I was thinking that blocking could be spiced up little if you did some sort of counter attack if you blocked at just the right time. It would make it feel more dynamic, and raise the skill ceiling from above just blocking or dodging. Ranged projectiles could be sent back the caster, and melee ones could be countered with a high damage knock-back attack. Opinions or ideas?

Sort of, but if you block
Sort of, but if you block right when you get hit, it knocks whoever hit you back further and does a lot of damage.

Did you ever heard
@zcstover
Did you ever heard about/tried to use the "Shield Cancel" and the "Shield Bounce" techniques? Shields ARE totally useful, you know.
@Topic
About your suggestion, I'm not so sure if this will be good for the game (I mean, we already have two techniques), but if well implemented (A.K.A. anti-abuse), I can support this.
Good Gameplay addictions are always welcome.

That would give even more
That would give even more edge to players with low latency in the upcoming PvP. Sorry, but no.
You mean like how we can repel mobs if we tap our shield?
