Block

Blocking is a game mechanic that can prevent attacks from hitting. Blocked attacks deal no damage, and are represented visually by the text "block" briefly floating above a player. Skills that give blocking come in varying degrees of effectiveness, depending on both the percent of the time that they block attacks, and on what types of attacks can be blocked. Multiple sources of blocking stack multiplicatively, so combining two blocking skills with fifty percent chances of blocking each gives a total block rate of seventy-five percent.
