<p><span dir="auto"><span class="autocomment">{{r}}Ranger</span></span></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{otheruses|the [[Game mechanics|game mechanic]]|suspensions or blocks on a player account|Ban}}<br /> <br /> [[Block]]ing is one of the [[game mechanics]] that prevents an [[attack]] from hitting. A blocked hit deals no [[damage]], yields no [[adrenaline]] to the attacker nor the blocker, and is visually represented by the text &quot;block&quot; floating above the target's head seen by the attacker along with a distinct sound of a muffled hit. There are a variety of skills that provide blocking, usually either cast on an ally or yourself. You can also [[Body block]] and otherwise [[Snare]]. These are generally used to defend a character under heavy fire from physical sources (such as [[Warrior|Warriors]] and [[Ranger|Rangers]]) since they do not prevent the damage from non-attack skills.<br /> <br /> However, it should be noted that many skills can [[punish]] a target for blocking, providing extra damage, [[knockdown]]s, or other penalties if the attack is blocked.<br /> <br /> Other skills bypass blocking or disallow the target to block.<br /> <br /> There is no cap on stackable blocking skills, but the effects are multiplicative. This means that two 50% chance to block skills do not add up to a 100% chance to block. Rather the first block skill applies, and any attack that bypasses that has to pass the second block skill for a total effective chance to block of 75%.<br /> <br /> A [[miss]] chance is always resolved strictly before a block ''chance'', regardless of the order they are applied. However, skills that block &quot;the next attack&quot; will always resolve on the next attack received, regardless of other effects.<br /> <br /> Block chance has no effect against [[spell]]s. Even if a skill description specifies blocking [[projectile]]s, it will apply only to [[projectile attack]]s and not to [[projectile spell]]s.<br /> <br /> {{TOCright}}<br /> <br /> == [[List of
