Thread: Potential problems with block

I have been watching, and against stranded rebels when I block I take no damage from their attack, I have noticed the shrugging off message before and thought it kind of looked cool, maybe it means that no wounds are taken for that hit or something, I don't think it corresponds with our block, though I am not sure on that, I will keep a close eye on that later.

This is really crazy. They add a mod, which is supposed to help us, but it does nothing. WOW. I guess they ignored us again.


But maybe one day some DEV will look into it. MAYBE.

It does something, it looks like the damage we take is decreased some. But if the other defenses, i.e. counterattack and dodge, avoid damage altogether...well...we got the shaft.

Yep I noticed the same thing. Use CoB have the combat spam claim I counter attack watch my ham bar and it goes down. And I never wear armor so its not that which is conflicting with it.

It happens whether you use CoB or not and with armor or not. It is block.

Its official, block is not working



Just hit an rebel npc with HS2 and it said he block, but there goes his mind pool. He took 700ish dmg even with the block. And im not doing much more dmg than that normally so i dont even think block is reducing the dmg

/bug or /develop ? I'm wondering if this is the way they intended block to work, they don't really explain how these things work, what the effects are of dodge/counterattack/block etc.

I am. I was planning on going Rifleman/Pikeman. (Sure, the attacks dont go together, but Rifleman works very well by itself. Any melee that helps defense and works decently would help counter the disadvantages rifle gets.And it's best attack is actually not a mind attack.


If Master pikeman does not fit with it, I might get tkm, but still get pikeman defenses (which unlike all other melee have all 3 defense types in one line. Active(block), def vs. , and melee/ranged.))

i'm probably really late with a response, but i was out killing an ikopi lair for giggles, did spin attack, and


a baby ikopi blocked it and fell over dead. not just busted for players.
