blocking question
Reply
Posted 2002-11-19, 08:45 AM
is there anything like "block more often" i ask because for sorc's there is +% max resist so wouldnt it make sense to make some thing that lets you block more often? like some thing that would let you block 90% of the time in stead of just 75%
just wondering and also what does faster block rate mean, like what shael does in a shield,?
Thanks for any help

no, there is no such thing as +maximum % chance to block sorrily

blockrate is the number of frames per 25 frames it takes you to performs to the blocking animation once.
differentclasses have different speeds, paladins being the top
then barbs
then zon/assassin
then druid/necro
then sorcs
the barb and pally can reach a maximum of 3 frames to block
while zon/assassin and below can only reach 4 fbr
more inc block rate means you have a faster reaction time and reduces the amount of time it takes you to move after blocking
it prevens "block lock"

hope this helps =-)

Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.

It explains some things but what would be more useful is a chart like ias charts for fbr do you have links to any?
