The funny thing is, I was playing a novice marksman on Test Center last night and at one point (with only the first two boxes of Markman rifle filled in) I blocked three out of four attacks from a viscious killer........ durni.

pikeman block works. rifleman block doesn't.
I'm definitely blocking now. Just noticed this earlier when I killed a squad of stormtroopers. Blocked many of the shots. Solo'd a few ns elders after that and never saw a single block though. I let a spell weaver beat on me for a while and I seem to be blocking maybe 5-10% of the attacks now.

According to a post on the Pikeman forums the combat spam for Block appears to be working finally.

I noticed it last night while hunting on dathomir.
Except I seemed to be blocking a lot less last night than I was last week

Does Block (Rifleman/Pikeman) currently work? Do modifiers from different professions stack, and is it capped???

Was wondering the same thing myself. How about counterattack from swordsman and carbineer, do they stack too?

They stack just the same as dodge from pistoleer and fencer stack.

I am going Master Pikeman and we just wondering if block does anything...
I know in the past Dodge was the only defense move that worked correctly and Block and Counterattack really didnt do much. If block does actually block, would Pikeman/Rifleman be a good template? Thx in advance for the help.

block caps at 125, so adding the two profesions together wouldnt do much in terms of block stacking, but its a good combination nonetheless, land a mind poison/fire or two, warcry/intim/dizzy, then switch to jawa rifle and spam headhit and theyre screwed

Block sucks. Just no way else to say it.I'd takecounterattack or dodge over block any day! You should actually "block" the shot, not block 50% of the dmg. It should work just like saber block.

and you takes states too right? Like if you block a stun attack you could still get stuned, right? I think I have noticed this but Im not 100% positive.
