Weapon Block

Weapon block is yet another amazing Assassin skill. It allows you to block anything; Fireballs, Blizzards, FoH, Smite, Hammers et cetera, et cetera. The only exception are so called 'ground-spells' such as a Firestorm or the fire that Meteors leave behind. Second sweet thing; it only requires skill points, so you'll get block along with high life.

There is one major downside though. With 'ordinary' blocking, your chance to block drops to 1/3rd of it's original value when you run. For Weapon block, this penalty is way worse; it drops to 0% when you run or walk. It stays at it's full capacity when standing still, attacking or teleporting. This is one of the reasons why Enigma is so vital.

Weapon block takes 5 frames to complete and can only be sped up by 1 frame with the use of Guardian Angel.

Weapon block suffers from so called deminishing returns; you'll have to spend more points each time you want 1% extra block.

	Corresponding skill lvl	with previous block %
57% block	20	-
58%	21	1
59%	23	2
60%	26	3
61%	31	5
62%	36	5
63%	42	6
64%	49	7
65%	60	11

In my opinion, 60% is a nice percentage to achieve without wasting too much skill points.
