Talk:Flashing Blades

Does this skill block attack *skills*? I've activated it several times and yet to see any fewer Cyclone Axes and Triple Chops hit me when fighting Jade Brotherhood Knights. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Coredumperror (talk &bull; contribs) 02:04, 17 June 2006.
 * It will block attack skills 50% of the time, like other blocking things. Not non-attack projectiles, however (like Flare or Lightning Orb). You may just have been unlucky. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) ( 01:11, 17 June 2006 (CDT) )

If you press space w/ a bow and u just keep attacking, does it block attacks then? Is the whole bow animation count as attacking? I assume so, but just want to make sure.

Why does it say that you can have 100% blocking ability if you get a critical hit every 8 seconds? Critical Defenses dissipates in 6 seconds, not 8.--Redgin 14:58, 23 August 2006 (CDT)
 * adjusted math and timing. 50% + (50% of 50%) = 75% --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 15:11, 23 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Don't know where you got 2 50%s from, Critical Defenses is never at 50%, I'll adjust it accordingly. --Apocrypha 17:13, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

It should be noted that this skill is the only Dagger Mastery skill so far to not be an attack skill. -Isidore

best skill for assasin flashing blades+way of the lotus+huge combo (blocks much more than it seems)


 * Lol, I have it for a while and for some reason I just realized it was a stance. Obsidian Flame 23:48, 11 February 2007 (CST)

This skill is alot more useful than it used to be now, with its 75% chance to block. Trying it out as a A/Mo with Vigorous Spirit and Live Vicariously. Van Wark 15:52, 9 March 2007 (CST)
