My intercepting is terrible, so I am interested in non intercept options.
Thanks
Non intercepting options. 1) Dex them, this often runs into the problem of getting backed against the wall, which often means you have to hit back to push them back, a full combo won't see you to the end of the shield phase, so unless you got yourself out of the corner or dex there, you're dead. If your intercept game isn't great I suspect your dexing in the corner game is probably similar. 2) Easier option, simply parry during the shield phase. You can probably do 3 parries and then start attacking even before the shield timer expires, so that your combo carries you into the cooldown and you're safe to do parry combo style. 3) Mix the above if you don't want to keep taking all that parry damage.
Either way, you want to maximize the time you are doing damage, so just remember you can always start attacking during the shield if your full combo or full combo plus chained special will take take you into the cooldown.
Be careful of damage over time. If you have DoT on the defender during the active shield and they contact you, it will be reflected onto you.
