Weapons and block

[MagesRequiem]

that also leaves out every spr or str build 2h fighters and all dex build archers, your point?

why should you get block rate for free? you're not a shield wielding class and you're not meant to tank. That's like stating that everyone should get free evasion even though they have low dex just cuz archers get it.

honestly, not to toot my own horn or anything, but i think its a great idea. It gives everyone every facet of end, making it a bit more viable a stat for mages and archers, but it doesn't put you on the same plane defensively as a 1h fighter or a cleric (and it shouldn't)

your only argument is mages, and that's only mages that are already made with stat points allocated. all new players with their mages would see the benefits of this change. and hey, guess what, you aren't the first to get shafted. ask some CB clerics how useful those empowers were on invincibility pre and post nerf.

The sad thing is, is that i'm a Cleric. Yeah, I made the switch to help out others rather than just myself. Anyways, whats wrong with some other class having like a 1% of getting a block? Would that REALLY throw the game off balance? I don't think so. But it would help every so often especially if it happens to be a killing blow. Mages are not tanks nor are Archers, we all know that. In fact, Clerics aren't tanks either but they can, can they not? I know the Clerics got shafted. But technically... that ain't being shafted. They're still tough as hell. Anyways, why should a Mage or any other class be forced to place points into END just to benefit from some small blockage bonus? It just isn't fair and it'll cause them to suffer in other areas. Such as damage dealing, evasion, etc.

so its unfair that a mage and archer have to choose where to put their points and take the good with the bad?

so what about those fighters that have to decide pure end or 25 spr? or mages who decide pure spr or pure end or add str?

the point of this is to make end a viable option for all classes. As it stands, the piddily increase in HP and def do next to nothing for a mage or archer. Now increase in HP, def AND blockrate might make it a bit more useful. adding too much block to either of these classes is too far extreme in the other direction however because they are damage dealers, not meant to tank hits. If you gave a mage that can do shittons of damage AND tank some hits, its now overpowered.
