Sry, i have no ss, but i got a sos bow lvl42 and block ration on it(18, not too much i guess) AND got some block at red-eye ghost...
SO there are two possible answers:

- red-eye ghost have block
- i can block with a bow.

Im totaly confused by this.

Any guess you ppl have?

But that's not a direct answer to my question, you know.

Anyone has experience in this case?

You cant block with bow and ghosts dont block.

Altough you can block with a spear of glave! :D

Lol what does 'red eye ghost have block' mean?
Blocking Ratio is something you can add to weapons, yes even bows, with stones. You can't block with a bow.

There's a thread on alchemy terms here: http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic ... 7a37fd14a0

Taken from that thread:
Block Ratio (Discipline Tablet): Adds Block Ratio. This will lessen the chance of a block when attacking an enemy with a shield.

Yes, i know... but how can you then explain the upspringing "Block"s???

Ill try to get some ss's.

The "red-eye ghosts have block" means red-eye ghost CAN block?
Thats why i said wtf.
So i had blocked some hits or they, but its certain, there was a "block"
Thats all.

Maybe u saw something wrong, red-eye don't block and u cann't block with the bow either...Blocking Ratio on wpns lowers the chance that a person with a sheild get blocks

block ratio on weapons only means your shield opponent blocks less of ur attks

I was at the red eye ghosts and got some new form of bad effect called paralysis. It had a weird looking icon and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the stun one. Anyway, I tried to attack and move and heal and it said "you are paralyzed" and I died. I hate those fuckers. I don't go there anymore.
Btw they use a special fire spray attack and I believe if you use the fire wall technique, it blocks it but I only heard that, not tried it.

no, I'd probably have seen that. And btw I got a super fast connection and super fast graphics card so it wasn't any sort of weird lag problem

it's not block ratio, at least not like it is on a shield. it's block parry ratio. it lowers the chance your opponent will block your attacks w/ a shield. blocks can still happen, but it decreases the chance. it's a blue stat on weapons. some drop w/ it.
