Is your dodge / block chance reduced to zero if you have your back turned on an enemy? (ala WoW)

Should i be worried or concerned if i charge / leap INTO a room full of monsters or should i never leave my soft underbelly (behind) exposed?


Solution 1:

Just checked it in-game, stood in a corner and let mobs hit my back. I dodged and blocked attacks even though I was with my back to them. Now I dont know if the chance to block/dodge gets reduced, but certainly not to zero.
