so that it goes through a blocking shield? It's kinda like a crossover attack in Street Fighter in that you have to block in the opposite direction to safely block it. What's the term used to refer to that technique?

Ah I see, "Dead Angle WoG" then. Here's to better programming in Dark Souls 2.

I hope they stay in DS2. WoG, even if cancelled, is somewhat easy to punish if you time the i-frames of your roll right. And dead-angling weapon hits is pretty hard to do.

They are awesome. And, just like toggle-escape, I hope they stay.

Regular dead angle attacks are awesome and can stay because visually they make some sense. The physics of an about-face dead angle WoG from the front is straight-up bizarre in that it functionally causes a force wave to inexplicably move inwards from behind the caster's opponent rather than outwards from the caster. Dead-angle WoGs are therefore not awesome and need to go.

Plus, saying that it should be left un-corrected because it's easy to deal with only serves to underscore the fact that it is aberent to begin with.

Eh, I think it could stay. It has a tell (even more obvious than a regular WotG), can be dodged, and adds some more depth to the combat.

If you build your shop in front of an arrow trap, sometimes you are going to get shot by an arrow.

It makes wog>bs easier as well. You will see it pull people towards you making it easier to get to their back.

Well with the amount of WoG spammers out there, the latency and pure luck can generally land a hit or two, regardless of well timed rolls. I don't think there needs to be an additional window for brainless AoE attacks to land.
