General Information[]

Synergies[]

  • Gives synergy to: None
  • Receives synergy from: None

This skill allows Assassins wielding two Claw-class weapons to use her blades to deflect incoming attacks, thus giving herself a defensive edge without using a shield. The benefits diminish severely after a few points.

Weapon Block only works while standing still or attacking. Weapon Block does not work while walking or running.

The % blocking chance that Weapon Block offers is not affected by anything that would affect a shield's Block Chance; consequently, it is reliable regardless of the Assassin's character level, but her Dexterity and Chance to Block % items do not increase it either.

Weapon Block defends against some magical attacks that regular blocking does not defend against.
