Weapons and block

[PwnageCleric]

why the fuck do mages need shield block anyways ? just spam skills be4 you die, you dont have to kill high lvl mobs.
And about archers, kinda same thing but you have more hp when a mob aggros you.

+ the block rate is about 5% maybe ?
which means 1 mishit per 20 ?

clerics/warriors usually take all those in 1 or 2 mobs, so 1 mishit doesnt do anything -.-

So i have no fucking idea what's the deal -_-
Anyways discussing such things in here is kinda pointless, None will pay attention to this and stuff. If you want something like that mail the Outspark's Fiesta team and they'll do it if they like the idea, if not, nothing will happen.

and once this would be implented, clerics and 1h sword fighters would have an even higher block rate, because then they could block with the shield and even with their weapon

sure, id like to see my char block as well, and yes, some hits can be blocked with any type of weapon (even if a fragile crossbow would prolly shatter) but..

..but then i would also like to see my axe, which im wielding with huge swings - to do damage to all nearby enemys that are crossing its way =)

If you actually take a look at the higher leveled Wands and Staves you'll notice that they aren't made out of wood. Probably some kind of steel. So it would be quite easy for them to block. And another thing, Staves and Wands are what we Mages use to channel our magic power through. Without one we can not cast spells (with a few minor exceptions). So obviously they must be magical in nature and like I said before magic is stronger than any steel. Giving our weapons some sort of block rate would be completely fair. And Pwnage, we can't kill mobs that quickly. We can drastically reduce their health in a matter of seconds but not quick enough to kill them before they reach us unless their name is gray.

Even if the staff was made out of a the same metal as the staff, do you really think a small stick of metal backed by small flimsy mage arms can block a figther's REDICULOUSLY larger and heavier axe or 2handed sword who the fighter himself is very strong.

Do you think a sword held by a human can stop a massive monster???
A mage could block attacks from a warrior and in most other games they can at least make wards or somthing to increase defense and block.
You have to realize mages dont just use staffs, they can use magic also.

If their blocking by magic then make it should BE LIKE that thier blocking with magic. It should be like like a buff skill that uses SP just like all OTHER magics. If thier using wards, magic or something else to block then really its nothing like blocking with a weapon or shield.

I'm Not at all against character balancing but this isn't how i would picture the way it should be balanced.
