Thread: Block Ideas
Does anyone else want to entertain the idea that we +BLOCK+ with our bracers?
We get a boost to block, so that we do it more often than now, like maybe +130 total, and center of being works well for it, i dont' remeber how we rank as far as CoB goes, maybe we could have the most effectiveness but the least duration, and when we blocked what ever damage we took went into the bracers after being, halved, and mitigated, and toughnessed.
So the damage would go like this, assuming the numbers are right...
On a succesfull hit that is blocked.....of an original 100 damage....
-26% due to toughness
74 total
-50% due to block
37 total
and then depending on our bracers.....supposed 80% composite....and the attack in question is kinetic
-80%
7.4
or if no armor is worn it remains at 37%
Now we wouldn't block ALL the time, but very much, more than any one dodges, or counterattacks as of now.
Oh, and don't tell them i said so, but this setup would make more sense if tkas had it, since we block with our pole and they use their arms....but SHHHHH!!!!!!
This would also help pikeman to tank, or hold off groups withought being invincible.
I think this is a decent idea, and we might do well to discuss it.
Wait ... I though Toughness only worked when we are unarmored ?? Correct me if I'm wrong of course ..
**edit** ... I'm sure that last sentence isnt correct ... Oh well .. please forgive my bad english =)))
toughness is the amount of damage you take when using the specified weapon class. /correct ScDarkKnight

that would be a good thought too, i am not sure if i wouldn't rather keep the 100% defense and loose the stat defense, but a good i dea none the less.
Maybe we could do both.
leave pikeman block where it is +115, Reduce damage by 50% and then toughness, and then bracer defense, and no status effects.
So we don't get status effects. And we are not vulnerable to being compleatly destroyed by people or npcs that are just way strong.
Becouse either way 50% defense is not enuff, compared to fencers and swordsman, I think.

Interesting.
I still think more melee defense and perhaps some ranged defense would help. Def vs states, if block lets them through then poo. Give us more def vs states then to balance the profession.
