Allows you to dynamically change the blocking direction while your block is up instead of re-pressing the key each time. Native functionality is still kept separately.

Overview I liked the change of all forms of blocking being directional and manual, but in bigger fights with more enemies attacking you at the same time it can be hard to block from the correct direction, therefore I made it so the blocking direction can be dynamically changed while holding block instead of having to re-press the key each time.
Installation Compare the mod version to your game version to know if you have the correct one.
Simply drop the "FluidBlocking" folder in your Modules folder or use Vortex to install. Activate in the launcher and you're good to go.
Usage Fluid blocking and regular blocking are bound to different keys so you can use only one or both without losing the functionality of either. By default the key is set to Left Alt and it's recommended to unbind the Defense key from Right Mouse Button and change the Fluid Defend hotkey to it instead. There's also a small input speed threshold check to make sure your guard won't jump around at the slightest camera movement.
