Hi

Why is the block rate so low ?
And are u going to fix it and uppering it to live like ?

what do you think your block rate is at ? What class are you playing, whats your stats ? Whats your lvl, what RAs ?

You could be a lvl 1 and cant block lol, need to give more info, at lvl 50 i see people block like mad so i dont know what your talking about. Plus block is like one of the last checks...... on live , im not sure about here.

Evade -> parry --> block

Block rate is under investigation. But always remember block rate is calculated after Evade and Parry. So if you parry and evade a lot you won't see many blocks.

@Eclipsed

oh block rate is low ^^

My hero uses dex/quick charge and dex pot with Full Capped SC.
Has MoB3 and if i -parry2 and Block1- out of 10 attacks that isnt right ^^

Now if i use Detaunt my rate should be better lol ( But i never had to in live to get my Defence )

but In live my defence only alowed 2 maybe 3 hits out of 10. agenst a onehanded to large weapon user to get in ( granted i did have Cap ToA On Dex/Str witch might have helped ) And RR8 VS RR4

But Still with that all in mind the Block rate dont feal like it should.

got a moblock 5 tank i block fullbuffed around 7 out of 10 hits from a savage
or 3 savages if iam guarding someone

if you are not guarding someone you can only block ppl that are roughly 180° in front of you

+ there is a bug in the formula that you block dual wield tanks much better than 2 handed weapon tanks

if the blockrate gets raised more for my shield tank i would probably block 90% of all hits thats a bit too strong for my taste

thats like it works on live.

Guard tank > AT

Well i haved L29 KOBY full dex ... all caped warrior .... in live with such spec/stats it was allrdy HUGE block bot alot .... in this server with MoB2 u block only few by mobs, and even less from players.

what about guard...seems to be even gimper....

allso talked with warriors abit and they all sayed that block rate is ~25% wich is way to low as far as i know . . .

So as the GMs told they gona investigate and lets see what they find out.

If the blockrates are so awesome, than I wonder why people are still whining about reavers? Or do they totaly own blockbots with their imba weapon skill?

I tried some duels with a mob4 warrior (only +75 d/q charge on him) with my thane (only str/con selfbuff + 75 d/q charge) and I was able to hit him around 1/10. I didn't do much tests but I couldn't even hit him 1 time in some duels

if i could get somewhere a fully buffed warrior and some more people to test it so i can give out my own opinion.

But i'm kinda sure atm its bit badly calculated.

if there weren't at least doubts about the correct functioning of blocking i guess the staff wouldn't use all the time and work to investigate about it ^^

why oh why.. its supposed to be best to hit with dual wielding weapons against shield tanks.. QQ

That's pretty cool for ya but.. that's 34 rsp's just for blocking.. not every tank is gonna spec MoB4 or 5.

stopped playin my full def pala because of that.

i should be able to hold down 3 reds solo undbuffed easily not getting into danger at any time and having full hp at the end.

on live i was fullbuffed once and had to go afk real quick in a dangerous zone.
when i came back 2 reds, 2 orange, 1 yellow and 3 blue chewed on me and due to my healing chant being active plus the low rate they could hit me they couldnt even lower my hp.

we used to do really massive pulls, one to four dozend lvl 55-60 mobs with a lvl 45 group, a pala and a shield ranger and you got yourself a mobile wall of diamond^^

here i can only manage 1 orange without getting hurt too much using twisting which depleted endu last time i played it.

blocking for someone else, which used to be the sure way to safe anybody from everything wont get you far.

yes, i only have personal expirience as paladin, but for me that is the best defensive tank in the game anyway.

full buffs helps a little bit, but not that much.

and having !mob5! and full buffs with cap shield (i presume) - "only" blocking 70%... well. thats still way below par.

my block tank is a gimmick not a rvr char ^^

anyway discussing the uthgard situation wont change anything the staff needs more datas from live to figure out the correct formula for blocking
