Rifleman Archive

I've been a master rifleman for almost a month and I don't think I've ever blocked anything. has anyone had this skill mod do anything?

think your right, i have never blocked any thing either, and have been a master as long as you... if i remember, pikemen complain constantly that Block is there main defence, and it doesnt work at all for them.

ps. kuu-laid, heres to the holo-whores who cling to master rifle for dear life

if its anything like the pikeman block it works... but you still take dmg lol

As a master pistoleer i dodged about every other shot so no i dont think it works. However we do get some good general defences that most others dont

lol no i havent blocked a thing lol but heck block only cuts dam in haf so its not realy worth any thing when you fighting mobs that do 5k dam in one hit

I would think that Block only works against melee attacks. It's kind of hard to block incoming bullets. You would dodge them. You can block a sword swing though. That would make sense which means it probably doesn't work that way in the game.

alright some tests I did when fooling around with someone in pvp. When it says u COUNTERATTACKED on the other players screen it says u blocked it. But with creatures it'll say they block and coutnerattack is if it were 2 seperate things.

Now when it says u counter-attack and on the other person's screen says u blocked the damage still counts. That is a bug, when u block no damage should be done to u, it says u counterattack/block the damage will still count.

I knew about the Coutnerattack bug where you still take damage. Though I think it's limited to PC's only. When I see a MOB counterattack I don't think they take damage.

I have never counter attacked, blocked, or dodged WTH is going on?

I would have to agree with the "Bug" - reasons:

Try a bleed shot - you'll find that when you do bleed and they block, guess what? The still take the bleed damage for full amount.

This is disturbing to me as counter-attack and dodge seem to be working as intended. This needs to be addressed (as it should have been when they implemented said system).

Thoughts?

well bleed will always work, along with fire even if the target dodges/blocks/counterattacked/evades

That's not aprt of the block dodge, u don't get the damage if u evade/dodge/counterattack. You do if blocked though.
