Sword and spell blocking.
If there's one main issue I have with the game, it's that you can't block, while having the spell equipped. It's something that always bothered me in a gam such as Skyrim. Wish there was a way to still block or at least parry, while having the spell equipped.

switch to a shield in your off hand and spell in main hand. Block and parry all you want.

I mean, yeah, but I've always liked the spellsword build and I have yet to see a game that actually lets you block, while having sword and spell equipped.

That's what I thought about, while making the post. Unfortunately, the game takes more from Skyrim, when it comes to the combat, which means it also has similar drawbacks.

You want a spell, a sword, and a shield all up and ready to go.....umm, don't you need another arm?

Not shield. Just sword block, like you can do, when you only equip the sword.

Was looking to see if I missing something that's why I couldn't block while a spell equipped and saw this post. Pretty disappointing that you can't do it, kind of annoying switching between sets all the time. Its weird that you can block with just a sword equipped but can't do it all of a sudden when you have a spell equipped in the other hand.

Well, maybe it's like this because of the balance? Wouldn't that be too OP to maintain a spell in one hand and then block with the sword? 🤔 And now you have a bigger punch but at the cost of survivability. I will ask the dev team about it and we'll see what we can do!
Thanks for the feedback!

Well, than blocking with a 2-H weapon would be a bit OP as well ;) it packs a far bigger punch for far less drawback (mana) and can still parry/block.

I mean, how "OP" is it to block with just a sword. You're probably still going to get hurt, a lot, or if it drains stamina make it expensive, etc... In probably almost all instances, if you're going to be blocking alot, you'll want to use a shield but having it as an emergency option doesn't seem broken to me more of a QoL thing

From what I remeber out of my first hour (there I used 1h alot with a free offhand) you can perfect-block 100% of the damage without a shield just fine. So... block is as OP as you can use it... if you hit every perfect block and can manage to not get overwhelmed by enemy's its 100% no dmg income as long as you have energy.
