I can see why you would want this - speeds up the grind where every NPC in the room is a valid target.

An AoE affect while dirt kicked would work, but that doesn't help characters who have no AoE at their disposal.

All I can say to this is: Shovels

That being said, if you don't like being dirt-kicked, get an [IC INFO] and fight with a 1-handed weapon and your [IC INFO] in your offhand.

I love the shops in Nerina. P.S. A one handed weapon slows leveling.

Location: At home. Or work, maybe. Or working from home.
Take a pet that can dirt kick, and put it behind you.

Or aim lower, with a strong two-handed weapon.

Sensitivity.

You train your body to respond to your other senses and react accordingly. Weapons generally move faster than you can see, but you can feel the strike and then know that there is only so many possible follow ups and you react accordingly. Feel the strike then react.

someone throws a haymaker, they step in generally leading with the opposite foot, you block their strike and limit their arm movement, they now will most likely fed you the other arm or rarely a kick off the back leg, so you turn to avoid the kick while blocking and countering.

That is why you work would endlessly, you teach your body that when A happens you respond with B. So your body is do ingrained with it when it feels an stack it responds unfairly with a counter or block, you don't need to see most attacks eg gen you get to that level. I have watched grandmasters talk to the group while fighting blackbelts with watching them and gm wins every time.

Get one of those eye washers? or whatever the tool is that removes dirt kick effect.
