How does Block work exactly?

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

I’ve been looking all over and I cant seem to find any solid info on it.

I know the block number on shields is a block multiplier, so if it reads 1 you get 1x your block stat, 2 is 2x and so on.

What I really want to know is:

How much does holding Guard from peltesta increase your block?
How does the % block from Finestra work?
Does it add to the % block from peltesta attribute? (thus 55% increase?)

Depending on how these work, a FULL con Pelt1>Hop3 could easily be the best physical tank in the game (reaching huge amounts of block with a 2x or 3x shield while guarding).

Would be really nice to know so i can decide on a tanking path.

Help would really be appreciated.

PS I know slithering blocks magic atm, until said otherwise by IMC i believe it to be a bug as isn’t described anywhere on the skill or attributes.

I don’t know about the blocking calculation but about slithering and it blocking magic attacks. It actually makes you dodge enemies attacks. As it doesn’t specify the type of attack, I think it means both physical and magical attacks.

I am also curious about the blocking calculation though.

Hopefully someone can work it out… I have 4 swordsman with pelt in the build, all have the +25% block chance. Its coming back as a 7.2-7.4x increase of your block read on the stat page on all of them with a 1x multiplier sheild. (None high enough level to get a 2x sheild so i cant test that).
