Hero Blockbot spec

[Vasconcelos]

Besides of the obvious 50 shield.. how is the usual specc?

50 shield
50 LW or CS
rest blades

¿?

 

[Vodkafairy]

50 shield
50 weapon of any type

= good

CS is good for chasing support (back snare style and thrust dmg) and LW is good for.. anything anni is good and lw does lots of dmg :x

blunt is nice for solo'ing a bit (10 sec stun off parry chain, 10 sec stun off block chain), blades is ok but no usefull effects, pierce is a bit shitty since you hardly have reactionairies.

Alb n00b Question, do you get parry?? if so then how bout 50 shield and 25 parry if you can

 

[Vodkafairy]

50 shield
50 1h
28 parry

or

50 shield
50 2h
28 1h

 

[Gargo]

50 shield
50 1h
28 parry

or

50 shield
50 2h
28 1h

And thats the way the cookie crumbles

 

[Gargo]

50 1h = higher ws

1 of the variables on chance to block is WS iirc? so 50Sheild/ 1h is the ultimate blockbot

It's been said often but proved wrong.

Block is based on these things:

Dex
Shield skill
Mastery of Blocking
Opponent weaponskill: lower ws = more hits blocked

Heard something about shield size and 1h weaponskill affecting chance to slam (?) but I'm really not too sure about that.

 

[gunner440]

if choosing between CS and LW well

we all know about anni and what it does

but i still think cs would be a better choice as thrust is the best dmg type out there today

According to some test, it seems that ws affects chance to bipass: target ws, parry, block and evade. So the higher ws u have, the higher chance to hit with shield styles like Slam. Yet again, according to VNBoards test...
However, ws doesnt affect your blockrate (either selfblock or guards).


Looks like 50shield, 50 ws, rest parry is the wise option for a pure guardbot.

Best race for blockbot is either celt (higher conn and str) or luri (highest dex for best block chance, but less conn/str). Luri hero with pierce is quite funny. Get him a fang and he does ok dmg too.

 

[Xanthian]

Im 50 Shield (+14) 50 Blunt atm with MoB3, I block like a bitch in PvE, but not so often in RVR.

My ws is very low, around 1850 fully buffed with MoTA 4 buffs.

Going to respec to 50 Shield, 50 CS, 26? Blunt 6 Parry after next patch

Thats a myth! Shield got his own hidden weapon table thing. whatever

You know what i mean xD

ok i have and hero who is specced full sword/shield and an rl mate plays and hero with 50 spear, 50 shield, 28 parry and i can't see any difference in slamming. Why? Because there is none

Agree.. my hero only has 42 shield and 6 blades, but I have no trouble slamming at all, if there was any truth in the 1h weaponskill having an effect on shield then I would be hopeless at slamming.

actually they can
