Why raise you shield ?

Hi,

True Question: Why raise your shield when you can dodge/roll the attack ?

I have a hard time reflex raising the shield and usually just roll away. Is there any mechanical advantage in using actively the shield ?

To block.
No reason unless you are slowed/chilled or because there's burning ground everywhere that you don't want to roll into . That's about it and that does not justify using active block ever , just get rid of it .
