if you have reflection then you know how to block if you know how to block you can learn to time it against the appropriate enemy making sure footed obsolete

ive been running only survivals mostly void ones an ancient can rush from behind knock me down and goin all out attack to a heavy gunners can also get knockdowned, heck high level infested survivals can get pretty hectic with multiple ancients running in just to keep knocking me down and im melee only most of the time it got frustrating but it taught me to read the situation better and time when to block in conjunction with melee animations (differs between stances) so you can Get Good with blocking

i used to rely on surefooted, fortitude and handspring (altogether or differeing combinations) and i felt by the time i got comfortable with blocking they just took up precious mod slots also there were times when im not host that surefooted and fortitude just dont proc at all those were upsetting times

again i say all this as a melee only nutjob i forgot how to use guns a long time ago.... also have you tried quick rest instead of marathon? i just felt like quicker regen stamina was more useful than having more stock stamina
