Jedi 'Saber Block' and Rifleman 'crappy Block' are not the same thing. If you have an AA for Block, it is only useful for enhancing the Rifleman's Block.

In the past, a successful Block did not always show up properly in the combat box leading people to believe it was broken. A while back, it was fixed to now show properly in the combat box(which it does).That being said, Rifleman Block is still pretty much garbage. If you are fighting weaker mobs or lower-level players, you may see Block activate fairly often(at best). In normal PvE and PvP, not to mention 'high end', it is rarely seen. When it does occur, it stops only 50% of damage as opposed to 100% like Dodge or Counterattack('as designed').

Some people claim that it is still broken. In reality, it works 100% as intended. However, I do expectit to be adjusted to come in line with Dodge and Counterattack as part of the combat revamp, so I would advise keeping it until then.

I find ranged Defense much more worth investing in than Block. I can fight a red mob, and if I'm running back and forth, a lot of times... he'll just never hit me.

Ok, first my alt is a Master Rifleman, TKA 4000, and Doc 0340 at the moment. Say hypothetically I had a +25 block Armor Attachment. What exactly would this do? Is it worth using? Under what circumstances does a rifleman block an attack, especially in PvP?

Thanks in advance,

What's the ranged defense cap?
