Hey, I have couple of question about blocking and guard, I would like to hear your experience from Uthgard, not live, because I don't believe they are equal.

Does the shield size affect guard?
Is there really dex hardcap for blocking?
Does engage work with guard? (i.e. if I guard someone who is attacked by let's say zerker, will engaging the zerker increase my blockrate?)

shield size in my experience only effects blocking when you are being attacked, but when you guard someone you block as much with a small shield as with a large one

That's how it worked on live. Heard of a bug on uth which would cause attackers on your guardee to count as attackers on you, thereby reducing your block.

From my experience, the shield size does NOT matter. Had a couple of fights with a Warrior guarding for me with a small shield, and he blocked plenty of atacks from a 3 man AT, while if the shield size matterd, he should have blocked nearly none. Ofc, this could have just been luck/the fact that blocking in general is way to high.

1. The shield size doesn't affect block rate, it only affects the number of attacks it can block in the same time: 3 for large shield, 2 medium one and 1 small one. I don't know very good the mechanism.. but should be correct.
2. Dunno...
3. No (or at least never worked the few times i tried it)
