Dodge/Parry in heavy stance

Same issue and agreed!

The issue is, that you can't dodge while doing any animation (attack/stance/getting up from being knocked over), but you can parry. It's annoying and should be usable like parry is.

​I second this.

Having to unaim to dodge makes heavy completely unappealing to me.

Let us dodge and parry freely when in aim mode.

Let us activate and deactivate our barrier freely (you cant while for example in an execution. Yesterday it wouldn't even respond while I was sprinting).

I don't understand this restriction in the players' agency over their characters' movement. It just creates frustration, nothing else.

If they think heavy would be too strong (for whatever reason), they should balance the weapons or something.

Balance the game, not the player.
