Best way to practice dodge is with alligators. Keep killing them until you can kill one and take zero damage.

I found alligators a little hard at first… Until I realized you need to attack them from the side…
Now they are easy squeezy. lol

Yes! … or from the rear. I wear Light and so I have that great dodge roll. I pull it with arrows until it’s right on top of me, then I dodge roll straight towards its open mouth, coming to my feet behind it without a scratch. A swift turn and a heavy headshot and no more alligator It’s such fun.

That sounds complicated…
I just smash them from the side with a great axe.
No thought at all… lol

healing in heavy or greataxe in heavy. Most brainafk things you can do
S&S + Warhamemr also works fine.
In groupplay and “war” you buff your group with nice 10% dmg and just switch to hammer to place 3x CC and then switch back.
Dont have much todo with S&S since it is stupidly hard to hit anything with your sword skills there is no need to use them.
Of COURSE you can play S&S skilled with a nice shieldbash followed up with a reverse stab but honestly if your target is not in a CC you will not hit anything with your skills^^
Also you have 2 options in using your shield. Get a Greatshield and block till someone remebers he has heavy attacks OR take a small shield and just “dont block at all” and use your dodge.
Great topic by the way. I am 52, and I feel you. In this game I change my tactics by wearing heavy armor, and going with Axe and bow. Hit the mob hard in the head with the bow, then finish with Axe.
If you get jumped, Axe for the win with a potion if needed, followed by some food. Just with the bow I can have the mob almost dead by the time it reaches me. Love the bow, don’t think it’s op at all. It’s just being used correctly. (head shots for the win)

We are all on different servers probably so this will be more of a share & support group I guess 
I made a Discord server for anyone that just wants to chat, and maybe play games together too…
Here is the link if anyone is interested.
It’s new, so there are not a whole lot of people there yet… but join and become the elders there… lol

Is there a link?
I ask because when I google it, I am not sure if it is an Australian site. Or is there only one?
See… Im old.
Dont bother with this game. Its dying hard (already lost 40% of playerbase in less than a month) and the focus on it is entirely click-spam reflex zerg of the DPS.
If you want to stay then the only non-spammy role you can do is hunt beasts for resources, harvest, mine, fish, etc. PVP is out of the question (healers get focused on first and you either wear light armor which relies on reflex clicking to dodge or wear heavy armor and heal poorly in comparison).
Thank you…
I will see you there sometime.
Once i get past all the things I need to do to join… lol
Welcome! I’m 47 and on EU Central as well. Currently on Niflheim. I started a new character there because my previous server (Glitnir) is as good as dead, but I didn’t want to use up my server transfer token yet… Plus I really enjoy the levelling and exploring/gathering part of the game. Slowly working towards owning a house again.
Anyway, I’m still searching for a nice laid back company as well. 30+ would be freaking awesome. Haven’t found it yet. Have thought of making my own company, but not sure if I’d like to deal with the hassle of running it… I am more of a follower than a leader, heh.
Maybe it’s the PvP side of things, but I seem to meet mostly impatient younger peeps on my travels. I often don’t even dare tell them my age… they’ll probably think they’re playing with grandma. I won’t give up the search however! If you’d like to hook up and travel Aeternum at a somewhat slower pace, shoot me a PM! Anyone else, too. I have found Niflheim to be a decent server so far. It has a good sized population, plenty of wars going on with territories going back and forth, but hardly ever a queue, and it’s not TOO toxic. It still feels alive most of the time - more alive than Glitnir at least!
Right, now off to read the rest of this thread!
