Is there anyway to avoid damage with certain spells?

I noticed how bombardo locks you into an animation, and I've actually been killed several times because I can't roll out of the way or shield when someone starts casting

I'm using the 100%+ enemy damage and health mod, anyway to fix this without just tanking damage?

Hmm not sure about dodging after, but you can protego almost immediately after any spell cast and dodge out of that (I'm not 100% on this)
edit: I know what you mean by it locking you in place, as I've died a few times to bombardo as well, I just resolved to not using bombardo up close

I'm in a quest where you have to fight trolls and enemies that spawn. No potions or plants are allowed in the quest. I can only use repulso, descendo, bombarda and diffendo

It's like one troll, then another, then two at once

oh I know what you're talking about, honestly your best bet is to just keep spamming those spells XD I tried being tactical about it but, nah too much work, all the cd's on those spells are reaaaaally short in that quest
edit: slight tip about the ogres is you want them to charge/run at you and bash into a wall, they take like 100% more damage when they stun themselves that way

Learn to dodge. Sometimes you need to time it 3 times in a row, e.g. for trolls.

The problem is that certain spells (like bombarda) lock you into this casting animation. I've had moments where I started casting *juuust* as the yellow/red icon appeared and was unable to dodge or block it

y'know, i started a recording of the fight, figuring that it would take all day

I finished the fight six minutes later.

wtf
