XaverriJade7 your char is also on eclipse... maybe we can test this out... make me a target ^_^ we use a cdef rifle and I will get some buffs... and then shoot away! I believe that Block works - have seen the counterattack message on occasion - just not very often even at master...

Sure, I'd love to test it with you! For now, lemme just say this: With +195 Block(I know it stops at +125 for now) and CoB, I'd say I evade 9/10 or more of attacks. I also have +70 melee defense. With the same amount of Block andmy +99 ranged defense and no CoB, it's a lot less if I recall. Gimme a /tell whenver you're free and we can check it out

I just started on pikeman and noticed i blocked (with my +80 from rifleman) every now and then. I was using a wooden staff against gungans and found i'd lock maybe 1 in 10 shots that got through my ranged/melee defense bonus. I'm assuming its exactly the same with a rifle equiped as both rifles and pike are linked to the block modifier. It still totally sucks because i had COB running too - i think a pistoleer/fencer/heavy sword/carbine with a + 80 counteror dodge using COB would avoid more than that... i just hope it improves a lot when the mod gets nearer cap.


It seems to work ... its just a bit crap because you still take damage...

Trust me, it does. I'm surprised it's working so poorly for you with the Block you have from Rifleman already. Are you using a CoB macro? I do(don't hate me! ) and it works great

block only works when using COB since rifle has no COB skill it does not work when holding a rifle.

Sowwy, I just assumed you were doing that. With CoB running and a rifle equipped, you get the 'that attack cannot be performed with this weapon' message until you turn it off

it would be a simple thing to make a COB that had rifle int he allowed weapons just a one line addition but a year later still broken still not there. all rifle needs is a COB that lets us use our block skill and other defensive mods.
