Blocking

[RedKhan]

Basically give everyone a skill "Block" let people attach it to a specific item (Sort of making that item their shield).

They can't attack while it's in use, uses a small amount of mana and has no recovery. While blocking a player receives 50% less damage from everything.

If this was implemented I'd start to see an argument for how PvP in MC could involve skill.

Ruin the idea of the warriors door thingy, like the idea, but Warriors door thingy is their door thingy.

Does it even work? Didn't for me.

I've never used it, didn't think it worked.

If it does it could just be buffed so instead of blocking 50% it blocks 60%+.

Just think this kind of skill would really change PvP for the better, well timed attacks and blocking would be more important than that persons class/level/equipment. I know some people will be against anything that will give crafters or brand new players a fighting chance in combat, but it'd be a skill everyone had, so there couldn't be any excuses.

If you didnt know blocking will be in 1.8 you right click while holding a sword

Supoib!

I hope the HC team leave this as default for a while before making alterations to it.

Some classes may do well with skills related to blocking, say a passive that causes the attacker to get pushed back or hurt themselves, or a skill that can't be blocked... 1.8 is going to do wonders for Herocraft, I'm sure of it.
