Hey,  
really love this game so far but i really dislike the controlling of the great shield with WASD.  
The first issue i have is that it blocks in the direction the char is facing to. I would prefer it blocks in the direction the cursor is showing. Like it happens with melee strikes.  
Also there is the possibility to follow auto targeted enemies while u block but no possibility to change the block direction manually without autotarget. I would love to have this option.  
But most important for me, the mouse should control block direction not WASD.

I am so excited for your final game!
