Dodging with a Heavy Roll. I need some pointers.

While having a fat rolling character my strategies usually involve avoiding rolling at all costs lol. Really if you have to dodge the tap O jump back has worked out the best for me. I don't really try and roll left or right

Unlock and run laterally

Your best bet is to treat fat roll timing the same way you treat parrying; it needs to be just before or just as the attack would hit. But as Federally said, rolling should only be an emergency measure of defense, with your primary defense being blocking. That said, if you're not using a Greatshield that can block a high amount of all kinds of damage, you should probably change that.

Only roll magic and projectiles, rest is better to tank or block

The thing i like about fat rolling is that you have longer to decide if you want to do a rolling attack at the end of the roll and alot of the time it throws the other persons timing off.

karmic justice can trigger from blocked hits, they just have to be around 4-5 in quick succession. as for fat roll dodge... i dunno.... but maybe you could use force to reflect those attacks....

Very fast, but it dosen't really do much damage. Basically, it's impossible to doge the after-blast, and it will break up stunlocks, but unless you have a ton of vit, then you will probably be dead by a stunlock before it sets off.

4-5 blows on average and they have to be within like a half second or less of each other possibly much less... it can also activate during bs's thus making it useless if they combo then bs you. as for the damage i think its actually on par with wog if youve got the same stats for it. i guess you could do testing with a friend with bare fists or something...

ive done a littel bit of testing with karmic justice not much much but say if you get hit 5 times it will activate, or ive you get hit with an attack that should knock you down but you block it, then ti will activate, its very tempremental though (however you spell it) and its very hard to gauge when it will go off and ive had it go off many times just as ive been killed, 50 faith and ring of the suns first born and it will deal heavy damage like 900 maybe depends on defences,

If your shield doesn't block 100% of the damage, it'll activate normally. If it blocks all of it, it doesn't activate. At least, that's what my testing yielded. The build up before "detonation" is only increased by hits that connect and do damage. The amount of damage is irrelevant. The number of hits is 4-5 in rapid succession, but even if you take them sporratically, it'll work. It's sort of like a bleed meter. So basically, you could turtle with the Grass shield for a while and it'll go off. That's how I tested it initially.

the main probelm i had with testing it was getting the "knockdown" attack to trigger it
