Block

Block is one of the three passive defenses. It is the skill which allows you to carry a shield. Block offers a chance to block incoming physical attacks, and being stunned will negate its effect for the duration of the stun. Block is available to the healer or fighter base class, and is thus can be trained at any class trainer that offers its class to healers or fighters.

Shields can be enchanted with Passive Defense bonuses of +1, +2, and +3, which equate to an increased chance to Block of 5%, 10%, and 15%, respectfully.

Lore Description

Merely carrying a shield will aid one's defense in combat, but with careful practice a defender learns how to put his shield to its best use. Seasoned defenders anticipate blows and block them before they ever fall.
