It's block parry, in other words you have more chance to avoid block against a shield user. Kind of opposite of critical parry on shields.

It just reduces, doesn't completely remove the chance of hits getting blocked.

Of course glaiver can block. But it's not because of the block 60(100%). There is a skill in Fanning Storm series that make it possible to block 32% for 15s.
The blue in weapon is a block parry.
Ex: if a blader has 20 BR from his sun shield, and has 8% BR passive. His blocking total is 28%.
- 28% that a "BLOCK" word will occur
- 60% your weapon will stop the "BLOCK"
So his total BR will be reduce to 28 * 60% = 16.8 => 16 BR

BR 100 is achievable on 8d weapons, so the formula has to be incorrect, none the less it has a big effect on the amount blocked, and fanning storm only works on magical attacks :wink:

No it is not.

It means that you get less BLOCKS from someone with a shield

Only shields block.
The block ratio on a weapon means the enemy will do less blocks on you.

critical blues = reduce critical from weapon

can someone confirm the formula again.
coz its right, 100 Blocking Ratio is obtainable on 8D weapons.

btw its 2 different thing, bout glavie skill blocking and the blocking ratio blue on the weapons. Stop confusing them together as the same thing.
Lvl80 Pure Str Glavie Blade
Lvl35 Hybrid Str Archer
Lvl35 Pure Int Spear Sword/Shield
Lvl31 Pure Str Archer
Lvl30 Pure Str Rouge/Cleric
Lvl27 Hybrid Int Spear
Lvl25 Pure Str 1H Warrior

I remeber there was someone say: anti block is the oppsoite of your block
So if u have a weapon block 60(100%) and enemy has shield BR 17(70%)
Formula will be like this: 70-60=10 => BR 11(10%)
weapon block 100(100%): 70-100=-30 => BR 7(-30%)

weapon block 100(100%): 70-100=-30 => BR 7(-30%)



I strongly doubt that's how it works. Because if you have 0%block on the shield (10) and 100 block perry on the weapon (100% on 8D), would that mean you have -100% block = 0? No. Because I have br10 and I block people with 100% blue.

So that's definitely not how the formula works. You can't just assume the block perry is a percent value, and subtract that from shield % value, especially when on a sun 100% is completely different than 100% on regular shields.

I declare your formula a failed attempt.
