A "tell me when to block" addon

[indopan]

So I'm a mmorpg player that has ventured into some common online games like wow, swtor and rift who tried 2 of the past eso betas I found that the concept of blocking attacks as a form of melee and ranged defence seems kind of mandatory and also something kind of foreign to me. It seemed difficult to determine when the best moments to use block and when the best moments to attack were. From what I've heard the developers talking about it seems like they are making it a key part of combat. So an addon that would basically spam some message telling me to block enemies power attacks when they're coming in (and probably an addon telling me when to interrupt enemy spell casting) would be at the top of my wish list to make the combat properly playable.

It did take me a while to get that timing off .. still not getting them every time but only done 2 weekends of testing so I'm sure I'll get it down pat but I can see the need of a heads up being useful.

In the game settings, you may turn on combat tips. This will give you messages on screen to help you learn.

Ah yeah, I found them and it did help a lot. Worth doing next time you get to play.

OP is not that wrong. One could use the combat tip event (hopefully there is one) and based on that info create a more valuable warning. Like a shield texture or the like.

When enemy has a white charge up glow, block. When red, bash them with an interrupt if you can or block if you can't. That simple, the game itself gives you clear signs of when to do something.
