Like you know if we are suppose to take damage when it happens. Are we suppose to see it as counter attack in our windows? Ok ignore that last one but in general no one here seems to know what the devs think the intended use of block is. I and a few others have a hunch that something is not right but it is hard to prove with no idea how block is suppose to work. If it is half-damage well then we need to start running tests to make sure its not by-passing our armor when it fires of a block.

Thanks for your hard work,

antares had this post about this and asked for some reponse a while back, andI do believe Gunman21 had some answers... now, the taskt to find that post.. humm, something like "request on block info" it was called I think?

Do you mean the thread What is block? or the thread Is block fixed? Or the thread Gunman request for info on block? All I see in those is peeps saying umm I think its works like this and poor Gunman saying he asked but got ignored. Hence I ask him to try again

So we can get some defenite info as if block is intended to let 50% of the damage thru then it needs to go off twice as often as dodge does for balance reasons (if not more I think most of us here would prefer an ability that negated all damage vs half). If it is 50% thru we as a community need to decide if we find this an exceptable way to give us a unique feal.

I dont know about you guys but nothing gives me more fits than when I seerandom mobhits you for 2000 damage but you counter attack, you have been incapacatated. . If we are going to have the gimped defense then we need to have more toughness and melee/ranged defense. This is not how it stands currently and we should be buffed to fix it.

Of course I could be wrong and block could be intended to let only 25% damage thru but for some strange reason it by-passes our armor or who knows how what. Thats why it is so importain for us to have an understanding as to how block is suppose to work. How would we ever test it to see if it works if we dont know how it is suppose to work?

extensive testing I would assume,or the DEVs could just give us the information... oh, wait, right, extensive testing it is

Bump so it doesnt get missed.
