстве ММО, а также рассматривали возможность взаимодействия между активным блокированием и пассивной характеристикой блокирования.
• У щита «Paladin's Might» в Ashes of Creation Apocalypse был собственный хитбокс и очки здоровья, им можно было активно блокировать снаряды.
