Some "Enhanced Combat" Opinions.

So if Ark was to get an improved combat system, that involves parrying and blocking, what are your suggestions for some creature classes, that would affect these new abilites? And maybe some creatures that would fit them?

Feel like this is a more player side thing. Maybe a dino like the Mantis could use this, but no amount of "parrying" from a Trike is gonna stop a Rex from destroying it. Also consider that many creatures probably don't have the dexterity for this kind of combat. I think it could be cool to add a creature that could "counterattack" kinda like a counter like Smash Bros, but it would be hard to pull off in Ark.

Well I think that some of the armored creatures would have better parrying and blocking, and bigger creatures like the rex could have slower attacks(easier to parry), but high damage. Plus I agree in that a lot of the creatures probably wouldn't be able to do that in real life, but I think it would be ok to bend the rules a bit in a game like Ark.
