The idea of melee attacks being blocked has completely changed
and it doesn't happen by default any more.
This is available to all hometowns except Arabia.
This skill is available at level 14
Stat Req's:
50 Str
43 Con
38 Dex.
This allows people not dual wielding that have either a 2H weapon
or a "worn as shield" slot item to block strikes. Mobs can block
with bare hands but builders must configure mobs to use that
skill.
This is a STR-based skill (more strength = better), and the
sword-and-board style (1h weapon + shield slot) will have even
more success
If a strike were to hit you, it will check against the block
chance. If you block, you take no damage. Unlike parry,
you CAN block mob bare-handed attacks.
You can RIPOSTE off of blocked shots, even against mob bare-handed
attacks
While you won't take any damage (or maybe a TINY bit of damage)
when you block, equipment may still be damaged.
