QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Oct 25 2015, 08:16)  never count it (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) nearly all arenas + 5~6 IW runs today ~ I hate IW (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Heh. Turns are what really matters. QUOTE(Void Domain @ Oct 25 2015, 08:55)  Dont think it will change much as long as rapier is the only PA, maybe nerf to only 1 stack and 20% PA? Even then axe is only side grade
Or, change in the Block mechanism? For example: may be after the next patch, Block can only stop physical attacks? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif) This post has been edited by tetron: Oct 25 2015, 09:20

Okay. Then correction: After the next patch, Block now can only block 1 attack per turn. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

So make block the same as parry for total redundancy, and leave evade, which precludes OC gain? Either get hit by devastating spells or have no OC gain?

yeah sounds like what tenboro would do (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) maybe then add a new ability to give block has 50% value for magic attacks.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) just FYI, 1H isn't really the ideal for newbies to begin with, even now that it's so OP

Ive been thinking about getting a Kite shield rather than a force one for my " final shield " cos of the less interference.. is there any disadvantage in stats? the block doesnt seem that much less

Having a high interference is not a problem, especially now with unlimited potion use. On the other hand, a high burden may be a problem, because it reduces your crit if it is higher than 70 (relevant if you are using heavy armor), and reduces your attack speed if higher than 40 (relevant if you are using light armor). If you really aim for a low interference, pick a buckler of the battlecaster. Otherwise, just use a Force Shield.

block doesnt seem that much less, but it is that much less Kite shield max is 36 (not sure) and force shield is 38.5 when you forge it to 50 their delta is ~3.4 and scale to my level is ~4.2 block which is 11% less hits taken. Also you will want less burden rather.

Yeah, it's an extra layer of defense. You can never have too many of those. QUOTE(Dan31 @ Oct 25 2015, 05:15)  Having a high interference is not a problem, especially now with unlimited potion use.

Why do people keep saying high ITR isn't a problem? Unlimited potion use is a mitigation, not a panacea. If I were to be like some folks here and hit the SG arenas at PF I would burn through high double digit digit draughts. Doing Hell+ on the three lower arenas has me doing double digit draughts and some pots. Replacing them is not how I'd want to burn through credits, though I am a "rich" (lower millionaire) user - lots of folks ain't got what I got. Lower ITR is always good, all other things being equal. In my opinion what should be said is, sacrificing Block for lower ITR should be done with caution, because higher Block is more important than low ITR.
