Description
After developing this skill, an Assassin wielding two Claw-class weapons can use her blades to deflect incoming attacks, thus giving herself a defensive Edge without using a shield. (Calls for two equipped Claw-class weapons.)
Key details
- Weapon Block lets Assassins to use two Claw Weapons while still having Blocking.
- Assassins that use two Katars will want to invest heavily in this skill.
- Even a 1% Increase in Blocking will grant a great amount of protection.
- Weapon Block does not benefit from Dexterity or increased chance of blocking.
- You will only block while standing still or attacking.
- Weapon Block does not work while walking or running.
- Note: Whirlwind is an attack and Weapon Block will still function during the attack.
D2Emu Tips
- Weapon Block has diminishing returns, i.e. each skill point increases the skill effect less than the previous one.
- Poison damage over time is not blockable in the same way as residual fire damage, only the initial attack can be blocked.
- 10 additional points (57%) reduce damage taken by further (57-50)/50*100 = 14%.
