Are you telling me block only works with a polearm and dodge with a 1 handed sword and counter attach with a 2 handed sword only???? Please say it isnt so!!

ANyone?

Still no one!! Come on, stop playing the game and surf the forums : )

that is correct

Ugh, I didnt want to hear that. Oh well. Time to rethink my uber melee guy again.

Im sure that the Dodge from Fencer will stack with the Dodge from Pistoleer tho.

Too bad they dont all stack across the melee professions.

Yes, that is what testing seems to be saying on this issue. I agree that it is unfortunate. Bonuses for these abilities stack in a way that gives somewhat diminishing returns. The result of a 50% chance to dodge and a 50% chance to block are not 100% defense but 75% defense.

I haven't seen any conclusive tests on stacking bonuses between a ranged and melee profession. With damage mitigation as it is, if these did stack then I think that a ranged/melee hybrid of either fencer/pistoleer, swordsman/rifeleman or pikeman/carbineer would be very nice. But I haven't seen anything confirmed on this yet.
